I wish I could just tell the truth. The truth is that I’m not sad because Biden won, I’m sad because a good portion of Americans voted for Trump.

Full disclosure: I just made this throwaway to avoid any of my friends or family seeing this. I live in a red state and I’m a lifelong Democrat in my mid-twenties, and I find myself just exhausted. I’m a Christian, I’m a feminist, I’m queer (I know that’s God forbidden), I have disabilities, and I’m just disgusted. <br><br>In less than 24 hours, I got to see the most epic celebration ever, and then the saltiest salt from people who can’t accept that they lost. <br><br>I wish I could just say this without being attacked. I wish I could just say the truth as to why I’m hurting. It’s not that Trump won. It’s not that Biden won. It’s that I see my community is full of people who would rather vote for a racist, sexist, homophobic piece of shit than someone who will just give us the bare minimum. I’d rather be the peasant with the like 1/4 loaf of bread than the one with no bread at all, and Trump literally offered us less than nothing. <br><br>He’s a literal nationalist, and for people who claim to be so Puerto Rican/Cuban/Mexican/Dominican/whatever, it’s really shows how much they hate in their heart to vote for someone who literally believes in ethnonationalism, the very thing that led to the assassinations of our people. <br><br>I don’t know what to think. I’m a very religious person, and I just wonder if God wanted Trump to win. I know that’s bullshit, but deep down, I feel like I’m broken for believing that Trump was wrong. I know the truth is he’s a literal demon in a human body, but people love him, and I wonder what’s wrong with me. <br><br>I wonder if there’s something wrong with me for feeling like this, if I’m just being dramatic. <br><br>I’m tired, and I want to stop hurting.
