Even if I didn't care who you voted but...

... this is what you got and on how many levels is this wrong?

A depressingly long list of hateful attacks shared online since Trump's election

Welcome to the new Reich, America. :/ We tried to warn you.

All valid and hella scary reasons. Which is why I am not going to say silent. I will exercise my right to protest and a let my representatives, both local and federal, know where I stand.

The next big hope stands with the Mid-term elections. You can bet that the Democrats are pushing for a big change then. Because the same process that stymied Obama (where Republicans actively refused to work with him) might work for us. I would rather the country come to a halt than go back that far.

Don't worry I won't keep you waiting that long for an update.

What is the mid-term election? Too bad I'm not familiar enough with your voting system. :( Is it something where you could still shift the balance of power in the government somehow?

I'm so happy you've still got channels of influence and you're not afraid to use them! You go get them, girl! :D
*hugs for being great and brave*

Oh, my mistake. While our President is elected very 4 years, members of congress are elected every 2 years. It is called Mid-term elections because it happens during the middle of the Presidential election. It is rarely covered because it is not normally exciting, but you can bet that 2018 people will be paying attention to them.

You know I will!

*hugs for hugs stake!*

Thank you for the explanation, I didn't know that! :) So there is a chance of a shift in the power structure closer in the future than in 4 years, that's good news! I hope Trum doesn't do too much damage until then, but shows his real face for people to realise, what a fraud he is.:P
Good luck until then, babe! :)

You are welcome. That is correct. I hope he doesnt either.

PS after your little reminder I have started working on Before Me again. There may be an update in the near future.

[my_thestral]

Ha, that's brilliant! I'm totally prepared to give you weekly reminders, if that helps getting another lovely chapter in this story, LOL! ;) I totally would, but I don't want to push you too hard so you wouldn't feel pressed. When you're ready! :)

Dearie, what have I said about you and your reminders? They aren't a bother at all! They are welcomed, in fact.

[my_thestral]

Heh, don't encourage me, or I'll start banging on your e-door daily, LOL! :D
Oh, as you said you were going to let your representatives know of how you feel regarding Trump - maybe this advice is useful for you:

Thank you for the article!
