017 - America hates women

I keep waiting to wake up from this nightmare but I am, alas, lucid.

I did what I was supposed to do. I filled out my ballot and sent it in. I urged people to vote. I did the only thing I could.

And…and…it didn’t matter.

American men hate women. They especially hate Black women. We are property to them. It’s like the last 100 years didn’t happen.

I feel so hopeless. I might live in a blue state, but I’m in a red county. It’s horrible to know that so many people are against me having rights. And they will laugh about it and make “liberal tears” jokes. That’s to be expected.

This feels like the beginning of the end. For democracy, for the world as we knew it. He promises to be a dictator on day one. Is there a point in going on? I’m too scared to kill myself. That stubborn part of me wants to survive. Or maybe I’m just afraid of dying.

Russia has all but admitted election interference. Just like 2016.

Just goes to show that America will vote for a racist, rapist felon over a woman. Signing off.
