I'm 24 and I live in Canada. When I was in high school, SJWs didn't really exist, and social/political issues were barely on my radar. I went to Christian school luckily so I wasn't exposed to as much of that stuff anyway. I went to a public university and studied abroad in France, travelled Europe ... I was so happy and excited and optimistic about life. The world was a beautiful place to discover.

Until a couple years ago, most of the left just seemed like a bit of a meme, like they'd take things too seriously and come up with these radical views that (I thought) barely anyone actually believed in real life. Until all of a sudden it was like the emperor's new clothes - everyone knew it was bullshit, but everyone felt pressured to go along. Now there are people who want me fucking fired and my entire life ruined if they found out that I believe in the Bible. I don't believe transgender women are real women and I believe abortion is murder and should be illegal. And to most people around me, that makes me an evil person.

And now the mask has slipped and the left doesn't care who they censor, they don't care that everyone knows they cheated, they don't care if they're hypocrites. All they care about is power. All they care about is the fact that they have the power to destroy your life, take away your freedom of speech, take away your vote and take away your right to defend yourself. What "rights" do they even give a fuck about? If it can happen in America, what hope do we have here in Canada?

Even worse, my Christian parents are celebrating the fact that Biden and Harris have been "elected," despite the fact that they promised to make abortion legal through all 9 months and force taxpayers to pay for it. It makes me fucking sick that the left pretends to care about people but worships baby murder, and my family just wants to ignore it. They think I'm an insane conspiracy theorist because I said there was election fraud.

We're planning to have kids soon and I was so excited to become a mom but now I'm just scared. I want to go live on a farm or something away from everybody so I don't have to care about all this bullshit. The hardest thing for me to accept has been that things are not going to get any better for Christians in this world. We are already despised and it is only going to get worse. I wish I didn't have to raise my kids in a world that hates them.

This really does feel like taking the red pill and realizing that everything you thought you knew about the government was all a lie. And it's a hard pill to swallow.

Keep being that person. It's an unpleasant reality, but the Faith has always done better under persecution. Jesus didn't stump for a political order--he built a Church to lead the way to Him.

I'll continue to fight politically, but my focus is still spiritual. Perhaps someday I'll be arrested for maintaining my little Catholic book club, or my healthcare will be withheld because of "dangerous" political or religious beliefs. A corrupt world can only take from me what I'm already destined to lose. It cannot take my personal honor or my bond to Jesus from me.

St. Patrick entered Ireland as a slave, and he went on to convert the country to the Faith. Don't underestimate the power of prayer and simple faith. It has converted nations.
