if it helps - and it genuinely has for me! - try thinking of everything you do to take care of your heart, mind & body to ensure your own well-being as a tiny way to steal his life force, eat up one of his last days on earth and give it to yourself, because you MUST OUTLIVE HIM to dance on his grave

Absolutely disgusted with how this played out.
I truly thought we were better than this and was looking forward to leaving the violent, hate filled rhetoric of MAGA behind.

The entire campaign was Trump going "I am going to screw you over" and voters going "he doesn't mean it."

I will never understand the death penalty and I will especially never understand how politicians can sanction the murder of people they know are innocent.
