    This. I felt so betrayed by who was on the ballot that I changed my political party to Green Party, voted for Jill Stein, took a job near a hippy little town in the woods, moved my kids, told them we were cutting off corporate America and changing our diets…only to eventually lose my house in foreclosure after not being able to provide on one income, with an unemployed spouse. I’d like to just say that it’s tough being new in a small town, but that wasn’t it. America f_cked my family over so bad in 2016, and politics/the election were just the tip of the iceberg of it all.
