REBLOG THIS BISEXUAL ECHIDNA RIGHT NOW

posts about the alt-right pipeline being compassionate towards young men while radical leftists shun and shame them are not fucking saying "the men are becoming violent because feminists are too mean!" and if that is your takeaway you need to get off tumblr until you've better honed your critical thinking skills.

those posts are talking about how effective the language and approach you take in your activism can be. this is literally cult deprogramming 101. if someone is being taken in by a violent or dangerous group, that violent or dangerous group is usually offering them compassion and solace while working hard to convince them everyone else in the world is their enemy. you are under no obligation to coddle or act compassionate toward these men and their violent ideologies, but if you have the means to try, it is something that you can do to make a tangible difference.

radicalized people are often only one loving friend or family member or external voice away from being de-radicalized. of course that is not always the case, but it very often is. a lot of y'all rightfully understand that you do not carry the burden of being that voice, but a lot of y'all also have a lot of internalized ideas about morals and punitive justice and have simply written off these people as deserving of only the worst and not worth saving.

ten years ago, my grandmother was a fox news watching republican who voted red in every election and very well could have fallen down the qanon rabbit hole if not for me and her daughter challenging her compassionately, walking her through hypotheticals that validated her feelings & proving why they were false, & being patient with her despite our extreme division in political ideology. it was frustrating fucking work! but i decided i wanted to do it, because i could see the horizon and i could see me making a difference!

"misogynists have been saying feminists are too mean for years, get new material" that is not the fucking POINT. the point is that you, feminist, can be the compassionate voice that guides your brother, your father, your cousin, your grandfather away from fucking becoming or staying a nazi. you can show them compassion and companionship. you can be the woman they think of when their alt-right bros try to convince them that women are the enemy. and you can choose to crystallize that image of yourself so wholly in their mind's eye as worth protecting that they may very well choose to reject those harmful ideas.

it's not saying you HAVE to do it! it's saying you CAN do it! don't you 'firebomb a walmart' people all love taking change into your own hands? where the fuck is that energy right now, huh?

Thinking about how 2016 was like literally the best time of my life when it came to my interests like:

-Haikyuu Season 2 episodes came out on like Tuesdays (I would literally be waiting for the schoolbus after school watching the new episodes shaking so bad because I was excited)

-Yuri on ice episodes coming out on Thursdays (and the kiss being spoiled on tumblr before I got to watch the actual episode,, and then me accidentally spoiling it for my friend bc I reblogged like every post w the kiss I saw)

- RWBY volume 3 on Sundays but seeing spoilers on tumblr the day before bc people that had roosterteeth subscriptions couldn't wait one day 😭😭

-Miraculous ladybug episodes being released on youtube in like parts in the French dub and I'd have to watch it before my mom would make me get up to start cleaning

-BTS released their wings album and the whole conspiracy that Jin was gonna leave the band bc of "awake" and the lyrics 'I can never fly' even tho the album was called wings. And then me only listening to BTS that entire year

-o yah and Steven universe releasing "Steven bombs" like once in a blue moon and me dying for more progress in the story only for it to be like 6 episodes about the fucking mailman, and me truly believing that Lapis Lazuli was secretly Blue Diamond

-O yah and playing mystic messenger for the first time and deadass falling in love with Yoosung

I would do anything to go back to that year I swear 😭😭

some actually practical pieces of information that hopefully may quell some worries about Trump's second term:

This article explains the impracticality and illegality of Project 2025, and why most of it is very likely to be legally struck down.

This article explains how, even with a narrow Republican majority in the House, Trump will only be able to pass very bland partisan laws or bipartisan laws.

The ACLU has already prepared a gameplan for combatting the effects of Project 2025.

The state of New York has contingency plans to fight against Project 2025.

like obviously it's still gonna be a rough 4 years, and i'm not dismissing any legitimate worries. i'm just hoping this might ease some anxieties just a little.

if anyone else has some similar pieces of practical information that can dispel some of the panic, please feel free to share them!

stay vigilant and keep fighting, but try not to despair. try to keep a calm and level head as we head into the new year.

ok: let me be very REALISTIC about project 2025. if youre on the same page that project 2025 is insane and would have massive implications for your life, and you're worried, read this post.

important considerations

the "project 2025" for trumps last term only had about 2/3rds pass rate, and was much less extreme than the current agenda

after the last trump administration, or during, a good chunk of the most extreme was undone or overturned by the courts or legislature (paris accords, trans kids in sports)

organizations like the aclu have already committed to continuing their work of the first trump administration, where they alone entered 434 legal challenges and overturned some of trumps most extreme policies (muslim ban, family separation)

lets also not forget the shadow of the last 8 years of the republican party, their extremist infighting cost them tons of priorities when they had majorities

do not forget trump is also spectacular at alienating his competent aides and replacing them with more loyal, but much less experienced and competent staff

what i want you to take away

it is beyond reasonable to be afraid, confused, and angry. life will change for the worse in america.

you should be preparing plans for your safety with your doctors, family, and friends. explore your healthcare, housing, education, and employment options to the fullest extent

it is very unlikely that project 2025, especially its most extremist plans, will be implemented in their entirety. no government is a perfect law passing machine. advocacy groups are laying down and dying until 2028.

take a deep breath, make some appointments, and take care of yourself
