To the future me

As I write this now, I still feel the dread and shock that has not abandoned me after the events of the Election. I truly feel that people do not realize the potential consequences that the decisions made from yesterday's election would have for the next four years. I never felt like this back in 2016, in which I felt sadness. 

I sympathized with many of the people in Tiktok who stated that their city was eerily quiet. In my city, the same was true, which is incredibly rare. Going to work felt much grimmer, with a sadness that could suffocate the air.

I found out the night of the election that my big sister, the one who I so loved and admired through the years, had voted for that maniacal self-indulging predator. I reacted so strongly, out of indignation as she has two girls and lives in a red state. My father believes she was influenced by her husband. I decided to only worry about my nieces.

My brother has always favored that man, which I found annoying. I often heard him listening to podcasts with men talking point about the logical aspects of the decision and the person who will be president, talking about how people are overreacting and women being "emotional" and exaggerating their reactions. My brother felt like the black sheep title gave him a sense of identity instead of accepting the criticism and trying to do better. I do not complain about his choice and his politics, he may do as he wants. It's the fact that for him to diminish and take the threats and promises of these monsters as lightly and as something that they do not plan to do because it's politicians that lie all the time that convinces me that he is not as smart as I thought he was.

My father was nonchalant. I did not care if he voted for the man but he did not because he understood the type of person that he was. I do love my father despite the many annoyances. The promise of Project 2025 and the diabolic Gremlim known as Stephen Miller is the reason why I fear for his life. Taking away the more than 30 years of life in this country just because he was born in another country would destroy his years of work that he wasted away.

So many people are not taking this as seriously as they should. No one listened to the warnings of former Vice President Pence, the pleas of General Kelly, and the cries of many former staff members of his presidency about electing him again. The Republican party really gave up any chance to have a decent and reasonable candidate who could offer so much more. 

A lot of people are going to die in the next 4 years because of him. It has happened because of his cabinet's policies. Now, with all three branches of power with a Majority Republican, he has the power to do as he pleases. It always starts like this. Even so much more he is backed and gave promise to a billionaire with degenerate behavior and a narcissistic personality to help run the country.

I have decided to sever my relationships with my brother and sister if all the things he promised do come true; if Project 2025 does come to fruition and if this country falls into depression. They are older than me. There was no reason to think he couldn't do it. I decided to prepare myself and leave once I get what I want. I will only love my father and his wife, My aunts, and my mother's sisters. If they were to suffer due to their incompetence, they would get no sympathy from me-My sister for allowing the future of her daughters-My Nieces- to be decided instead of letting them decide themselves and my brother, for his short-sightedness.

To the future me, who I hope remembers this.
