As someone who is really grappling with the fact that my whole family voted for him and I feel lost alone. This really helped me not feel so alone. Thank you.
Respect you for being so open about this stuff. A lot of people in your position wouldn’t be. Going to be a bad few years, but things can change quickly, just have to stay engaged and hopeful.
Why is it going to be bad? I haven’t followed the election closely. I just got tired of seeing everyone fight on social media I just tuned it all out. The fighting has stopped, now it’s all these other things.
I can't believe that Trump got voted back in. I live in Australia and here you have to get a police clearance to work in the Govt...so for Trump to be allowed to become President just blows my mind. I just don't know what to say. Don't apologise for being angry, you have every right to be. America is supposed to be the land of the free, and now you have a man in charge that wants to strip individuals freedom of choice away from them.
This is putting to light feelings that people have been feeling for YEARS. We’ve been tired. Thank you for speaking up. We love you. Stay grounded, stay aware. Liberation for all is here. Politicians don’t care. We are powerful in community. Don’t stop overreacting.
I am so sorry to all the women, LGBT people, poor, black, Latino, immigrants, Democrats, Republicans and the middle class people in The United States Of America. Wishing you all the best and I am so sorry for the dark times ahead…
Agree with everything you said except for feeling sorry for the republicans. Don't feel sorry for the republicans. Republicans are the one who put us in this mess.
My first thought was thank god I have a son :[ Second was god damn why is my birthday today >.< lol I felt like I have a little black cloud over my head. Thank you for speaking up
As a gen Z Latina that voted for Kamala, I have never in my life felt so incredibly angry and embarrassed by my own Hispanic community for voting for that man and for giving him the power to continue to be openly racist to us, in a way that it will largely impact our community now more than ever. I’m a daughter of immigrant parents and my brother is a DACA recipient so yeah it feels like, as Taylor swift said, “death by a thousand cuts” 😣😣. Trying my hardest to be optimistic but yeah I don’t think I can be
I live in Tx. I’m surrounded by the worst of those responsible for this. The ones shooting guns and claiming god chose the man who literally embodies every villain we’ve ever seen. Even in populated blue cities these people are there spreading their bs… and clearly it’s working. The genuine fear and anger I have for my trans son & myself as a woman is immeasurable rn. I’m right there with you realizing good does not always prevail and I’m very fucking angry about it. I too will be insufferable for the foreseeable future.
Gril, yes. I've been driving myself insane trying to understand and comprehend the people who have voted for him. How we lost this election. Especially with all the comments that have been made, and the illegal activity on his side. And after everything that has been brought to light about him. It's mind-blowing. I think a lot of people are followers, and just get swept up in what they are around, and any younger people who have grown up in a super conservative household. Stay strong though, History does not stop, and as long as we all stick together and do what we can, hopefully we can make it through all of this.
Those protesters were on my daughters college campus. Apparently they were just protestors and not students according to the letter from the college president
I’m in Canada but when I saw the results at 1am I still cried. It’s a wave of hatred and extremism that I fear is bleeding in to most of the world and I am so scared for minorities, myself as a woman, and my baby daughter I had the hope to bring in to this world. That hope is now replaced by guilt and despair. Anyway, thankyou for posting and talking about this, it helps to feel less alone and less like I’m being crazy and dramatic like maga men keep saying ❤
Speaking as a minority, please do not patronize us, we are not weak Fs waiting to be victimized. We have went through more sufferings than a mean president. So demeaning, you racist F. Dumb Fs from the left worries me more than racist on right. Racist on right will spend his lives in isolation in remote village but Woke racist in left will be in colleges and teach my children to hate my neighbours because of their heritage and skin colour, instead to teaching youth to judge a person for their action like MLK said.
I’m 49, from Canada and I’ve followed you since the beginning. Obviously the world was watching but I couldn’t. It actually took me a couple of days to deal with the results and watch your video, specifically. When I woke up to the news, I thought of all the strong women I follow who are in the USA and how it affected you all. I don’t think you are overreacting…I have 3 daughters. I don’t have any answers so I’ll tell you what I told them…. AlsoI know today sucks for womankind. It’s an incredible setback for everyone . Not just for the US. I’m still processing it myself. I think I’m in shock. So let me add a little bit of hope. Now we have millions of women who are in shock. But not for long. When the shock wears off, the anger will set in. I’m excited to discover new, strong and brilliant women who have had enough. This doesn’t mean today wasn’t the worst day in history for women…cause it is.
