Darlins, I don't even know what to say. I don't understand my own country. I don't understand how the election went down the way it did. I don't know why people decided to vote for someone so hateful over someone so hopeful. I don't know what this is going to mean for the US, or for my family. We're pretty standard American fare, but my husband works at a government department that this man has sworn he'll get rid of. He researches the sorts of things that are important to combating climate change, yet this man says climate change is fake. I likely won't ever need to worry about having an abortion, but my daughter is seven. She can't just stay in our blue state for her whole life, and who knows how long the status quo there will last?
I'm shaking, and crying, and scared. I have to try and keep it together for my kid's sake, but I'm genuinely very stressed for the future now.
If you disagree with me, don't let me know. I don't want to deal with that today. If you're feeling the same things, honey. I'm so sorry. We've got to find our people where we can and hold on tight.
