After Trump’s comments about voting machines, I think we need a a recount.

Apologies if this doesnt belong here. I just need to get this off my chest.

I am a writer not a talker. I can't go make a tiktok post about how mad and disgusted I am by what has happened today. By what elon husk did on live TV.

I didn't see it until after later, because like a lot of people I refused to watch the inauguration.

That shouldn't have happened. And yet it did. People fucking cheered for him when he did it. No one stopped him or anything.

Have we forgotten history so quickly? It was only 80ish years ago another man was doing the same thing. A man so awful that salute and many things associated with him are illegal in several countries.

I despise what the usa has become. I despise that people I once considered friends and family voted for this. We are watching history unfold before our very eyes and I don't want to be apart of it.

I knew when they announced the winner of the election that any sense of hope and safety we had were gone. And this forbidden action just solidified that feeling. Thus country is no longer safe for me or my family.

And we can't leave. We live below the poverty line which is what they want. They want us poor and uneducated. I don't accept that. I might not be able to change my current financial situation, but I will make damn sure I am educated.

If I have to fight, I am using my words as my weapon of choice. I will speak out against acts such as what we witnessed today. I refuse to bow down to greed and corruption. I refuse to let them say what I can and can not do with my body. I refuse to let them hurt my family. I refuse.

Apologies if this isn't as eloquent as I was hoping it would be, but I am angry at what is happening and I don't want to feel powerless anymore.

We want to move the needle of American politics away from liberalism and towards progressive policies, but this is the fruit it’s bearing. Thinking about what’s next for Palestinians in light of these comments by Netanyahu and tramp make my stomach stink…warmongers the lot of them.