I live in Oregon and am around a lot of conservative types for work. I’m pretty independent so if that bothers you then there’s not much to say. But what are the safety concerns that are weighing on you? Once again, not a trump guy, but that doesn’t mean I don’t see over dramatization from both sides. I attended Evergreen State awhile back, before it became a widespread known school, and while there I learned a certain things. One of which, extreme liberal types can be just as tumultuous as the people they lambasted. I was in a pretty liberal progressive non denominational Christian fellowship. Open to all sorts of people. Three years after starting there, I took a break from school and moved out of Olympia. I was disenfranchised with religion and with the extreme liberal students on campus. In my experience, neither group was very welcoming past the superficial level. Neither were really walking the walk. They were judging others who weren’t like them. Those three years taught me a lot. Specifically to be weary of any extremism. But in regard to the common day worries, is it the fear of outlawing abortion? I’ve seen conflicting things to say that he will vote to keep it legal in some states. Outside of that, what are the other concerns as far as policy goes, not personality. I’ve spent a lot of time with both extreme sides, not just visiting family once a year, so I feel like I have a good grasp on the b.s. both sides fling.
Literally crying watching your vlog! I’ve been so upset and angry all week and it’s been so hard that most of my family supports that man and now I just can’t stop thinking about how to handle certain relationships with people moving forward, with holidays coming up. I almost just feel numb now. Anyway, thank you for posting! Thank you for sharing your feelings! It helps to know that other people are feeling as devastated as I am. ❤️🩹
I've cried a lot this week too. At 52, I have seen elections go the way I wanted and not go the way I wanted, but this is on a different level entirely. It is honestly horrifying.
I feel ya bestie the world is corrupt but us good people gotta atick together and and i still blame him for the pandemic too i agree with you bestie on everything I felt weird the day after!
The handmaids tale part was pretty funny lol. I was like oh yeah the red outfit then I realized you meant the hat and I was like ???? Then u said u dk and I was like ok that checks out
Policies aside. People actually see him as a leader with the way he carries himself? The way he talks? With all those name calling and violent threat? High school presidential candidates have way more decorum than him.
This is my exact reaction. I couldn’t believe it. It hasn’t even set fully in. I hate that this is where we are as a society. But together, we will get through it. Even if today feels like the end (and it damn well might be) we have each other!
I stopped by my parents the day after and immediately got the ‘oh your rights aren’t being taken you life in California you’re fine’. I had to just walk out. It’s so sad to see people you love not give a shit about anyone else BUT themselves. Sending you all love, and I’m just so sorry for all of us. We deserve so much better.🖤
5:12 Lolololol was going to say oh look Carl is in bed again 😂😂😂😂 listen after this week you can lay in bed all you want girl 💜 take yo time feel all those feelings nervous about the future but hopeful in the fact that we made it through before. He did a lot of change last term and many things were reversed or changed once he left office. Hoping we can make these next 4 and he doesn't absolutely lose his mind 🫠🙃🫣
The real question is: what do you think will happen when they abolish the department of education? Because that what their plan is. All federal funding will be taken away from public schools and be sent to private, Christian, and charter schools. Project 2025 is available online for all to read. Educate yourself on what they WILL be doing to restrict rights/privileges for all but the billionaires and Christian Nationalists.
The U.S. Department of Education oversees federal education policy, provides funding for schools, and enforces federal laws on education. Its main goals are to ensure equal access to education, improve the quality of education, and support educational research. It manages federal financial aid programs for college students, collects data on schools, and sets national education standards and initiatives. Although it plays an influential role, much of the control over education remains with state and local governments. Is that good?
Thank you for this vlog. Your thoughts, feelings, and disgust over the election are exactly what me and so many people are feeling. I also live in California and have always hated political parties. Even though I’m registered non-partisan, I’m so thankful to have a Democratic governor who is preparing the state for damage control with the next administration.
