6. "Sad to say that if slavery were on the ballot today, it would overwhelmingly pass. This is how deeply Trump has stoked the racism in this country, and it came through for him. Also, Kamala was too confident in white women voting for her. They are NEVER dependable when it comes to dismantling patriarchy."

5. "It's a hard pill to swallow, knowing that some of us got conned by Trump. Sure, he tried to appeal to the Black vote, only to insult us more by shoving some lame-ass sneakers in our faces as a means to relate. Even more so, he thought having a rap sheet and going to jail was more 'relatable.' Don't get me going about immigrant POC 'invading cities.' Those of you who did, shame on you. You fucked around and now going to truly find out how much he cares."

4. "I feel numb. What's sad is the demeaning and degrading words that were spoken about her by Trump and JD Vance. It's sad. This is how they feel about Black women. She held her head high. I don't know how he got all those votes."

3. "I feel honestly depressed that so many other communities have taken from us and used us Black people for political gain and POC 'solidarity,' but were unable to vote accordingly."

2. "Kamala, like most Black women, did the best she could in the time allotted. I'm not shocked she lost. Americans keep trying to gaslight Black Americans as if they're not racist. Four years ago, it was crime that was their concern. With crime down and the economy going in the right direction UNDER THE DEMOCRATS, they did gymnastics to use that as their issue. Trump knows his base are bigots, yet they will justify him not being one, missing the point that he knows they're racist."

1. "I'm done. I'm just done. I'm not going to pretend that I'm not hurt or angry because I am. I'm not surprised and I wish I was. I'm not protesting or making calls; I'm not boycotting, going door to door, or signing petitions either. Y'all all wanted Trump, and Trump is who you have."

So, I decided the "weekly hashtag" thing won't be super firm on a day of the week, and I'll let critical thinking, well being, and deescalation subjects overlap, 'cause I'm a housewife, that's some pro level shit I was talking about before. Anyway, here's a post with an exorcise, "there's more in this moment", to help with grounding and gratitude.
