I’m not a fan of but-what-about-ism. Feelings are breaking my rule tonight. My stomach churns watching people I love dearly “wait for all the facts to come out” when people that look like my son are killed, but they are ready to light their torches over alleged voter fraud,

which so far has been unfounded. I’m all for truth to come out no matter who it favors, and if something legit is exposed, we should address that. I’m not talking partisan win/lose here or saying Christians can’t vote differently, etc...that’s not the thing.

It’s utter sorrow over some people SO invested in conspiracies from a man who embodies every credible “these are the characteristics of a manipulative abusive person and these are their tactics” that I’ve ever read, buying into his every word. Only trusting HIS sources...

I feel like I’m watching them take the hand of David Koresh & tell me they’re fine, enlightened even. Even though I don’t doubt their love & intent, it’s still really hard to feel safe around them. It’s just so bizarre.But I’m truly not insulting when I say that.I’m achingly sad.

I’ve been blinded by abuse that claimed to champion me, & I know what it’s like to have no category to see the thing. I know the gut-punch of its exposure. And I don’t want any of them to have to endure that. But also, I don’t want them to harm others. And prayer is all there is.

Is there a word for THAT grief/tension that doesn’t take 6 tweets? Someone make a word for it.

Who knows if this thread will hang around, but it’s just what I needed to word-heave tonight.