Carly I’m a boomer and I have been so sad that I’ve been crying too . I’m retired they want to take my social security away from us. Money we worked hard for. They want get rid the educational system. And women’s rights don’t get me started 😢. The next 4 years will be hell but my only consolation is that what all of the things the republicans voted for they are in the same boat. So they will suffer with us
Is there even any money left in social security? My dad told me in the 80’s that I can’t rely on that for retirement or I’ll be eating cat food in my old age. So I never included that in my retirement portfolio. 🥺
I feel the same. I’m trying to find some way to be optimistic, and for me, staying off twitter (so I don’t doomscroll) is helping, but at the end of the day, it’s upsetting that the majority of people, it seems, would rather have this awful man as president rather than Kamala. It’s scary how hateful people still are. I keep hoping maybe one day it’ll change.
I bailed on Twitter long ago, it's just never good over there. My Threads algorithm is like 90% positive Swiftie stuff now but even it was too stressful that I haven't been on much. Tiktok and Instagram have been saviors because I've managed to tailor a lot of those feeds into just cute animals and adorable piglets running through leaves has been a lifesaver.
There are children and women dying in Gaza and Lebanon right now, why arent u sympathizing with that situation ? Transexuals are going to survive dont worry, but babies in Gaza arent !!!
Let me guess. Did you vote for Trump or not vote at all, thinking that a vote for Kamala was a vote for genocide? Hate to break it to you but Kamala was our best chance at stopping the genocide in Gaza. With Trump in office, we’ll soon have our own genocide in the US. Remember, this is exactly what Germany looked in the 1920s
FYI, it’s possible to care about and have empathy towards more than one thing at a time!! Also, fighting for Gaza under a fascist government isn’t possible especially one where the newly elected president is taking back door deals and hundreds of millions of dollars to keep the war going!
love you Carl, this sucks so bad. there’s no such thing as overreacting that’s just a thing people say to control and manipulate our reactions. our feelings are valid and not up for debate!! ❤
This one really hurt. All day at work the day of the election my coworkers and I were hoping, praying, manifesting, and *feeling* that we were going to go to sleep that night and wake up to the announcement of our first female president. I was so hopeful all day and I shot out of bed at 3:50am with an awful gut feeling. I checked my phone and when I saw he was about to win I felt sick and everything around me felt off. I'm still not back to normal. I feel betrayed by my country, by my neighbors who I would do anything for who stuck his signs in their front yard the day he was elected. I live in Florida and seeing the hatred continue to spread around me hurts. My mom is still crying. She's crying for ME. We are all hurting, we are not overreacting.
I think your feelings and reactions are not at all an overreaction, i think there's a lot of people that have shut themselves off from empathy and can't understand what it even looks like anymore :( Also, I looked at the ingredients for your licorice and it has licorice extract in it so...hopefully it was just a bad mixing job on the batch you got before but it might be a dice roll every time, tragic!
thank you carly, i heavily relate to everything you said. i was crying all of wednesday and now all i can feel is anger. kamala and tim made me so hopeful, i genuinely thought they were going to win, they worked so hard for us and america failed them. i thought that being held liable for SA and inciting an insurrection would be a deal breaker but unfortunately america still hates women especially women of color, no matter how qualified you are. i'm a college student and an education major so the possibility of him getting rid of the department of education scares me. his economic plan is going to send us into a recession and i better not see any of his supporters complaining. i hope we can somehow make it through these next four years.
People will sell, or stop buying Teslas about the same time as all the celebs who said they were gonna leave the U.S actually leave 😂 sell your Tesla, stop buying them, leave the U.S..it changes nothing and nobody cares.
@@BeatBluntedpeople were just venting to feel better. It’s a hassle to pick up and leave the country. All the people who wanted to move to Canada realized they can’t afford to or they don’t qualify too. Canada doesn’t let just anyone live there. They have requirements to make sure you’re a contributing member of society and not a burden to their economy.
We love you so much Carl ❤ tysm for pushing through 🫶🏻 Please post Wednesday because I have to get a Colposcopy that day and really need to be distracted 🥲
I'm sry that u feel that way but have u really thought of what is going on in this country not bc of race or gender but have u really thought of what's going on after two different president elections where it was 30 decades ago
It sucks so bad. I live in a red state and I still get out and vote blue, but every time my state goes red it still hurts. This was my third time voting against this shitty excuse for a man. I found comfort in my friends at work this week and my bf who are also as distraught, we can only do so much but it’s nice to know we’re not alone. You’re not alone in caring for other people. My old boss at a small business would call me a communist when I talked about politics. I just want people to be safe and have food and healthcare idk. In the smallest bit of good news, my state did pass an amendment for abortion rights and reproductive healthcare. My mind is just blown at people’s ability to overlook so many awful things. Just mind boggled.
