I have seen a few people who think since Trump won we should extend an olive branch and try to mend the divide in this country ... and I'm sorry but I'm just not there.
I may never be there.
Don't get me wrong, I understand what they're saying and how healing the divide will ultimately only make us a stronger country but I have to be honest, with everything they've put us and our families through over the last FIVE YEARS, I'm just not sure I want anything to do with them, let alone extending an olive branch they'll claim is sexist or racist anyway while trying to set it on fire to MAKE A POINT about equity or some other horse crap they've forced down our throats.
Just over them. Call me immature, I can take.
Especially when I think about everything they've done and said:
- They've called us traitors, Nazis, and domestic terrorists, not to mention racists, sexists, misogynists, homophobes, etc. etc.
- They tried to impeach, jail, and even kill our president.
- They took work, school, and church from us in some cases for years.
- They tried to force us to take a vaccine.
- They insist women's rights center around being able to kill our most innocent.
- They call us stupid and uninformed for disagreeing with them.
- They burned down our cities, looted businesses, and tried destroying and rewriting our history.
- They told our children their skin color is more important than their character.
- They let mentally ill men who like to play dress-up in women's and girls' spaces and sports.
- They refuse to define women because it could upset those same mentally ill men who like to play dress-up.
- They claim keeping adult material out of school libraries is banning books.
- They LIE about abortion laws and deliberately misinform women.
- They expect us to pay off their student loans and if we refuse, we're greedy.
And so much more ... I'm of the mind that being divided from people who hate me that much is probably a good thing.
Welcome to the reckoning.
Buckle up.
