This is such a wonderful, powerful piece of writing. Reaching the end and seeing how young the author is impressed me even more. I have had the exact same experience but as a middle age person. I voted for Biden and celebrated in the streets when he was elected. But a few days later when I found out that Trump gained in every category except white men I realized my blue bubble was giving me an inaccurate view of that world. I went on a journey to find different voices, such as this Substack, and have humbly had my eyes opened. So much of the rhetoric now reminds me of the rhetoric after 9/11. When the Democrats brought Dick Cheney on the stage during their January 6 melodrama I knew we were sunk. You're either with us or against us. The war on terror is coming home. But don't look at the fact that the Democrats have spent $43 million to elevate the terrorist candidates. I feel relieved and full of gratitude that there are young people such as yourself out there Kiyah. Keep speaking your mind. We need you!!
