as long as they see more lgbtq and brown people getting it first, then they’ll have “won” in their minds

“Empathy is a sin”

I care about his health and it’s heartbreaking that he doesn’t have a choice or know how much his mom is a sociopathic piece of shit.

Get fucked Rachel. I hope you feel every possible pain that you voted for.

Lemmy wouldn’t let me edit my comment so adding a new one:

Also never acquiesce or give in without resistance. Always resist. They want you too paralyzed, terrified, and demoralized to do anything and want you to have anticipatory obedience. They want you to think since you’re just one person you can’t do anything so why bother. Do not give these fucks one inch. Always resist and don’t comply ahead of time.

There are a million ways you can research because you have the internet.

Off the top of my head: organize locally (and online, though online is more risky for infiltration), attend protests, fund groups in resistance lawsuits (ACLU, NRDC for climate stuff, etc.), join mutual aid networks, constantly call your local congressperson and attend town halls. Educate yourself and share truth when confronted with mis/disinformation in your own real life, get others you know to involved and help them understand the predicament we’re in, rather than what they see on Fox or Newsmax or Tiktok.

Then there are the more extreme things that I wouldn’t condone such as providing the implicit threat of violence to back up whatever the peaceful protests are advocating. The Far Right in America has done that part very well in the past 15 years.

No we’re not screwed. Yes the fascists are trying to solidify their tenuous hold but we will push back even harder and make their lives hell in every possible way, and fight to get back our representation as a whole. Stop with this defeatist bullshit and do something.

We sure are sounding a lot like the US in the late 1840s and early 1850s, in this context. Also we’re sounding like Europe in the 1920s and 30s.

He’s just another slimy corporatist owned by the ultra wealthy, but throws a bone to the social issues of Democrats. Pretty much the same strategy that modern Democrats have had for the past 40+ years. I will absolutely vote for him in the general or support him in pushing against Trump/Repulicans, but he’s one of my least favorite Democrats now.

NOBODY.

…yeah I know just let me have something

No. He should do what he can to push out and fight against this current regime, but nobody likes him or wants him as a president. Nobody.
