Did you know you could come home after traveling for 5 days and a piece of unopened mail could make you cry?
Jesus. I tried so fucking hard. So many of us did.
I’m so sorry. It isn’t about me or you but it is, in its way. I should’ve tried harder and I guess a lot of us could have, should have, would have.
And we will.
Gotta study their playbook, friends.

This white man hit on me. He’s career military so I know he’s not about that Trump life but I checked just in case. “I’m not a willfully ignorant hypocritical piece of shit, girl,� he said. “I have the ability to think critically. I read actual reported news, from reputable sources, not psychotic Breitbart forwards. I’m not a racist, and I do not want to force fifth graders to bear the babies of their rapists. Guess who does? Mike Pence. He’s against abortion across the board in all cases. He wanted to jail gay people who sought to apply for a marriage license. Just sought to APPLY, girl.� “Okay that was kind of heavy,� I said. “But I admire your beliefs and you’re right on all the way. Do you want to take me to Macaroni Grill?� “Fuck that trash,� he said. “We’re going to Cheesecake to discuss how everyone who voted for Trump is a racist who enables hate. A vote for Trump is a failure of imagination. These people are too lazy to imagine what it might be like to walk around with a different skin color or to make a different income level or to live in a different part of the country.� Anyway, we just ordered apps and he picked up an engagement ring on the way out of Costco, where we met.

AHEM. Just gonna leave this right here. If only this man had ten years of elected experience at the local level AND in the Senate now hmmmmm…that would make one hell of a candidate in 2020 espeeeeecially if he also went to Stanford, Oxford and Yale. Ahem. Ooh and I’m sorry, did he play some football in college? How interesting.
