As a Canadian, this has been scary and disheartening. I don’t know where we go from here.
It was one thing in 2016 when it wasn’t the popular vote and didn’t know what they were getting into. But now all I can think is… most of the voters voted for Trump even with Project 2025 published.
I don’t know how to act or feel. I don’t know what happens next.
As someone who lives in the Southeast US that works for a European company with children with their amazing mother who happens to be black, it is absolutely terrifying. The ignorance of people is absolutely astounding and terrifying. I have conversations with people I work closely with and even the ones who don’t support the insanity are very reticent to call a spade a spade. If we ever get out of this, the cleanup is going to take decades. How long is it going to take to repair our relationship with our former allies? Are my kids going to be safe? Do I pick up and move and hope for the best? I had someone wearing a don’t tread on me flag hat stare me down with disgust the other day while sitting with my family eating. How can this be happening in the open now? /endrant
Yeah I’m a trans woman in a red state and I’m treated as though I’m violating a taboo when I advocate for my own rights or bring up the fact that I’m leaving a right wing area for my own safety.
And I don’t think we’re coming back from this in our lifetime when it comes to international situation unless we wind up being rebuilt Germany style.
