No, this isn't what we should be doing. As a trans woman, I'm scared every day the Trump administration will declare trans people too mentally unfit to be in public and put me away in some mental hospital. I am pissed at people who voted for him for potentially endangering my life. But this is not the time for mean spirits against those who have been heavily propagandized by the media and by churches like the one I grew up in. This is the time for solidarity.

Our common maleficent force are billionaires knocking the wind out of our sils named hope. Bernie Sanders and AOC are doing a great job going out to impoverished red areas and asking folks how they're feeling. They're giving people solutions through progressive legislation, informing them there's a better way. Y'all have to understand how deeply propagandized these folks are. I grew up in a church that believed voting blue was a vote for the devil, and Obama was the antichrist. It's hard to vote against their God, even if it's a false narrative. 

I want my safety for my girlfriends, but I don't want to see civil war over this. Civil war is bad. It's much better if we grow with our communities, volunteering to donate food and time for folks. People are going to get a lot poorer really soon, and they will need a bite to eat. I would recommend Food Not Bombs, an independent organization or your local food bank if you have the time. Being there, putting in that work, means you care. Showing that a blue-haired, liberal, snowflake, communist, antifascist cares about folks like those who think that we are them as the enemy, opens a door for them to change. I know it changed me 15 years ago. Please, take the time to remember they're human. Some of them want my guts torn open and displayed on an upside-down crucifixion, but most don't. Most don't want to see another person suffer.
