Ya'll in light of what happened at the Trump rally today (why he's allowed to travel across state lines when he still needs to be sentenced for the 34 felonies he was found guilty for in New York is beyond me but I digress), I beg you to please read what Project 2025 has in store for us if Trump steps back into the White House

Here's just a few bits:

-They want to eliminate overtime (so if you work over 40 hours, no more time and a half. They wouldn't have to pay you for that time. Hell, we'd likely be lucky if they didn't institute a six day work week again, with just Sundays off for church)

-Remove the FDIC (the organization that protects your money. If you have it in a bank account and that bank fails? The FDIC requires they pay back up to 10k. If you have over that, you're out that rest but let's be honest, how many of us on this site have over 10k to our names?)

-Deregulate the banks (show of hands, who remembers the shitshow that was 2008 with the subprime mortgages?)

Please, I am begging you to vote. Vote like your future depends on it because it does.

And if you live in VA and you're a Dem on this site, Ken Cuccinelli is one of the brains behind Project 2025. You may know him by his other works such as being the VA Attorney General who implemented the transvaginal ultrasound before you could get an abortion. If you can't stomach voting for either candidate but you hate the idea of The Cooch being able to implement his policies on a federal level, be petty and vote blue!

Just one quick correction about the first part of the post--Election Day is on a Tuesday. November 3rd is a Sunday, November 5th is Election Day. Just in case anyone can't do mail in voting and has to go in person, it's on November 5th.

If you're into football, just remember that November 5th is the deadline to trade for a government without Trump (November 5th is the trade deadline for the NFL...why they made it the same day as Election Day I do not know).

i was doing some thinking last night while i couldn't sleep. i was thinking particularly about politics in america, even more specifically how identity politics have become a thing.

it’s mostly seen in queer communities, people cutting hairs over who is and isn’t “actually” gay. the politicians don’t care who is more gay. they will not care.

i think the same idea of “screw identity policing” can apply to systemhood. i don’t think its fair for anyone to tell anyone how to feel/what they’re experiencing. i don’t think it’s a productive use of energy or time to split hairs over whether someone is “faking or not”

brains are very weird. i don’t think we know enough about brains to fully know if someone could be born with multiple consciousnesses without trauma. i do think people can experience being plural from different causes, and it’s not my job to judge them based on where they “became” plural from.

i guess im pro-endo now?

AUGH AMERICAN POLICTICAL ADVERTISEMNTS JUMPSCARE

[theonesillywitchgal]

lil background and information for my fanfic

Reader character: I don’t wanna refer to you as y/n, so you’ll have a nickname like Lemon (cause you’re probably fruity as fuck). You went to Hogwarts and was basically modern Hermione, except a Ravenclaw. Graduated with several N.E.W.T.S, and ended up going to the uni that they had for Europeans and Americans.

Hazel: Hazel was sorted into Pukwudgie, and thrived under that house in Ilvermorny. All events in Bottoms happened in her seventh year, except it was Thunderbird vs. Horned Serpent in Quidditch. loser!Hazel has my heart, and I will be incorporating her into this story.

the uni they’re going to: Basically, Isolt got together with one of her fellow relatives who went to Hogwarts around mid-1700s, and they both agreed higher education should be provided for witches, warlocks, and wizards. They built a magical building similar to Hogwarts in the Netherlands, and divided it into five parts by language: English, German, Dutch, French, and Italian. Classes were the same among all languages, and some majors you could take included: Magical Creatures, Dead and What’s Beyond, History, Polictical Science for the Ministry, and many more. This is where said protagonists meet, and everyone falls in love and such. Blegh.

So yeah. That’s it.

Hi there again

I want to thank you for explaning with what’s gonna happen with that man elected again. I am honestly having a hard time digesting what you said, again i dont like polictics but whether i like it or not, this will be a horrible mess and i need to have all the information to just get ready for hell. One of the blogs i followed is american and she did not reacted well (cannot blame her) but she only kept it to a few post before going back to her usual posts. I will still continue to do my best to learn and understand more about this. Thank you again for explaining all of this to me and i hope that our future will still have some way to get rid all of this mess.

