I've received a couple of messages on various platforms that ate some iteration of "Heeey buddy... how you been?", all from people that ghosted me for at least a month before the election. Some of them said the most horrid things imaginable about me and mine beforehand. As if now all of a sudden that they "won" we can be civil and I will "see the light".
Talked to about a dozen others and they all said something similar happened to them.
Needless to say my responses varied from no response to reposting, in quotes, the worst of what they said, or in some cases just free helicopter ride memes.
Not yet. They’re either silent because they’re still digesting that Trump won and maybe Biden cheated, or they’re screeching incoherently that Trump is winning because he’s a dictator. And fuck all Trump supporters.
While I do love my husband and sons, and most days I’m fine at home, I really do wish there was someone, in person, that I could share with. I’ve lost just about everyone because of my Trump support and for refusing to call 74 million people racists, sometimes it was as small as uttering that “he’s not Hitler, let’s not be extreme”.
Just remember that you're not alone. Family is definitely the hard one to deal with. Friends are whatever, but having close family accuse you of awful things is brutal. There are million of people like you.
Thank you.
