Hey. Let me tell you all something about narcissistic abuse and gaslighting and recovery.
Your brain is going to try its damndest to make you forget the last 4 years. Thinking of this in the past tense is going to be ENORMOUSLY PAINFUL. You are going to distrust your memory.

Your brain will do a LOT to protect you from the abuse you endured. Things you didn't know were possible.
But.
If you allow your brain to forget, it can happen again.

I would strongly suggest therapy if you have access to it, but if not, my inbox and DMs are always open.
The hardest part is the next part - which is No Contact. Trump is gone, we don't have to think about him anymore, but our brains will feel very uneasy about this.

You are not going to feel normal for a while. And that's okay. Things are still NOT normal. It will take a very long time to heal. But trust me, healing is possible. We're going to be okay.
But we can never fucking let this happen ever again.

I would do some reading about C-PTSD and narcissistic abuse recovery.
The Raised by Narcissists subreddit is an incredible resource. It saved my ass when I needed it.

You are going to be okay. We are all going to heal together. But never ever ever EVER question how horrible this was. It was absolutely the worst.
You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. You did not imagine it.
Trump and his people were wrong. They lied to us constantly and made our lives unbearable. But we got through it. Like I got through my childhood.
And I'm a stronger, better person now.

That is not to say I'm "better". Some things in life are indelible. But like scars, they will fade.
Don't forget. Don't let it happen again.
And fuck Nazis.
