PS I think i hate you.
I am very afraid of what disasters the next four years are holding for us.
I am furious that my daughter could very well grow up having to fight for control of her body, to fight to reclaim the ground that women's rights that have been claimed since Roe v. Wade.
And I feel betrayed because I thought this election was about lives, women's lives, soldiers lives, our rights and liberties and that maybe that might be something that one should fight for. Not something that one could shrug and say "Oh well, I guess it looks like it isn't working out. Maybe next time."
You know, unless you are richer than god, a man who will lose nothing by conceding.
I am angry because the right will always come together around some central fuck-wit who will shout "QUEERS! QUEERS WILL GET OR KILL YOUR CHILDREN!" while the left will continue to fail to unify against them because we value our individual integrity over actual winning.
I am angry becasue less people could have died and since the right isn't very likely to admit the truth of that it weighs even heavier on me.
Fuck.
