My girlfriend has been longtime liberal and feminist. She's opened my eyes to a lot of things. She's going through the same emotions, feeling empty inside and feeling hope is lost.
We quit watching the news and she left Twitter where she spent a good part of her day.
The fist trump presidency almost ended our relationship. She knows all to well that I used to be a Republican and when her emotions got the best of her, she saw me as the enemy. There's just as much hatred in the left as there is on the right. I don't know if our relationship will survive the coming years. I wish there was something I could do to avoid what's coming. I'm sorry it's come to this, for you, her, and I.
