Friends are scared.
They are deleting their accounts online because they are afraid of what is coming, tracking and 2025.
The people having buyers remorse? I invite you.
Sit with that feeling.
Sit with it and understand that fear of what you voted for envelop you and
swallow
you
whole.
You have to sit with it.
Not as a punishment (although my darker angels feel the deliciousness of your incredulity at what you have truly wrought upon the Rest of Us) but as a canary in your coal mine.
That fear, that regret, that unknowing and How Can It Happen Here? is in fact a welcome mat.
Welcome.
We’ve been here fighting for The Other, ourselves, our bodies, to make a living to not be assaulted, for the rule of actual law as great equalizer - for a very long time.
We are tired so settle in.
We are familiar with that horror you are waking up to because some of us? Some of us were born with that knowing before we even knew how cruel, exacting and pestilent this world can be when we don’t fit the mold.
You know the mold I am talking about.
At least now you do, that is.
So welcome. Wallow. If you are just realizing what has happened you should take some comfort in the fact that you probably will not be harmed - because if you didn’t know what your precious vote for that man would really do you’ve been living the life of Riley. Note: that is “lived” as in that ship has sailed.
So again, welcome.
