Because I am.

As a Norwegian I cannot understand why Amerika elected that way you did. I am afraid you will regret this election, and I hope that you can fix it in 2028.

Thank you for taking interest in our current situation. Huge swaths of us are wishing we could wake up from this nightmare.

There is a whole “Fuck around & find out” movement happening where folks who voted for Trump are realizing they’ll be losing their healthcare, their kids will be getting worse education, prices will go up…so many are genuinely surprised Trump is going to screw them. Their ignorance cost all of us.

As an American, I can’t understand why other Americans voted they way they did. And I hope we will have the chance to fix it in 2028 but the wheels are off the buggy here😩

As someone who lives in the US, I'm looking to leave this hell hole, Scandinavia is very appealing. Would need a sponsor though, and help with learning the language.

Same 😕

Absolutely.

I'm also taking notes on those folks having a hard time making a decision as the election approached, struggling with pros and cons that are openly thrilled with the outcome. Yeah, I understand.

I can’t speak for all ww, but my friends and I have been grieving, in shock, disgusted, and are working with our local Dem groups to figure out what’s next and how/where we can help. We canvassed/volunteered just as hard for Harris as we did for Clinton, if not more so. I’m sorry it wasn’t enough. 💙

I understand - that being said Black women are specifically saying over & over that white silence is what has helped this situation come to be. Even if we’re tired, we have to keep going. White women have unique privilege to be heard by other white people. Now more than ever we cannot stop trying.

Every single silent one. It’s obvious they voted for evil or chose to be complacent in it.

nursekelsey.bsky.social•109 days ago

One million percent.

You should see my fb posts 🤣 I told them “mute or unfollow if you’re sick of me because it’s going to be a long four years of me being very vocal.”

hereinandyland.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yeah, especially the one whose only recent post was this one yesterday

nursekelsey.bsky.social•109 days ago

Yep. The only people wanting us to “still get along” or “not make it political” are always Trump voters. It’s literally people’s lives. Politics IS life.

dirtyknittinghippy.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’ve been mostly silent out of shock and disgust. What the actual FUCK. My first trip out of the house, and I just looked at everyone and wondered which ones hated everyone enough to vote like this.

nursekelsey.bsky.social•109 days ago

Same. I trust no one anymore.

azfatmom.bsky.social•109 days ago

💔. I’m more disgusted by the ones with Trump signs in their yards.

dirtyknittinghippy.bsky.social•109 days ago

I don’t see that often here, which means everyone is suspect.

pissedwoman.bsky.social•109 days ago

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how disgusted I am by my fellow white women, particularly Gen X like me. 🤬

nursekelsey.bsky.social•109 days ago

YES. I look at every single white woman with the heaviest side eye now.
