From my Facebook Memories.

This was how I reacted when the rapist was elected the first time, and again in 2024..

Van Badham wrote this in 2024:

Hey, if since the re-election of Trump you’ve been sick to your stomach, sleepless, not really eating, not really moving and maybev curling up on the floor, having nightmares, struggling to talk, carrying around an acrid heaviness in your bones, barely restraing a flood of screaming tears and feeling dangerously distracted yet unable to distract yourself from thoughts of horror and darkness…
… You are PROBABLY a survivor of sexual violence and millions of Americans have just made a rapist a king.
You are having a serious trauma response and it’s rational.
Book in with your therapist – now, before you’re consumed in a spiral.
And please remember (this is what I chant to myself):
You have already survived the worst thing that can happen to anyone.
You are made of a strength no one else can understand. It will protect others.