I’m in my 50’s too and agree with you and Carly. My mom said, “I have seen blacks, women, and the lgbtq fight once in my life and over night I’m going to have to relive it.” She said she remembered when she divorced my father women weren’t allowed to have credit cards in their own name. I think they underestimate us women now.
my heart has been so heavy. it’s hard to live in a house with people who don’t understand and tell me i’m taking this too personally. i’m at least so lucky and fortunate to have other people in my life who share the same sense of empathy and compassion for the people that this will deeply effect. i’m looking forward to the good influences ep on tuesday and knowing you guys are a part of the “we made the right people famous” group 💙
I’m so sorry you have to live in a house with people who don’t understand you or think you’re overreacting. I blocked and removed family members in 2016 and this year I blocked and cut more out of my life. They’ve affected so many people. Stay strong
I’m a teacher and I am so scared for my students and their futures. Removing the department of education would dissolve my job for my low income students.
My comfort creator 💙 Thank you for being vocal on your platform. I live in Kansas and I am sooo scared for myself and my friends around me. 😢 I felt helpless, now the anger and the fight keeps going 💙👏
I also live in kansas. I'm not for him.. But the general publics life didn't change last time and prolly wont this time. Our state is backwards on many many things, the president really doesn't change that stuff. Crazy how we are surrounded by legal weed states and we just sit here... Then our liquor laws are of prohibition era. Then our local wichita mayor is being investigated on some charges. I know it sucks but it starts at a local level and state level. so many things here need changing but the president either blue or red wont help us
I live in the UK but my heart broke for you all when the results were announced. Plus even here it will have an impact because it gives people more confidence to have opinions similar to Trump and make those people louder. As they say, no woman is free until all women are free and this week has just been horrible for women with the election result in the US and for Afghan women
1000% agree. I commented on the Good Influences video on Wednesday saying how heartbroken I was and someone replied to me saying they voted for Trump bc they didn’t want their rights taken away. The cognitive dissonance is real.
It's been a very heavy week. I live in a red state, and am so scared of what the world is going to come to. Thank you for always being a safe space for us 🤍🤍
He wants to be a dictator. Convicted of 34 felonies yet if you're a felon, you can't vote. Commited sexual assault yet women still support him. It's disgusting, and I'm terrified of him. Upset is an understatement 😔
Sorry for the double comment, but I've been SO into all of this. I really feel like, moving forward, it would be such a good idea to create a large community chat, and or group, for everyone who feels in danger or might possibly be worried about it all. Think of it, if all of our rights are going to end, in terms of what trump has planned, we really need to fight back. And I really believe the best way to keep up with it all is to stick together, and spread the awareness and word as it comes to light. Not have to rely on hopefully seeing the updates in laws and things in passing. It's so hard to get a lot of people together though.
I love you Carly. You spoke exactly what I am feeling. Thank you for always being a safe space
As someone who is really grappling with the fact that my whole family voted for him and I feel lost alone. This really helped me not feel so alone. Thank you.
I'm so pissed too. It comes in waves. You are so valid. That man doesn't even care about the people who elected him. They are pawns to him.
💙
Respect you for being so open about this stuff. A lot of people in your position wouldn’t be. Going to be a bad few years, but things can change quickly, just have to stay engaged and hopeful.
Why is it going to be bad? I haven’t followed the election closely. I just got tired of seeing everyone fight on social media I just tuned it all out. The fighting has stopped, now it’s all these other things.
my comfort influencer for a reason!!!
I loved your courage on instagram when you said you may lose a lot of followers bestie but it makes me happy to not be alone about the election
I feel so very similar, in every way. I am still in shock. My chest is very heavy and it is a true heartbreak.
never calm down
I can't believe that Trump got voted back in. I live in Australia and here you have to get a police clearance to work in the Govt...so for Trump to be allowed to become President just blows my mind. I just don't know what to say. Don't apologise for being angry, you have every right to be. America is supposed to be the land of the free, and now you have a man in charge that wants to strip individuals freedom of choice away from them.
thank you for this, I'm terrified, disgusted, and so so angry.
