The hardest part is knowing who we live among.

The hardest part is knowing who we live among.
I've been in "try to be positive" mode since the election.

But I have to get this off my chest, so I'm going to type it out.

Without hyperbole, Trump has done probably a million things, in public and without shame, that should have been the END of him.

Literally a million things.

But what really sucked the soul out of me was when he mocked that disabled reporter. I still can't believe that he was elected after he did that. I find it impossible. Surreal. Foul. Evil. Rage inducing. Tears of rage.

And here's what I'm getting at...people voted for that...thing.

I have not been able to reconcile that in my mind ever since it happened.

And the result of this one act has been profound for me. Because now I keep my circle small. I don't know who to trust. I mentally vet everyone new who I meet.

I wonder if they voted for that son of a bitch. And when I get just a whiff that they did, they're ****ing gone.

And this is how that ****ing bastard altered my life. My world view. My way of looking at things. And I'll never be the same because of it. Because I now know who is out there. All of my naivety has been stripped away. All of my happy innocence. My joy, my trust. From that one act, out of millions.

And this is what he has sown upon millions of people. This bizarre stripping of trust.

Some call it a form of PTSD. I don't know, I'm not an expert in such matters, but it sure feels like something unspeakably bad. And it is permanent.

So we can talk about stolen documents, about his shitty cabinet picks, his grifting, his whatever.

The REAL problem is what he did to the psyche of America.

For you Trumpers that are reading this...**** you with a jackhammer. And I'll gleefully tell you this to your face with a smile, just to see what you'll try to do about it.

Other than the lie about trying to stay positive in the second sentence, this DUmmie's post kind of surprised me at how accurate it would be if you replace "Trump" with "Biden".

Of course, it also still surprises me that some people actually believe that Biden REALLY got 11,784,895 more votes than the "first black president" got in the 2008 election or 15,367,706 more votes than the Magic Muslim/Great One got in the 2012 election or 6,842,081 more votes than the great Kammie Kameleon, crown princess of knob gobbling, got in this last election. Especially since Princess Kammie was running against the alleged world's biggest threat to democracy.

Given my county's voting patterns and some Dem voters' acceptance and encouragement of politically-motivated violence, maybe I should be worried about my 75%-Dem-voting neighbors ...

...

... nahhhhhh, I know they aren't that variety of Dem.
