I will never forgive you

I will never forgive you for voting for him. I will never forgive you for putting the prices of eggs above human rights. I will never forgive you for your lack of empathy and compassion for others. I will never forgive you for your own self hatred that caused you to turn against your people. I will never forgive you for being dumb enough to allow yourself to be brainwashed into believing he wasn’t going to do what he has said multiple times he would do. I will never forgive you for putting families at risk of being separated. I will never forgive you for hiding your racism and homophobia behind your religious beliefs and then turning around and doing the opposite of Jesus’s teachings. I will never forgive you for putting hatred above human beings. I will never forgive you for standing behind someone that is actively trying to keep people that have already been marginalized and scrutinized by society in poverty. I will never forgive you for being stupid enough to vote against your own best interest and the best interest of the people around you because you wanted to align with a group that they, themselves, don’t even accept you.

For the queer people that are reading this, for the BIPOC people that are reading this, for the children who are at risk of being deported and separated from their families that are reading this, I see you, I hear you and I am here for you. Many of us are.

Now is not the time to “see what happens”. Now is not the time to stand around and hope someone does something. We are here now. Let this be a message to anyone that voted against human rights: We, the resistance, are strong. All that you have done is brought us closer together. Our community has seen worse days. Our community has experienced worse times. And we are some of the strongest people on this planet. We are the resistance, we’ve gotten through this before and we will do it again. And when we do, I will never let you forget it. Don’t switch up now. Keep that same energy. Stay on the team you voted for. We can do this without you. We don’t need nor want you .

Stay strong everyone. Lift each other up. Now is the time to unite bigger and better than we have ever done before. Never stop fighting.
