Partner and I both want to CTB after this election

[egAbwkOofXrX]

My partner is nonbinary and we're technically in a non straight relationship in a red area of the country. We have only been holding on because of government benefits like SNAP and my partner uses state insurance to access any medical care whatsoever.

My partner doesn't have a passport and mine expires soon, but we can't afford to leave anyway. It's already been so hard to convince my partner to stay alive when I don't even want to either. I can't be positive anymore.

My partners other queer and trans friends also want to die, people think it's "just politics" but this affects people way more than you realize. We're worried soon our relationship is illegal, that we can't get insurance or food stamps or anything.


People who support him have already been laughing at us and making fun, taunting us, saying we're stupid libtards and I'm so fucking sick of it

I want to acknowledge your pain thoroughly and say that I am also feeling the same way. I am a butch lesbian and I'm terrified of what the people in power will do to me and to those I love dearly.

At least you have each other. I hope you can both go through this crisis

Somehow, people don't want to hear that.

We've already had such a horrible year, barely kept the lights on or kept our apartment. Lost friends and family, feeling alone and hopeless already. Then this. We really can't catch a break, ever. Life only gets harder and more shitty

I see you and hear you. I am a queer person and terrified for my friends and community. Hold on to each other. Sending love and light <3

 

[opheliaoveragain]

heard and felt. i'm in a similar situation and the stress is making me and others mental and physical health worse. hang in there just for right now. leaving deserves planning as to not worsen your situation. we're here for you

This entire election was about separating us into easily descriminated groups.
Latino, LGBTQ, Women...it does not matter. I have been refering to them as the American Taliban for years.
The only intetesting point will be when they start to turn against their poorly educated supporters.
Until then, we get to watch the Clown Opera and hope crazy people are bad at carrying out their plans.
