I’m at a loss for most words this morning so this will be short. I feel physically ill. A guttural response to the news I observed last night. I woke up this morning to the confirmation of what so many thought wouldn’t happen. But it has. It happened. Now I fear for my rights and so many others. We are at a huge risk for losing so much now. I may lose my right to be married. To go places others can go. I also understand the fact that I am a cis white male and have privilege and do not have the same struggles others re about to embark on. They need support just like me.
I’m truly scared for what’s about to happen over the next four years. The one thing I can hold out hope on is that after the next four years the same thing won’t happen again.
I stand with those who are at risk for losing their rights over the next four years. We can get thru this. We must stand together and be brave and never lose hope. We can speculate what will happen, but we won’t know until it happens. So, for right now I will take a break from the internet and focus on my mental health for the next while.
