I understand that you are going through a tough time. Your boyfriend was a jerk. Granted.
But surely your entire existence on this planet is not defined by your boyfriend. I refuse to believe that about someone smart enough to be a Democrat!
Give yourself a bit of time, and then sit down and have a serious talk with yourself. Remind yourself of the assets and qualities that you, the individual, have. The gifts, the talents, the flaws and the sins. Be completely honest with yourself. Then forget the flaws and the sins and concentrate and the talents and the gifts. Put those talents and gifts to good use.
Your first priority must be to love yourself. You deserve that!
Then, if and when you are ready, you can consider another relationship.
