I have not blogged in a very long time I know but I had to blog about this mess of an election tonight. I just don't get it. I sit here shocked and speechless as I type this. It seems as though hate has won in this country and it sickens me. It's so sad and I don't know what to think. I am terrified of this outcome, not just for me but for all the women, non-whites, LGBTQ+, Muslims, ect in this country. I am terrified of what this could bring us and I am ashamed to be an American and a Floridian right now. Proud of my home state of Virginia though. This happened right before the holidays too.
This election has brought out so much closeted hate, bigotry, intolerance, violence and I am terrified that is just going to get worse now. I am terrified for the world. I feel hopeless at this point and I don't know what else to do but pray. I never in all my years ever imagined something so terrifying that could happen. I don't know what is going to happen from here and for the next 4 years all I do know is that there are still good loving people here in the US and even though our voices became drowned out by the hatred and bigotry we are still here and we will never give up the fight. We may be down now but we will never be out. We can't let hate win. We can't give into fear. We have to continue to fight for what is right no matter what happens. There is still love out here. I promise you not all of us white people voted for that orange monster I know I didn't and neither did my fiance Rob who's birthday is today actually and neither did all my idols.
I can't believe this really happened even though it's not over yet it's still surreal to me. How so many people can support such hatred, racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, ect is beyond me. This just shows how much hatred is still rooted here in the US and it's frightening and sad. We are one people, one planet, and we can't even come together to make things better for everyone. I was really hoping to see our first female president get elected tonight. Even though I am terrified right now all I can do is pray. I will pray for a miracle, pray for a better outcome, pray for love, pray for peace, pray for anything to help this disaster.
The only thing I can think of right now that brings some form of comfort right now is one of my favorite shows Once Upon A Time and 2 of my favorite characters Snow White and her daughter Emma Swan. Before Emma was born, Snow White had a bounty for her heart from the Evil Queen (Regina) because as a girl she told Cora (Regina's mom) about Regina's love Daniel and Cora killed him and ever since then Regina wanted Snow White dead basically but Snow White is a Princess she has her kingdom to run and even while on the run she was always there for her people. She protected them and found her true love with David and had Emma but of course the curse forced them to send Emma to our world through the cabinet. Emma is the savior and is always there for everyone. She protects those she loves the most. She and her parents and Regina who is amazing now save their town on the daily from villains and dark ones. It makes me believe that love conquers all and that good will always win. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
So, enjoy the holidays coming up as best as you can because come January which happens to be my birthday month unfortunately we could have an orange monster as our next president even though I will never consider him my president.
~Peace and Love to everyone~
