I wrote this the day after the election and wasn’t going to post it. But, I’ve decided I’m no longer going to keep my mouth shut about politics because this is a “business page” and I might lose a few book sales… so, here it is:

I honestly don’t know who to feel more sorry for… those semi-awakened people who voted for garbage, but are ashamed enough to hide any affiliation to it anywhere on their social media, (what a lonely, confusing place to be.) – Or, the still, wildly unconcious ones out there waving their, “I’m an unconscious-indoctrinated-ignorant, American-flag-wearing-Lady-loves-Liberty-Bible-thumping-misogynistic, old, white, rich person, or, I’m-a-poverty-stricken-Confederate-flag-waving, bigfoot-truck-driving-redneck-hillbilly-who-cares-more-about (insert literally anything else… ) than-I-do-about-women-and-minorities” flag without hesitation.

I don’t know, man… I mean, I’m trying to find something redeemable about people in all this because that’s typically my nature… We’re supposed to forgive the totally unconscious; “For they they do not know what they do,” right? — But, having a computer in your hands 24/7 and not using it to learn about mental illnesses, personality disorders, dementia, and comparing current garbage to historical garbage (Hitler) and see the similarities to current orange garbage… yet still voting for it… I’ll tell ya, I just can’t forgive that.

Semi-conscious cowards who voted for garbage because of their: party affiliation, family pressures, church indoctrination, pocketbook, gas and grocery prices, bigotry… but can’t and then won’t show their faces… it’s really akin to the Ku Klux Klan doing what they did while wearing hoods. — Unforgivable. And so obvious. I mean, really.

I used to accept everyone. I held no judgements, met people where they were, and worked to get along for the sake of keeping the peace — regardless of what I truly felt inside. I welcomed everyone into my home regardless of whether they had respect or consideration or agreed with me or not. I mean, I grew up having to go to family functions where my molester was also invited because they “were family.” “Being the better person” my mom used to call it. Not anymore. It’s gotten me nowhere fast to be ultra-accepting and tolerant of everyone regardless of what they’ve done to me. Instead of keeping the peace, it’s made me sick with a war raging inside me. No. I won’t accept everyone anymore no matter what. Not this time.

And now, I consider this space part of my home. Like the decor in my home, it will reflect who I am, what’s important to me, and what I think. So, I no longer care what state of sleep you are in. Twenty-one people on my “friends list,” are no longer welcome in my home. And it’s becoming a smaller and smaller list by the day. I am super okay with that.

Call it hatred if you want, you’re not wrong about that. I’m owning my anger and disappointment. I’m feeling the betrayal to my core and not just glossing over it to move on. I’m calling it “selective socialization.” I do not want to be around what I’ve had to heal from anymore. Not ever again. I will not tolerate people who perpetrate evil things in the dark and then hide behind the bible as if their dirty deeds don’t count and then feign innocence while they hold up clean hands. I grew up with a psychopathic father who hated women with a passion, abused us mercilessly, and then went to church on Sundays as deacon. And he’s not welcome in my home. So, “triggered” is a colossal understatement.

Your choice to vote for someone like him (or not vote against someone like that) means you’re supportive of how my father and trump behave(d), and makes you culpable in the abuses that are about to happen in this country. It means you’ve not done your work to rise above your raising, process your trauma, and unlearn archaic ways of being in this world.

Your bible and beliefs will not protect you, nor will your money; and if your broke, trump doesn’t care. Your loved ones are not exempt from being included in the atrocities that are going to take place.

I hope you and your loved ones are safe because that’s who I am at my core. But, I for one, am done with love and light for people of such ignorant hate and vile darkness. I’m taking out the trash. And if you voted for trump, please turn around and let yourself out the back door. It will lock behind you.
