Oh and I know my post sounds dramatic. I already struggled almost daily to keep my faith in humanity from bottoming out. Can't turn on the fucking tv without seeing animals neglected and abused by pos humans, starving kids, rape and genocide, people murdering each other with the slightest provocation. And this is one of the most peaceful times in history, per population.
So I don't watch the news, or read papers. But I still know it's there. Right this minute someone is dying horribly of a preventable disease, someone else is starving while I throw food away. I could go on but you get the point.
This election was just too much for me. Too much hate, too much us vs them. I wanted my kid to have a hopeful future. But honestly I expect her life from about age 40 or 50 on to be pretty bad. And I hope I never have grandkids.
Man, I hope I feel more hopeful when I see what he does and who he picks, but the signs do far aren't good.
