144. I'm beyond hate with these

Thu Nov 7, 2024, 02:43 PM

Nov 7

people who supported Trump. I have never had friends who are republican, and I have very few family members who are republicans. The ones that are republicans are scummy by nature so even before I knew they were republican voters I was estranged from them.

I don't hate them I just want to get away from these nut jobs. It's just frustrating they have more influence on the direction this country goes.

I'm cynical by nature so I can deal with the fall out of this. I more so concerned about the future and how to survive in this environment Trump will create. I do feel we are now moving towards a sharp decline in quality of life. I will have to make an attempt to leave this country in the next 10 years if things go as I believe they will go. There is no guarantee I will be successful, but I have to try to get away now.
