I think there are many women in this country that have let their self respect & self love (if it ever had a chance to be fostered) be beaten down by all the BS we have to deal with as women...

Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon first described in 1973 in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors.

I'm sad, angry & scared... There are people amongst my community that basically HATE me for being a woman, a latina & a member of the LGBT community.. There are NAZI flags flying over house in SAN FRANCISCO...

Another quick note... I'm not even THAT scared of Trump himself, I'm scared of the cabinet of evil idiots he will put in place to roll out policies that will "MAGA" aka White, male & conservative again... Cause I believe deep down inside he didn't think he would win, cause he never really cared about being president. The VP choices were vetted for a person that could do the job for him.. Pence was the choice....

I'm scared of Pence as VP
I'm scared Ben Carson is being considered for sec of education
I'm scared Sarah Palin is being considered for a position in the cabinet
I'm scared Giuliani & Christie are being considered for high positions in our federal government.
I'm scared the racist sheriff that just got voted out of position in Arizona is being considered for his cabinet

I'm scared the senate will be on their side...

I'm scared....

i feel like i should write a little pamphlet on how to be a normal person under this kind of conservatism for some of y'all. this is old hat for us red staters.

I wish we didn't need it....

Also, I don't ever want to feel "normal" living under oppression and hate...

We should not be normalizing hate, we should be fighting against it...

you're gonna want a moment where you don't feel fucking insane. it can get exhausting.

It's exhausting to be a woman...
It's exhausting to be a latina woman...
It's exhausting to scrape & cry & bleed for a bit of independence and joy..

It's scary it will now be even more exhausting & harder to feel joy & free...

I worry for my brown friends & my gay friends being safe in their own neighborhoods in cities that most would believe to be "liberal" & accepting (and I hate using the words liberal & conservative in this regard, but it's the lingo)

yep. true things. i'm thinking about erecting a giant cross in my yard to throw 'em off my scent. i'm white with heritage, but my godlessness is a real problem.

honest to god responses i've gotten from those observations:

1) we literally /have/ to forgive him. (but, not anybody that doesn't espouse our ideas)

2) re refugees: God gave us common sense to use.