This is putting to light feelings that people have been feeling for YEARS. We’ve been tired.
Thank you for speaking up. We love you.
Stay grounded, stay aware. Liberation for all is here. Politicians don’t care. We are powerful in community. Don’t stop overreacting.
I’ve been so mad at the country this week still working on the calm down ❤wish the country cared about each other more
I’ve been so upset. I live in Alabama, I feel like I’m surrounded by idiots.
come live w me lol
me but in tx, ugh. hate it here.
I am so sorry to all the women, LGBT people, poor, black, Latino, immigrants, Democrats, Republicans and the middle class people in The United States Of America. Wishing you all the best and I am so sorry for the dark times ahead…
Agree with everything you said except for feeling sorry for the republicans. Don't feel sorry for the republicans. Republicans are the one who put us in this mess.
My first thought was thank god I have a son :[ Second was god damn why is my birthday today >.< lol I felt like I have a little black cloud over my head. Thank you for speaking up

Trying my hardest to be optimistic but yeah I don’t think I can be
I’m a Latino who voted for Trump, even if Biden didn’t drop I’d still vote for ANYONE but Trump as he’s hated us since his campaign’s inception.
thank you for making this video 💖
love you
I am so sso Carly, sending love to all people in US right now... stay strong
I live in Tx. I’m surrounded by the worst of those responsible for this. The ones shooting guns and claiming god chose the man who literally embodies every villain we’ve ever seen.

Same girl, hugs💙
Those protesters were on my daughters college campus. Apparently they were just protestors and not students according to the letter from the college president
THANK YOU for this. This week has sucked and having people with a platform be real with the same feelings I’m feeling is so helpful
This is why you are my fave bestie you get it sending love to you and erin!

Preach it girl. I agree 1000% and it makes me so fuckin pissed. Lord help us all!
truly what a privilege it is to not be affected by a Trump presidency. Looking at Corinna and all the other flops in our society.
I’m 49, from Canada and I’ve followed you since the beginning. Obviously the world was watching but I couldn’t. It actually took me a couple of days to deal with the results and watch your video, specifically. When I woke up to the news, I thought of all the strong women I follow who are in the USA and how it affected you all. I don’t think you are overreacting…I have 3 daughters.

So let me add a little bit of hope.
Now we have millions of women who are in shock. But not for long. When the shock wears off, the anger will set in.
I’m excited to discover new, strong and brilliant women who have had enough.
This doesn’t mean today wasn’t the worst day in history for women…cause it is.
Thank you for sharing Carly 💗
Trump is truly the SMALLEST MAN! The lyric YOU DESERVE PRISON BUT YOU WONT GET TIME!!!!! hits so hard 😢😢😢
Incontro 2028

We are going to be okay ❤

THANK YOU
massively feel the same way... i see you 💙💙💙💙
Thank you for sharing your voice

What do you think the federal Department of Education does?
The real question is: what do you think will happen when they abolish the department of education? Because that what their plan is. All federal funding will be taken away from public schools and be sent to private, Christian, and charter schools. Project 2025 is available online for all to read.

I go to the school where that happed! Omg it was crazy but the police took them away! And they’re grown men on a college campus like!!!!!
omg whaaaat
@ ya! I was in class when videos were coming out. And the police took them away because students were harassing the men as they should!
I feel the same. I’m trying to find some way to be optimistic, and for me, staying off twitter (so I don’t doomscroll) is helping, but at the end of the day, it’s upsetting that the majority of people, it seems, would rather have this awful man as president rather than Kamala. It’s scary how hateful people still are. I keep hoping maybe one day it’ll change.
I bailed on Twitter long ago, it's just never good over there. My Threads algorithm is like 90% positive Swiftie stuff now but even it was too stressful that I haven't been on much. Tiktok and Instagram have been saviors because I've managed to tailor a lot of those feeds into just cute animals and adorable piglets running through leaves has been a lifesaver.
