Let’s talk about it
“America just broke my heart. I feel really alone.”
On election night, I sat in my oversized chair. Excited to see the results, I flipped back and forth through the TV channels and ate popcorn.
I knew in my heart that Kamala Harris was going to be the first female President of the United States. I thought that America would move forward, heal, and start to improve.
I was wrong.
I overestimated America. The election results showed that America is still very much a racist and sexist country. The election showed that people care more about the price of eggs than the image our leader conveys.
The presidency used to be a position beyond reproach. On January 20, 2025, that will end. Now, we will have someone who throws tantrums like a toddler and threatens people to get what he wants. We will have someone who idolizes dictators and wants to be a dictator.
On January 20, 2025, American democracy will die and authoritarianism will rise.
On January 20, 2025, the American experiment is over.
And to those who voted for this overgrown child... I hope you get everything you voted for. You were in your “FA” phase. Welcome to the “FO” phase.
