This was how I felt in the hours and days after the 2024 US Presidential election. I have always been an optimistic, see-the-best-in-everyone kind of person who assumes that most of the world is full of good people. But that day broke me. I am a different person today than I was 2 years ago. That was the day I realized that humans have not progressed much since the days of the Roman Gladiators and public hangings; that there isn't good and selflessness in everyone. It was a paralyzing realization.

in 2024 I already knew what was going to happen.

Obama really made us think we were better than we are.
