Well, they’ve nearly broken me.
Between the near-constant text messages from unknown people, even received AFTER I noted, and the incessant election commercials on the news. You know, if I even watched television. I don’t even sit with my husband as he watches the news, as I cannot stand the man’s voice or the one-sided coverage or it all really. I continue to get my news from a variety of news sources, but even they are starting to drain me. Although I would 100% rather read about the batshit things that the GOP candidates say than listen to the sound of their voices. Yes, the sound of any GOP candidate is grating.
I am starting to get incandescent with rage listening to the non-stop lies. If I never have to read or hear “baseless claims” or “claims without proof”, it will be too soon.
If I never have to read about a woman who lost her life or her fertility because of a fucking abortion ban, it will be too soon. One woman has lost her life and her fertility because of the need for control over women that some men are trying to exert is too many.
Bless the news sources that are calling a lie a lie.
I have to work Tuesday night and I don’t drink but others can make a drinking game out of poll numbers returning.
Seriously, this is the 8th presidential election that I have voted in and I cannot remember once when it felt this fraught.
Ugh.
Buckle up, there will be rough water to come.
