We’re About To Break Up With An Abusive President
Finally… after years of volatility, lies, and quintessential gaslighting, we’re able to leave this torturous, abusive relationship.
For so long now, we’ve been kept off-balance, living in fear of his next wildly unpredictable act. Who will the bully pick on today? Which institution will he dismantle? What abhorrent behavior will he normalize? His constant lowering of the bar has left us dissociated, unable to be shocked by anything he does.
Four long years of almost daily trauma has worn us down. We’re disoriented from the endless chaos and deception. Sometimes, when we were awash in it, before we formulated a mindset to protect our psyches, it was dizzying. But we summoned our inner strength. We grounded ourselves with reality checks and reminders of his manipulative techniques (remember, he simply repeats lies until people believe them...) We knew we had to keep our wits about us to find a way out of this nightmare. We’ve worked towards this day for so long now: we’re weary from plotting the details of our escape.
We prepared for weeks: stocking up supplies, to stay safely ensconced in our homes when the inevitable backlash happens. We’re bracing ourselves for impact… because we know in our bones that we’re not safe yet.
