I’m so scared…

I’m from a small central European country called Austria. We recently had elections for our EU representative. Sadly, the HEAVILY conservative party (formerly the same party that Hitler was in) won.

Literally all that they want to do is just objectively wrong - from ignoring climate change to leaving the EU, and that’s not even mentioning their views on us queer folk.

Seeing as how this election turned out, I’m so incredibly scared of the next one (nationalratswahl) because, if they get elected there too, they can cause some serious damage to Austria/us. I’m actually so scared that I feel the need to kinda rush my transition now (mainly meaning legal name/gender change).

I actually genuinely feel ashamed living here sometimes. And yes, I am thinking of leaving the country if it gets worse but it’s really not that easy for me currently…

I’m sorry for the rant but I’m just incredibly scared about my safety here in the future. I also don’t have any other place to rant this to ;-;
