I was an organizer for Moveon... [View all]

I got so pissed off today because someone called me a snowflake when I said that and was trying to convey how serious the situation with the Trump administration is. When Trump got elected, it wasn't like other elections; it was a complete loss of faith in humanity. That people would rather elect a convicted rapist, felon and terrorist, who lead an insurgence trying to overthrow our democracy, who inherited a booming economy and through his countless lies and butchering of the pandemic left the country in shambles, then a woman! It's appalling! There are no words for the hatred I feel for this country. Everything I did at Moveon was for nothing! I've wasted my life trying to get people to vote and further liberal policies. In the end, you can't fix stupid. I'm in a country of terrible people who hate people like me. You can't make people care. I've never been more scared of the future. I wish I could move to Canada. The Democratic Underground is the only place for people like me.
