The Night Before
I don’t know what to say here but I feel I need to put something out there before tomorrow’s election. As an Australian I have no sway over the result and it will not immediately affect me, but I understand what a declining United States will mean for the world. While I have no love for that country, I understand its role in our world, and the effect its withdrawal could have.
As a trans person, I feel scared for those who may be prosecuted and hounded if Trump wins, if any other trans person is reading this, while I do not know you and cannot influence your future right now, I hope you know that I’m rooting for you, across the sea.
As a young person, I know what a trump presidency and republican congress could mean for my future and the future of our climate. I know what they plan to do and how an American withdrawal from climate policy could be the last straw for climate change.
I understand that tomorrow will not be definitive and it may not even end up as bad as we fear, all I know, all my message is to Americans right now, facism has come to America, and it’s wrapped in a flag, and holding a bible.
If you have the power, use it, I urge Americans to vote.