(About my friend, he mentioned being a supporter a year ago, so there might be a chance he has changed his opinion. If not, i will try to see the hell that man will bring. I dont like dropping a friend due to.. a bad experience of being the one dropped and the aftermath that happened after. There’s also the fact that we are both classmates, so it’ll be awkward if we will be teamed up for group projects. If my friend cannot see reason, i’ll probably just distance myself from him. I’ll still talk and joke around with him like nothing happened but it will just happen less until we barely talk anymore)

(Also will i continue to talk about that man like he’s voldemort? Yes, bc he is voldemort and i just dont like him in general)

Hey Flower Anon!

I'm glad I was able to help you out there, and I definitely can agree that this topic is super difficult to grasp. It's very stressful and this will probably be the last time I'll talk about it on here due to it just not being something I typically would want on my blog.

With that said, I understand your situation with your friend and hope that it works out with them as well.

I'm in all honesty just going to pretend that nothing happened for today, because I want to celebrate my birthday in peace but also sleep well tonight...

(Referring to him the way we do to Voldemort is so funny btw and I love it haha-)

Imma say it. I don't care what you think of Hilary Clinton. I do not have a good opinion of her as a person and don't even get me started on her policts. However fucking ever. NOTHING has ever shown me more that how much the country hates women by letting Donald Trump win over her. She had bad politics of course but she is also a LEGITIMATE person of congress that has done her job for over twenty years before Trump even got on a stand. EVERYONE agreed he was a crazy asshole and trust, I was on the Bernie train as far as I could but the fact of the matter is Bill Clinton literally got impeached for getting his dick sucked in the OVAL OFFICE and other atrocities and the left is not as hard on him. Some people still love him despite his exact same policies! Not to mention Monica Lewinsky is STILL the butt of that despite her being an intern and him being the godamn president. Who had more responsibilities in that situation? It's crazy how close the poles where and people we're saying "lesser of two evils" bullshit. THE FUCK? She was talking about Healthcare and the American people and he was talking about building a wall around Mexico and LOVING to sexually assault women. There is NO comparison. Even if she was a bad president, which I don't doubt, do you honestly think she'd ever be as bad as Trump? Anyway end of rant. You can hate Hilary Clinton policies, trust me I will NOT stop you, but if you think she's even comparable to Trump you are part of the problem.

every day in the uk it gets worse for trans ppl. every day

[ravenclaw-reblogs]

it astonishes me that we all know at least a little bit about the American political system, purely because of how messed up it is

[thesaintelectric]

americans in the notes on brit polictics posts (especially regarding the energy bills price increase) shut the fuck up challenge. i dont give a shit about lol britian bad this is going to fucking kill people

[ginnyrules27]

*clears throat*

FUCK!!!!!!!

If you follow me and you voted for that orange, egotistical, traitorous, asshole, unfollow me now. If you voted third party because you didn’t think Kamala would be good for Gaza, I hope your pillow is always hot and you step on every lego in the world.

To everyone who said I was just scaremongering when I posted about Project 2025, he now has a Republican House, Senate, and he’ll be able to likely put two more justices on SCOTUS.

The ONLY bright side is that if he follows the Constitution, we’re officially done with him in 2028…but we have to get through four more years and who knows what damage he’ll do.

RIP the dream of a female president…I can’t believe you were killed twice by the same man

[song-system]

FYI, There’s a word in another language that means the feeling of secret joy you feel when something bad happens to someone.

I’m only saying this bc I think some people are feeling it.

[theonly-vagina-kyungsoo-will-fuk]

Americans think their politics are the worst and I just laugh

To be honest, all polictics around the world is just as disgusting. We have yet to see the stuff thats not brought out to light

[lactating]

american polictics are so cruel and harsh that it hurts the spirit

[deathbxnny]

Hi, i hope you dont mind me asking but..

What exactly is going on in America? A few of the blogs i follow (including you) has mentioned about it and im honestly curious. From what i got from a quick google, that man has been elected again (which honestly makes me bitter, doesnt help that my IRL friend is a supporter of him) but i dont think that’s the whole reason for everyone being upset. So again, if you dont mind me asking, what’s the whole story?

