So fair warning…today I’m going to use this space to express myself. My pain and anger. Some of you might wanna check back in on another day.
First and foremost on a personal note:
I feel so privileged to have done my part for this campaign. I’ve volunteered for so many campaigns in my life but this one was special. Personal. Hillary you are…to quote Tina Turner…simply the (very) best. You have spent your entire life trying to make things better for ALL women and children. From the first time I heard you speak in person in a tiny South Texas elementary school library you were (and will always be) one of the greatest female inspirations of my life. I am so proud of you…always…but especially today. From the bottom of this Texas girl’s heart…Thank you. 🙂
Now onto the rantin’.
Dig in they say. Keep fighting they say. Words that are being echoed by compassionate / strong women everywhere today.
Uhmm no thanks. Not today.
Congratulations, hate filled white, racist, misogynist human garbage voters. Your new president elect pandered to your lowest common denominator status and y’all snorted it up like crack…or coke…whichever one you snort.
Bless your cold ugly little hearts when you realize you were played…as the only people who benefit from new economic policies are your bosses and their bosses and their bosses. You know the republican way…the rich get richer and all that jazz.
So yeah, you let your little racist, misogynistic, hate filled hearts speak loud and clear last nigh. Good luck with that when you can’t afford the rent or to put food on the table.
Unlike you I’m a compassionate woman and my bleeding heart will even feel sorry for the likes of you / and especially your children…but if I’m completely honest a teeny tiny little part of me will take great pleasure knowing the impending financial hit will hit you the hardest.
YOU who masked your racist, misogynistic hate filled vote behind the guise of economic hardship.
I’ll say a little prayer for you tonight. Heaven knows you’re gonna need it.
Young voters: You’re on the rant list today too. You showed so much promise in the primaries. Rallying behind Bernie in numbers we hadn’t seen since Clinton in the early 90’s. You spoke loud and clear last night too. You had a little tittie baby fit and withheld your votes in protest. Good luck to you too when you can’t find a job after graduation.
More than any other group…mothers of daughters…fathers of daughters…granparents of girls: if you voted for this horrible piece of human garbage you are worse than he is. He owes nothing to your daughters yet. You do. You too sent a loud and clear message to your daughters / granddaughters that they don’t matter. You told them loud and clear that your hate filled racist, misogynistic, financial reasons are more important. More important than them being represented by someone who respects them as human beings. Of course most of you don’t even respect them as human beings yourselves so I’m not sure why I’d expect you to hold anyone else to higher standards. But I digress.
I feel so sorry for the young daughters of our country today.
Strong women, damn y’all we’ve got our work cut out for us.
Rant and cry today and then let’s do what we always do…pull it together and get back to work. 🙂
On one tiny good note:
Texas…we got it within single digits. We’re getting closer and closer to flipping this state (way sooner than expected) and it. is. going. to. be. glorious. Some of us have been working on this for so long and make no mistake y’all…it’s coming. 🙂
Y’all have a good week and I’ll see you soon in a better mood. 🙂