Love you for this Carly! Try and remember half of the country feels the same way you and I do! We can’t give up! ✌️
Thankful for all the creators I follow that show they care about LGBTQ and Trans rights as a trans man
There are children and women dying in Gaza and Lebanon right now, why arent u sympathizing with that situation ?
Transexuals are going to survive dont worry, but babies in Gaza arent !!!
Let me guess. Did you vote for Trump or not vote at all, thinking that a vote for Kamala was a vote for genocide? Hate to break it to you but Kamala was our best chance at stopping the genocide in Gaza. With Trump in office, we’ll soon have our own genocide in the US. Remember, this is exactly what Germany looked in the 1920s
FYI, it’s possible to care about and have empathy towards more than one thing at a time!! Also, fighting for Gaza under a fascist government isn’t possible especially one where the newly elected president is taking back door deals and hundreds of millions of dollars to keep the war going!
love you Carl, this sucks so bad. there’s no such thing as overreacting that’s just a thing people say to control and manipulate our reactions. our feelings are valid and not up for debate!! ❤
This one really hurt. All day at work the day of the election my coworkers and I were hoping, praying, manifesting, and *feeling* that we were going to go to sleep that night and wake up to the announcement of our first female president. I was so hopeful all day and I shot out of bed at 3:50am with an awful gut feeling. I checked my phone and when I saw he was about to win I felt sick and everything around me felt off. I'm still not back to normal. I feel betrayed by my country, by my neighbors who I would do anything for who stuck his signs in their front yard the day he was elected. I live in Florida and seeing the hatred continue to spread around me hurts. My mom is still crying. She's crying for ME. We are all hurting, we are not overreacting.
Thank you Carly for speaking what so many of us are feeling. It is so hard to find the words. This about morals not political views.
I think your feelings and reactions are not at all an overreaction, i think there's a lot of people that have shut themselves off from empathy and can't understand what it even looks like anymore :( Also, I looked at the ingredients for your licorice and it has licorice extract in it so...hopefully it was just a bad mixing job on the batch you got before but it might be a dice roll every time, tragic!
This felt like venting with a bestie on FaceTime. I feel this so deeply in the same way.
love you
Don't worry Habibi everything will be fine 👍
thank you carly, i heavily relate to everything you said. i was crying all of wednesday and now all i can feel is anger. kamala and tim made me so hopeful, i genuinely thought they were going to win, they worked so hard for us and america failed them. i thought that being held liable for SA and inciting an insurrection would be a deal breaker but unfortunately america still hates women especially women of color, no matter how qualified you are. i'm a college student and an education major so the possibility of him getting rid of the department of education scares me. his economic plan is going to send us into a recession and i better not see any of his supporters complaining. i hope we can somehow make it through these next four years.
same..i just feel so angry now I have no idea what to do with it lol
Right there with ya 💜
💙💙💙
As a Latino man I’m so disappointed in my peers for lacking empathy and I thank you for being open about your stance. You are so real for that! 🙂↕️
sell the tesla
literally
@@carlyincontro for real, there's like 10 better options
@@Jokalido i know i really like the rivians
People will sell, or stop buying Teslas about the same time as all the celebs who said they were gonna leave the U.S actually leave 😂 sell your Tesla, stop buying them, leave the U.S..it changes nothing and nobody cares.
@@BeatBluntedpeople were just venting to feel better. It’s a hassle to pick up and leave the country. All the people who wanted to move to Canada realized they can’t afford to or they don’t qualify too. Canada doesn’t let just anyone live there. They have requirements to make sure you’re a contributing member of society and not a burden to their economy.
We love you so much Carl ❤ tysm for pushing through 🫶🏻 Please post Wednesday because I have to get a Colposcopy that day and really need to be distracted 🥲
oh my ok i’ll post for ur colon 💙
@@carlyincontro😂
@@carlyincontro OMG I love you it's a colposcopy so they take biopsies of my cervix 😭😭😭
I love you Carly!
I'm sry that u feel that way but have u really thought of what is going on in this country not bc of race or gender but have u really thought of what's going on after two different president elections where it was 30 decades ago
It sucks so bad. I live in a red state and I still get out and vote blue, but every time my state goes red it still hurts. This was my third time voting against this shitty excuse for a man. I found comfort in my friends at work this week and my bf who are also as distraught, we can only do so much but it’s nice to know we’re not alone. You’re not alone in caring for other people. My old boss at a small business would call me a communist when I talked about politics. I just want people to be safe and have food and healthcare idk. In the smallest bit of good news, my state did pass an amendment for abortion rights and reproductive healthcare. My mind is just blown at people’s ability to overlook so many awful things. Just mind boggled.
