"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.

Former President Donald Trump’s recent announcement appointing former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has sparked intense debate, both in Washington and among the public.

Trump Taps Fox News Host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary: A Controversial Choice or Strategic Masterstroke?
Introduction The recent announcement that former President Donald Trump has selected Fox News host and former Army National Guard officer Pete Hegseth as his choice for Secretary of Defense has set the political sphere abuzz. While Hegseth is known for his military experience and outspoken political views, his nomination for such a crucial and high-stakes role raises significant questions.

Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.

Considering possibilities after the 2024 U.S. election
I used to be so pompous and sure of everything only 10 years ago. I've changed so much, anyone who knew me then probably would think I'm an imposter. Some of the changes I made for myself, and some were forced upon me. That's difficult to explain, but not necessary for the discussion I want to have about my government, my country, the election's results, and the possibilities for our future.
