I like how accepting the world is a very dark place, where you work hard for your own points of light, helps me appreciate how dark this day is while being minimally affected emotionally. Feels to me that being more comfortable with darkness/bad luck/mortality/terror/“The bad parts about being human” (or whatever you want to call it) gives me more space and safe-environment (in mindspace) to understand how completely screwed some things are. Stay strong & Good luck ❤️
yeah, I dunno - that just sounds like detachment from the looming consequences, which can sometimes be easy (at least for me, dissociation seems to be a common coping mechanism for me) but it is unwise if it prevents you from taking the necessary actions to protect yourself.
I was in good spirits even after Pennsylvania was called for Trump early this morning, so I get it. Feeling worse after some sleep, though.
Sorry guys. I’m not American but I’m sorry for what is probably going to happen. We can only hope not
Can someone just euthanize me, it’s the human thing to do
tbh that’s just a round-about way to die (can’t call dying in a trench euthanasia, though)
I’m not a US person, but I would like to know what exactly is so bad about the trump man.
Besides looking funi and not being all that cool, did his win last time influence trans people that much?
Or is he just really pushing the anti-trans agenda harder this time?
Maybe I missed a twitter post or something, I’m just confused about why people are only now thinking of moving out.
hear it from his own mouth: President Trump’s Plan to Protect Children from “Left-Wing Gender Insanity”
Ok wow woah ok like WOW this IS BAD!!!
I thought this was part of the project 2025 (which is still not exactly confirmed to be his plan, as far as I can tell), but NO! And the comments are even worse…
I really dislike this one comment of a person saying they are a “gay guy” but left the lgbt community ever since they “talked directly to children” whiiiiich is absoulte BS.
Take a look at the Wikipedia page for Project 2025. It’s basically the Republican manifesto for everything they want to to “acomplish” now they have power. This time, Trump has the House, the Senate and the supreme court on his side so there’s nothing that can stop these plans.
I just read this german article about it and oof it scary woah
Nope I did not see the whole project 2025 thing. Imma look at it now and probably edit this comment when I’m done
Key points include classifying “transgender ideology” as pornography, banning porn and making it a sex offense, introducing the death penalty for sex offenders. All those together…
I need to get my skills up to snuff and get a new job… the idea that I will technically be working for that failure of a human being is nauseating. I refuse to be complicit.
There’s nowhere to even fucking go, half the rest of the planet is going the same direction or is otherwise semi reliant on the US
On the other hand, if all the good people give up the fight and leave it to project 2025 to find their replacement the public as a whole will be in even greater danger.
Obviously it’s not fair to expect you to put yourself in danger for everyone else, but it might just be worth considering of forms of resistance.
I’m in a hard red state, working for a branch of government that already leans fairly red (DoD). Not even being hard on myself, I am a dime a dozen IT technician that coasted into my current position. Frankly, I think I’ve wanted out for a while now, there’s just nowhere else to work in the area.
