Today, after working to elect a Democratic governor who campaigned on "affordability" instead of a MAGA nut job, she's immediately signed off on dozens of new taxes and removed mandatory minimum sentencing requirements for violent crimes. This isn't what I voted for! FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I watched as one of the few US governors willing to resist Donald Trump's ICE (aka Gestapo) rolled over and surrendered, letting the cops ransack protests with impunity. I feel sick. I tried to buy a gun but was denied because of mental health. FML
Today, my 30 year-old daughter was fired from her job for bad hygiene, despite getting multiple warnings and write ups. She says she’s not showering to save money, and this “inflation shit is out of control.” According to her, me and the “Demoncrats voted for it” and made it this way. FML
Today, and over the past few weeks, my mom has cried, ranted, and posted unhinged TikToks, more than when my sister was almost killed in the meadow behind our house by a drunken hunter, all this because her favorite 'politician' has "unfairly" been indicted several times. FML
Today, I found out that my sister is one of those people who thought that "Obamacare" and "The Affordable Care Act" were two different things, and now my niece's health is no longer going to be covered due to upcoming cutbacks. Guess who my sister voted for? FML
Today, I learned a state senator is pushing a law to prosecute women for murder if they have an abortion, even out of state. Miscarriages would be investigated for aggravated assault, and if deemed unintentional, life insurance benefits would still be denied. I fear for the women in my county. FML
Today, I was uninvited to our usual family Thanksgiving, as well as the rest of the holidays with my extended family. Why? They found out who I voted for. I won't say who, but according to my aunt, I'm to blame for putting their son's healthcare at risk. WTF? FML
Today, my father said I only voted for Biden "because I watch the news." He's a hardcore Trumpster. FML
Today, I got the news that the family who adopted me decided to send me back because I didn't share their MAGA ideals. This is the second family to send me back after the first one decided they couldn't financially take care of me. FML
Today, it was the elections for Student Council President. I decided to be nice and vote for the only other competitor because it was her birthday. I lost by one vote. FML
Today, my country’s congress failed on key legislation for social supports, voting rights and climate change. Thus probably dooming our democracy, our planet, and our species. Society may collapse within my lifetime. I don’t know how to protect my loved ones, nor how to process my grief and fear. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How can you tell when a politician is lying? They're speaking. By her actions, it seems she was secretly MAGA. I'm sorry, OP.

Welcome to politics. They lie to get your votes, then turn around and do whatever they want once elected. It doesn't matter what their political party is. They're all corrupt.

What did you think was going to happen with a Dem-led General Assembly, genius? You actually believed the campaign rhetoric! You got *exactly* what you voted for, and you're going to get it good and hard.

Certainly you must know by now that democrats are the Pro-Crime party. Of course they want violent offenders on the street so they can vote democrat.

"signed off on dozens of new taxes and removed mandatory minimum sentencing requirements for violent crimes" is MAGA? In what world? No, the new Gov just reverted to form after the election to join where her party and leftist base were already leading to. Just as they promised. All you had to do was pay attention. But no, she ran against Trump, who wasn't on the ballot, and that was good enough. Now you're stuck eating the entire package of far left unified government, and you'll get the same sad results: high taxes, coddled criminals, out of control social spending without visible results, and trampled Constitutional rights for everyone except criminals.
