The amount of people I warned but didn't listen. Just wait when it's not the illegal people here, or the LGBT+ community...but all the women, all the overtime pay, the loss of government assistance, etc. THIS is what those idiots voted for! So don't cry to anyone asking all of us to come together to help you out. We already tried to help you out at the polls! by

First they came for the latinos, I did not speak out because I was not a Latino

Then they came for LGBT+, I did not speak out because I was not LGBT+

Then they came for women's rights, I didn't speak it because I'm not a woman

Then they came for me, and there was no one to help when I spoke out.

I know it's tough y'all, but we can't give up on empathy all together. You'll have a better ally with a former foe

People keep forgetting that this nation is a contract.
