Waking up in “Day 6 of Trump America” hurts just as much as Day 1. The grief, the mourning, the tears and the anger come in waves…swelling in the shallows while we wade and wallow, and crash into the rocks (and our tear ducts) that we thought America’s foundation was laid upon. With each new tide, we’re left feeling crumbled, drowning in pools of anxiety, riddled with anger, and numb to the sobering reality that this is the direction our country has decided to drive her ship towards.
I, along with 8K-10K (plus) protestors (peaceful, I might add! Literally the LAPD were shaking protestors hands) marched from MacArthur Park to the Federal Buidling in DTLA because we don’t accept this reality. Not because we’re “poor sports” or “whining losers,” but because 1) we won’t call him our president (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named), and 2) we are afraid for our lives.
Overcome with pride in our strength in numbers, I couldn’t help but feel saddened and defeated at the end of the march. I wish this energy had gone into Election day. I wish more than 53% of our country voted. I wish people I love deeply wouldn’t belittle my fears, why I protest, and let’s be real: voted for him. He’s LITERALLY building a team of death eaters. How can you not see this? Trying to find solace off my political activism, I watched the final Harry Potters for the umpteenth time and once consumed by the magic of it all, it’s almost like watching a horror movie now because the similarities are just too much to wrap my head around. Check out my breakdown and see if you’ll still be asking me why I’m afraid.
Trump aka He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
Don’t tell me I’m over-reacting. I don’t give a shit if he’s “America’s biggest stunt queen,” he bore open this Hellmouth of hate and gave people (death eaters) the “freedom” to demonstrate extreme acts of racist, islamaphobic, and homophobic violence towards others in under a week’s time.
This is what y’all Trump voters let happen on Tuesday night by the way:
TERRIFYING.
*Honorable mention: I WAS going to say Trump was Peter Pettigrew because (well, duh):
But I didn’t want to mince my literary options (don’t worry, I’ve got a good one for KellyAnne). And because “Trump” now symbolizes the hate that has been awoken in America, he HAS to be Voldemort.
Pence aka Bellatrix
Yes, I’m comparing this “nasty witch” to Pence because every time her name popped up in the books, I would get black out rage. She was Voldemort’s most loyal servant, escaped Azkaban and spat her pure-blood rhetoric as if it was considered normal. Pence is the most dangerous anti-LGBT politician in history. He wants to repeal gay marriage, fine and charge gay married couples for up to 18 months in prison, stop funding HIV and AIDS prevention and research, and use tax money to send gays to conversation therapy camps to “pray the gay away.”
I ACTUALLY. CAN’T. EVEN.
If Pence feels this way about LGBTQ people, does this look so far from fiction anymore?:
Let’s pray that this fucker ends up like Bellatrix. Calling on Molly!
Melania Trump aka Nagini
I mean, do I have to say more?
KellyAnne Conway aka Dolores Umbridge
This little troll (which one, amirite?), KellyAnne Conway made a statement today that anti-Trump supporters “better watch what you say.” Hmm…abusing people’s fear with more fear? HOW LOGICAL. She’s Dolores Umbridge because Umbridge built her career on fear, hating Muggle-born wizards and witches, and believed wholeheartedly in the Ministry’s slogan at the time “you have nothing to fear, as long as you have nothing to hide.”
Let’s hope she ends up in the Forbidden Forest!
Bannon is Grindelwald
Gellert Grindelwald was considered one of the most dangerous dark wizards of all time. He lead a Wizarding revolution to end the International Statute of Secrecy and creating a benevolent global order led by powerful witches and wizards to dominate Muggles. Grindelwald stole the Elder wand (the most powerful wand in the world) to cheat death and abuse the power that he was drunk off of. How fitting? Bannon was just named Trump’s White House Chief Strategist and he is one of the most notorious anti-semites. We should all be very afraid.
Let’s hope he ends up in Azkaban like Grindelwald:
Trump Supporters Who Say “Stop Protesting Because You Lost” aka Malfoy Manor
Don’t tell me how I’m suppose to act right now!!! Are you fucking kidding me?! I’m allowed to exercise my right to use my voice when I don’t agree with something. You have to have some “pure-blood privilege” to criticize ANYBODY peacefully protesting out of fear for their lives/rights. Shame on you.
Hillary Supporters and Anti-Trump Protesters aka Dumbledore’s Army
The minute Harry appears back at Hogwarts before the final battle…it gave Dumbledore’s Army a symbol of hope. Clinton gave her concession speech and now it’s our time to rise up. Show minorities that you care. Get involved. Support organizations that believe in the future we all thought we would wake up to this past Wednesday.
In the words of Dumbledore, “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times. If one only remembers to turn on the light.”
I’ll leave you with this, now that shit has truly turned into the final Harry Potter book, are you going to stand on the side of GOOD…
Or EVIL?…
