The UK's current problems,

which the Right blames on Liberal politics, stem from Brexit, which would not have won the 2016 referendum if the Right hadn't excessively promoted it to unknowing voters, just because voting 'Leave' was the nationalist option.

The USA's current problems,

which the Right blames on Liberal politics, are the result of decades of Republican drip-down economics and GWB's idiotic wars.

Germany's current problems,

which the Right blames on Liberal politics, stem from 16 years of a neutered center-Right government that did nothing, as well as the Libertarian Party's intentional sabotage.

...

Starting to notice a pattern here.

I’m sorry but if there is one thing the Tumblr left needs crucially, it’s the ability to celebrate.

I remember when marriage equality was called and there were waves of rainbows and love wins posts. When we successfully defeated Donald Trump, there was lukewarm relief, a reminder that you were only allowed one or maybe two days to celebrate and then it was back to work. That is if you were even a good person for voting Biden. We never did settle if he was better than Trump. (We did.). We didn’t celebrate student loan debt relief or any of the accomplishments of the Biden administration, or any of the times Trump was blocked, or other countries succeeding in keeping fascists out of office. Who cares if we had successes? It’s not good enough. Back to work!

And this anti-celebratory attitude stretches back to the past. On the 100th anniversary of female suffrage in America, we were reminded that not all women had the vote and so we weren’t allowed to celebrate. The only post I saw about Juneteenth was reminding us that there were enslaved people who were killed instead of freed and therefore celebrating the end of chattel slavery was wrong, and besides, we have prison labor so nothing really changed or got better and there’s nothing to celebrate anyway. Trans Day of Visibility comes with Trans Day of Remembrance so that people don’t fill the tags with hate crimes and death. So on and so forth. Nothing gets better. Nothing changes. Back to work!

So of course when we have a major setback, we fall apart and have to start frantic damage control. Frantic discourse ensues over how much people are allowed to unplug before it becomes bad and selfish. Yes, maybe you can have this one day off Mr. Cratchit but you better be here and miserable early the next morning. Like abusive bosses always insisting you squeeze out more, more, more, and any achievement is just proof you were lazy the other times and impetus for more work.

If we are never allowed to acknowledge any of our victories, how are we supposed to survive our defeats?

riled up one of the cons with my last post

my reply:

Before you go picking up the ways of the keyboard warrior you should know what I did, though cathartic is ill advised, the best way to deal with his ilk is to block, learned that from hours of written slapfests on Twitter back in the day.

That troll i blocked after he repeated what I said to him verbatim later because it wasn't going anywhere.

They don't give up, we should not either. I wrote those two things after reading a substack about why all those people didn't turn up in november, long story short despair and disheartenment. In addition to that I've heard of and myself been one of those people that disengaged in frustration and sadness after the orange bastard won.

But we cannot do that as a movement, as a party, as people, and as a society. The way the Republicans got to holding the Supreme Court, the Senate and the presidency in addition to having a vast propaganda machine was through determination, tactics , and work over decades. To take our country back and make a world better than the one we entered we must use those three things. It won't be easy, and it won't be without defeats and set backs but it is an effort we need to wage if for nothing else than to be looked upon favorably by history. Do not submit to them, it achieves their goals and makes the fascists feel great. Organize locally, teach others critical thinking, expand the membership of unions and of the party in addition to other organizations for us, and most importantly Resist and Persist.

We did beat people like this before , and I know it is within bare minimum possibility that we can beat them again.

To people like minded to me, see this and reblog it. There is a lot of dooming and despair going around and before we can reclaim our society we must reclaim our spirits!

everyone assumes he's sinister but what if he truly is just a nice guy with difficulty expressing himself, issues with emotional control, and over enthusiasm for potentially demonic face wear. He aids link in his quest multiple times and resets the world if link gets obliterated by the moon so his heart is in the right place.

Hey sorry to get political again, but I think this is extremely important.

So I'm sure most of y'all have heard something about Project 2025, but if not, here's the gist. It's a giant document written by members of the Trump administration, meant to be an instructional guide for if he becomes president again.

This guide is long, and intentionally written to be as boring as possible so voters won't read it and see the heinous shit they want to do.

However, a LOT of comic artists have come together to make comics about the contents of Project 2025, to make it easier for everyone to understand.

https://stopproject2025comic.org/

These comics feature page citations for everything stated and have transcripts below them for the visually impaired.

Project 2025 is dangerous to all of the USA. It will kill and imprison millions of citizens, and the ones who live will have exponentially worsened lives. To name just a few things, they want to use AI to determine the necessity of healthcare treatment for Medicare and Medicaid members, make education a privilege to pay for instead of a right, expand the definition of "pornography" to include anything that views queer people positively and label educators and librarians as sex offenders for possessing books with such topics. The list goes on, you can read these and multiple other topics in the link above.

So what can we do? Well, there's 3 things.

1. Reblog! Repost! Spread this thing like wildfire! Everyone needs to be aware of what they're trying to do.

2. Tell family! Or friends, or neighbors, or anyone really. Share the comics with them, on topics you know they care about. Especially if they're still planning to vote for Trump or are indecisive.

3. GO OUT AND VOTE! This is the most important one. Go out and use your vote to prevent this from ever getting enacted. Your vote matters, it is a right given to you and if you don't vote, you might not ever get to again after this is enacted.

This election is our only chance to stop Project 2025 from happening. Do your part.
