Election day and I'm terrified
Nov. 8th, 2016 06:53 pmIt's election day, and I don't think I've ever been this terrified in my life. I'm watching my country vote for a man who is pretty much the embodiment of all things hurtful and hateful. This country that I love is following the path of evil, and it breaks my heart and has me sick with fright.
I don't know what I'll do if Trump wins. I don't think there is anything that could be done. All I know is that I've studied too much history, read too many accounts of the Holocaust and WWII to not be shaking right now.
When people ask how the Nazis could rise to power, how Hitler could have become so untouchable, I'll just point them towards this election and say, "This. This is exactly what happened before, and we're seeing it happen again."
I want to scream and cry, and neither one will do any good.
My God, what has happened to our country? I'm scared.
