Dear 45

Dear 45

I would use your name but I don't believe you deserve to be named. A number is even too much value to give you honestly. I'm sure if we ever met you'd feel the same about me yet the difference is you have genuinely destroyed the lives of millions of people living in the United States...while you'd hate me for who I love, my queerness, my black skin, my respect for science above religion, my religious views and much more.

Let's go back to 2016 when my spouse and I walked down on a rainy night, to ensure that our vote would be counted and the candidate we felt would do best in running this country would have 2 votes more towards winning: we signed our names to vote for Hillary Clinton ( yes she gets named but you...you haven't earned that respect).

Fast forward to the votes of ours, and the rest of the country, being counted and myself feeling the relief of seeing the democracy I was taught about in school in action. 65,853,514 people agreed that Hillary Clinton should have been the next President of the United States...I was honestly astonished that somehow you, 45, managed to get even one vote let alone 62,984,828 but still YOU LOST THE POPULARITY CONTEST. Sorry "popular vote" but yea, you LOST.

A legitimate loss and yet somehow those millions of votes were shoved aside and ignored for some 304 votes and you sadly won due to the Electoral College.

Before you even became President officially, for the first time in a long time, I became concerned for my family and our well being as citizens in this country. Your platform brought the worst of the worst out of the wood-works. It made racists and bigots feel safe to start openly advocating for the harm of anyone who doesn't fit their warped sense of what makes "America Great".

As I said in my opening, I am everything you love to hate. It showed in the laws you began to unravel in your 4 year term. You spent most of 2019 creating barriers for L.G.B.T.Q+ people in health insurance, work environments, court systems...well you know what you did I won't list it all lest you think it's somehow praise.

Then when a cop killed a black man in cold blood choking the life of him with his knee you praised the cop and all cops, while denouncing anyone who chose to protest against it as "un-american".

Year after year both your horrifying statements on twitter, and the acts of your M.A.G.A cult followers increased in insanity and ignorance. Your inability to form a coherent sentence made it impossible for me to even hear you speak to try to assess what potential threat my family may next face.

March 2020 Hit and along with it the existence of the COVID-19 viral infection was finally exposed to the country after you tried to hide it from us. Then when you had the opportunity to address the country about this potential pandemic all you did was create more racism and xenophobia along with sharing insanely false facts about the virus, how to treat it and its potential mortality rate. Time and again you mislead the country on the necessity to wear a mask refusing to wear one yourself and claiming that medical professionals, with more intellect in their little finger than you have in your entire bloodline, were the ones misleading us all.

Due to your inability to effectively respond to the potential viral spread over 300,000 lives have been lost, and thousands of lives are permanently changed with either loss of loved ones or persistent illness for those who 'survived' having caught the virus.

Funny story you even caught the virus and yet thanks to having the financial and political status you hold you were 'cured' fairly fast and seem to hold no remaining illness which of course you touted as meaning the virus that had killed over 200,000 people before you finally caught it, was basically harmless if you're able to truck through with medical assistance. Utterly ridiculous.

You had been impeached by the House, you lost the popular vote in the first place, over and again the image of the post turtle came to my mind. You were never meant to be President, you have no idea what you're doing, and I have no idea why anyone thought it was a good idea to put you in that position. Thankfully in 2020 my vote and millions of others finally mattered YOU LOST AGAIN.

This time, you lost so badly your own party is done with you, you have been impeached a second time by the House as of this day(1/15/2021) and likely the Senate will follow suit.

At the end of the day I know none of this matters to you, this was all one big publicity stunt to put your name in everyone's mouth, which is why it won't be said by mine. I just hope you read this last paragraph:

You will forever be known as poor, you have no value, no worth, nothing to bring to society that improves any aspect of the United States of America. You in no way were capable of Making America Great Again, it never was great to begin with however you managed to make a mockery of any minute aspect of greatness it may have held before you held office. You will forever be remembered as a failure despite the small following you still hold with some people. Your legacy is one of hatred and will be regaled with stories about Nazi and racists shamefully as a warning of why it is important to know who is being voted into the Presidency.

You sir. Are a post turtle.

Sincerely,

Someone who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020 because you were never an option and never should have been on the ballot to begin with.
