2. In the exact same headspace
Fri Nov 8, 2024, 02:55 PM
Nov 2024

My life ended when my son took his life in January of 2022. I honestly feel the toxicity of the Trump Presidency combined with the isolation of COVID were contributing factors.

Since my son's death I've struggled mightily to believe there is a purpose. My son was a kind, caring, compassionate soul. Trump is as close to evil as you can get. However, with the campaign of Harris versus Trump I had given myself what is the worst thing to hold onto: hope. With the 2024 election that door has closed for good.

I'm honestly more devasted that so many people voted for Trump despite his obviously lack of an morality, compassion, empathy. He does nothing but spew hate, and he is rewarded for it.
