John. Thank you for getting me through this election season. I just voted (early voting) against bigotry homophobia and hate. The sheer relief and pride I felt was so overwhelming and cleansing. God bless this beautiful country and may our democracy prevail after Nov 5th. 🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🗳️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you John. I have watched people in my life that I love and have admired be so corrupted and debased by their support for the dictator. But they do not look at it that way. They think he’s the savior of the world, which I find so blasphemous. Nothing he does will ever make them turn away from the cult leader. It blows my mind and I will NEVER understand . As a Latina woman, it saddens and enrages me, frankly, that any Latinos support him. I chalk it up to self-hate. I can’t thank you enough for your eloquence, straightforwardness and TRUTH in your writing. It’s getting me through some dark days. My husband and I voted on Monday for Kamala!
John Pavlovitz talks as if he knows what I am thinking. It is comforting to have a voice to it. My question is, if Trump gets reelected, how do we live ?
We all need to listen and heed the call to not be silent in the face of racism, bigotry, hatred, fascism and authoritarianism!!! It is time to let everyone know that we are not going to stand for it; and the purveyors need to go back under the rocks they slithered out from under!!!!
Thank you for these words. You're right. This situation has made me more vocal, more active, and determined to stand up for what I believe.
Your use of personification is profound in this piece. Hatred and prejudice are visibly on the ballot in 2024 and must be defeated.

“Mobster Messiah”, so apropos. “America’s beauty is its diversity” 👍❤️

Yes! Kind voices must be heard. Let us roar at into the ballot boxes!!!
