I can have a very dark sense of humor, but this is beyond its realm. This is not some game. It is not about political party affiliation. It's not simply "sending a message" to Washington. It was choosing to attempt to hate our way out of all problems real or perceived. He can say what he wants to foment the masses, but make no mistake, there is no "we". He serves the party of one. Himself. There lies the way of the dictator. The despot.
It all starts with making already marginalised people the scapegoats.
I'd normally be consoled by the saving graces of checks and balances. I'm not so sure this time.
I'd already been watching my situation close in on me. The only hope I've held onto for the last 3 years is fading fast. And that was before this.
I really can't say more than that at this time.