💙💙💙
All that feels worth saying, is I appreciate you speaking out. We will have to take it day by day.
Carly, I’m 53 and totally agree with you. I am so sad over this election.
I’m in my 50’s too and agree with you and Carly. My mom said, “I have seen blacks, women, and the lgbtq fight once in my life and over night I’m going to have to relive it.” She said she remembered when she divorced my father women weren’t allowed to have credit cards in their own name. I think they underestimate us women now.
💙
I'm not American nor do I live there but my heart dropped when I saw the election results 😒
❤❤❤
my heart has been so heavy. it’s hard to live in a house with people who don’t understand and tell me i’m taking this too personally. i’m at least so lucky and fortunate to have other people in my life who share the same sense of empathy and compassion for the people that this will deeply effect. i’m looking forward to the good influences ep on tuesday and knowing you guys are a part of the “we made the right people famous” group 💙
I’m so sorry you have to live in a house with people who don’t understand you or think you’re overreacting. I blocked and removed family members in 2016 and this year I blocked and cut more out of my life. They’ve affected so many people. Stay strong
I’m a teacher and I am so scared for my students and their futures. Removing the department of education would dissolve my job for my low income students.
💙
Obsessed with you

❤❤
I’m so mad, sad, disappointed, scared.

My comfort creator 💙 Thank you for being vocal on your platform. I live in Kansas and I am sooo scared for myself and my friends around me. 😢 I felt helpless, now the anger and the fight keeps going 💙👏
I also live in kansas. I'm not for him.. But the general publics life didn't change last time and prolly wont this time. Our state is backwards on many many things, the president really doesn't change that stuff. Crazy how we are surrounded by legal weed states and we just sit here... Then our liquor laws are of prohibition era. Then our local wichita mayor is being investigated on some charges.
I know it sucks but it starts at a local level and state level. so many things here need changing but the president either blue or red wont help us
@B0H0 totally agree! One of my friends ran for section 17 senate but lost 😕 We gotta keep trying and pushing forward 💙💙
Feeling very much the same. Thank you for using your platform to advocate for everything you mentioned in this vlog.
I agree with you! I'm so proud of you for everything you said! Thank you for using your platform to do so. You go girl! ♥
i felt low, defeated, and disgusted. but the fight doesn't end here though! we continue to stand up!
I live in the UK but my heart broke for you all when the results were announced. Plus even here it will have an impact because it gives people more confidence to have opinions similar to Trump and make those people louder. As they say, no woman is free until all women are free and this week has just been horrible for women with the election result in the US and for Afghan women
1000% agree. I commented on the Good Influences video on Wednesday saying how heartbroken I was and someone replied to me saying they voted for Trump bc they didn’t want their rights taken away. The cognitive dissonance is real.
Agreed.. Trump disgusting. Im feeling the same. Thank you for saying all the things I want to with your platform. Wtf is wrong with people. How?? Ugh.
I had very similar reactions/feelings. I don't even live in the USA. Get mad, stay mad and keep the bastards accountable.
It's been a very heavy week. I live in a red state, and am so scared of what the world is going to come to. Thank you for always being a safe space for us 🤍🤍
This sucks but hearing you voice similar feelings made me feel like there are a lot of people that will band together to survive 🥲
I live in canada but I can’t believe trump won!!!
He wants to be a dictator. Convicted of 34 felonies yet if you're a felon, you can't vote. Commited sexual assault yet women still support him. It's disgusting, and I'm terrified of him. Upset is an understatement 😔
Sorry for the double comment, but I've been SO into all of this. I really feel like, moving forward, it would be such a good idea to create a large community chat, and or group, for everyone who feels in danger or might possibly be worried about it all. Think of it, if all of our rights are going to end, in terms of what trump has planned, we really need to fight back. And I really believe the best way to keep up with it all is to stick together, and spread the awareness and word as it comes to light. Not have to rely on hopefully seeing the updates in laws and things in passing. It's so hard to get a lot of people together though.
