I can’t even. Most people of color have said that they weren’t surprised by the last election, and I can’t say that I was shocked (especially with, gasp, a female alternative!). But we continue to reach new lows so quickly, and so far down the scale of decency, that few of us could have foreseen them. Whether law makers have lost all sense of morality, they’re completely spineless or they’re only now showing their true colors, they have given up any pretense of caring about their constituents during the “Trump era.” The only God left is green.

The only good thing I can say is that the lines are very clearly drawn now. The vast majority of us are being hurt by some or all of the current legislation; if we continue to vote these guys into office, I guess we’re just voting for self-annihilation.
