The dread in my stomach I get from reading shit like this is too much to stand at times. I feel so much horror and doom over this and how much worse it could get. I am ok for now in WA state but like for how long.

Idk y'all. I consider myself quite left. I don't like Democrats. I hate their positions in Gaza. A part of me understands not wanting to support them over this. But another part of me questions how you can just look at this. This and the horrific stuff happening after abortion bans and not see how dire this shit is. I fear for my life if trump wins. This shit is only the beginning. Panic attacks whenever I see this shit and know how much worse it'll be if trump wins and project 2025 is allowed to happen.

Idk what I'll do if he wins. I feel so damn hopeless and afraid

This is why I'm Vote Blue No Matter who since 2016. I'm privileged to be white and cis and all that, and sometimes I am tempted to withhold my vote or vote third party because the Dems frequently piss me off with how they drop the ball. But I learned in 2016 how absolutely terrifying a Republican presidency can be for my trans and nonwhite friends, and that matters to me more than almost anything.
