Malignant Narcissism

As of the day of writing this, it has been 2 weeks since Election Day in the United States and the pain and numbness of the result has hardly worn off. I’ve said to everyone that the result of this election does not make me sad for myself because I know that as a straight, white male, my rights are not in any danger. I’m more sad and scared for all of the friends and family in my life who will be directly impacted by the incoming administration. My 2 transgender uncles, my sister and all of her friends, all of my friends online, especially those friends in states that are in the extreme parts of the country. I know how much stress, heartbreak and anger they feel in their hearts and I’ve spent a lot of time over the last 2 weeks just checking in on my friends and offering support however I can. Sadly, there isn’t much one can do. We just have to keep going and fight like hell to prevent rights from being taken away. I personally am very thankful that my sister and my uncles live in safe states where they should be safe but with what’s being said, I’m not sure if even that’s a guarantee. I’m not an angry person ny any means. I tend to be very relaxed and I tend to keep my stress and anxiety inward for fear of worrying those close to me. I’ve been very, VERY outspoken on my hatred for the president and vice president-elect and that will never change. I think they’re 2 of the most depraved, disgusting human beings ever and the fact that they will be leading the country come January just makes me very sick. And the fact that the majority of people in this country voted for them despite everything they have said and done just makes me weep for the future of this country.

Please take care of yourself and check in on your friends and loved ones. Let’s stick together and we’ll get through this.
