This is an actual email exchange between myself and a family member the day Trump became President.
I had gone to bed election night thinking that the witch was gonna be there in the morning. Woke up, turned on the tv dreading the new reality when, BOOM, Trump had won! I could not believe it. I never thought she would lose (kek).
So I sent this message, not Trump fan at the time, just conversation, wholly thankful she did not win.
"wow it is a glorious day in America, huh?"
This is verbatim the response I received -
"Actually NO, due to this John and I will be losing our health insurance, as well as his arthritis medicine which is 4000$ a month… we pay 10$. two lgbtq friends who live in Pa. (different places) were both told to "watch out" because "now that he is elected their faggot ass won't be protected anymore" someone yelled at me and another woman as we were walking to the post office yesterday "woohoo let's grab that pussy" It's OK to voice your vile hate cuz "he tells it like it is" so we can too. we will lose our earth, air and water because all regulations will be lifted and the EPA dissolved. Wildlife is doomed, as his head of usfws is avidly recruiting trophy hunters as "conservationists". Rights to choose what women can do with their bodies will be gone as well. oh… and lucky us… Rudy Giulliani. so no… excuse me if I don't agree… it is not a glorious day."
I answered "We have no idea what will happen. But time will tell"
reply "shit has already happened and time will make it worse"
And no, we have never spoke about these things (or much of anything) since. I was shocked and saddened at this email (tho I could agree with the Giulianni part). I would love to include my family in the winning that has been going on ever since DJT, because winning can be a lonely place without your loved ones alongside you. Sure they will catch up, but damage has been done and sadness lingers.
Thanks Fam for standing in this past year. WWG1WGA
