January 7, 2021

my heart hurts so much right now
i don't know what happened yesterday
the president incited a riot
and the rioters were allowed
to storm the capital building
how does this even happen?

"not all trump supporters"
just doesn't cut it 
"not all men" are rapists
and not all of hitler's supporters
wanted to kill jewish people
but that's not the point.
you have aligned yourself
with violent racist nationalists
(there is no denying that anymore, either)
who can't let go of the mentality
that says "might makes right" 
now you have to call them out
because the whole world
thinks you are just as bad as they are
can we burn that stupid red hat
or will we let this tear our family apart
the same way it's tearing our country apart?
because in the end, we all have to live together
and figure out a way to get along
