Hello everyone. I have decided to write my thoughts out after the USA presidential election. Last night I went to bed with a democratic lead and I wake up and find my whole country is now Republican. I respect people believes to chose their parties and understand that not everyone agrees on everything. However this victory for Republicans is near death sentence for me.

Through out his campaign Trump showed he was xenophobic, sexist, hated everyone who wasn't exactly like him and promised to help his business buddies get more money, while destroying the environment, taking away civil rights, and promising to bomb countries and people who did nothing to us.

I am in a group of people that Trump has declared shouldn't have rights. I'm mentally disabled, a woman who has a medical reason for birth control, and has friends in the LGBTQA+ community and believes people shouldn't be punished because of where they come from or what their religious beliefs are.

In the next four years, I fear I will lose my state health insurance, my SSI, and my home. That the world around me will become worse as we stop using clean energy and allow businessmen to continue their destruction of the environment and the rights people have. I fear there will be no jobs available for me to get if I lose my SSI. I'm fearful that gun violence will get worse and end up in my small town.

Growing up and living in this day and age has always been tough, but I lived through years of extreme Republicans who take their doctrine to far.  I don't know if the USA will still be whole or standing in the next four to eight years. If anyone can help calm my fears I would greatly appreciate it otherwise I don't know how to survive the next four years.
