I've been thinking a lot about this "wish him well" insistance, and it's starting to feel toxic. Many people have been abused and traumatized by this regime. Asking people to wish their abuser well is further traumatizing. 1/x

One thing I appreciate about this from my parasocial Rabbi is the answer is not to look to a bigger picture. I can pray for the end of the pandemic without wishing my abuser well. 2/x https://twitter.com/TheRaDR/status/1312027833741520896?s=20

I can pray for the well being of the United States because Trump's death in this moment might cause greater damage without wishing him well. 3/x

But, no one is obligated to hope the President recovers. Or wish him well. And no one should be shamed for not shing their abuser well. It's a cruel and unrealistic burden. 4/4
