I know millennials get a bad rap for being corny and too into BuzzFeed quizzes and identifying way too hard with Hogwarts Houses but we’ve been dealt a horrible hand and turned out to be the best generation

I thought this would hurt more than 2016 but it doesn't.
That was a shock. This is just confirmation.
We now know that 2016 wasn't a fluke or an aberration, that this is what the majority wants: whiteness, patriarchy, nationalism, hatred, nihilism.
Whether I want to spend the rest of my life in such a place is something my mind isn't prepared to consider.
Right now, I just know that I'm seeing the nation with my eyes fully open and there is no mistaking what so many people I Ioved and once respected, actually value.
As heartbreaking as that is, I now know where they stand, and I know it's nowhere I want to be.

Every year people use long lines to talk about the pride they have in American democracy. But it’s fundamentally anti-democratic to have such bad electoral infrastructure that people have to wait six hours to vote. It’s literally voter suppression.