If you dont feel comfortable replying, that’s fine. This is your blog and i never want to do anything to ruin it. Just delete this ask and we can forget about it. I’ll probably try to find out more through more googling but.. idk which will be true or fake. We’ll see tbh (this is also why im making this ask, i trust you and i know you wont lie about stuff like this)

I normally dont care about polictics. They make me feel uncomfortable with the blatant corruption that exists. I live in Asia where people more or less trust the goverment, so with that man being elected, i feel this might bring a huge change and not a good one. So i feel this is something i should brace myself for whatever is gonna happened

Again, if you dont feel comfortable, delete this ask. Do not feel pressured to answer this if you do not feel comfortable. I hope you have a good day/night and take care

Hello there Flower Anon!!

Don't worry, I don't mind your ask, as this is an important topic for everyone, not only Americans. But the main issue is definitely trumps reelection, which comes with a ton of problems. I'd definitely go through the US election tag on tumblr for more info, but the main issue is women losing many of their rights, including a ton of economic issues that Trump is clearly going to make worse.

It's very complicated, and I definitely understand the fear of fake news, but in general, America's problem definitely is currently Trump being back. This will, however, also affect us all one way or another due to America's strong influence globally and in the NATO, so only time will tell how bad it's going to be...

The rise of right-wing media and, in general, people is also highly concerning. Trump's win will be a spark of motivation for them, and so the terror is very much justified. With that said, if I may give my opinion on this, I'd suggest dropping your friend if they acknowledge all of these issues yet don't care.

I'm glad you're interested in the topic, though, and as said before, I'd suggest looking at what Americans have to say on this topic, especially regarding abortion and LGBTQ+ rights in the nation that are at threat.

As mentioned before, I strongly avoid politics on this blog, as my blog is for my writing only, nothing else. But since this is extremely concerning in general for all of us, I don't mind your ask at all!

Thank you for your ask, and I hope I could somewhat help you understand the ongoing issue!<3

6. Ruthie & Tom

I figure to understand something I'm going to explain much later (the true injustice of everything) I am going to go over each family member. It will show the scale. It will show you the complete confusion of what happened. I again state, that this is my own experience and opinions. People change with years, and I don't know how these people are doing at this time. They could be deceased. ........ Ruthie and Tom lived in Mt. Siani, NY. We would take the van across on a ferry. Ruthie's home spelled great. Her and Tom showed each other respect and love. Their back yard was big and covered with birdhouses. They also had black painter's plastic on the side of the yard by the fence. Every morning, they would scatter bird seed and the red cardinals, blue jays, and other beautiful birds would come and eat. Ruth and Tom would sit on the back porch and watch the birds while they drank coffe and enjoyed the sun rising. This, I thought, was where I wanted to be when I'm older. The last time I saw Ruthie, I left feeling in what I would I call now, a terrible sense of unmature unempathic non-understanding. That late afternoon, Ralph, Georgia, Ruthie, and Tom all sat out on the porch. I want to say Ruthie and Tom had another friend over, but I'm really only remembering the four of them. That was the last night were going to be there and as the sun set, I saw something I had never seen before... fireflies. The sunset, and the stars came out. I was walking and running through the back of the yard (which was forest land) and staying near the big tree in their backyard. Then I heard Ralph start telling his polictical views. Let's talk about those views real quick. He started listening to Rush Limbaugh. Then he said Rush was misinformed. Then he started listening to an A.M. channel that was callled "The New American." He would tell me that I would have to learn how to fight because we would be living under Marshall Law and the police were going to come in, take our guns, and kill us all. I'm sure if he knew he would be there forever, he would have built a bunker in the backyard. We also had enough food and water for days. We had guns in sock drawers. Loads of rifles. I was expected to read and report to Ralph on many articles in The New American magazine. I was taught if I didn't learn Chinese, I would die. I was told I would die at a young age. Bascially, if you've read Turner Diareis, you know how Ralph thought. Back to NY.... That evening Ralph started spouting his beliefs and how everyone should be ready. Ruthie, Tom, and Georgia were yelling at him. That evening Ruthie and Tom left the evening earlier than expected and went upstairs. The next morning we left, there hugs, but lots of tension. The next few hours I road on the floor of the van, wishing and praying for a crash. Or to hurl us off a big moutain. Georgia screamed at him about coming up with bullshit, and Ralph screamed at her about being ignorant to truth. Ruthie & Tom had children, but I don't know their names. I found a love in birds because of them. I still have that dream I wish I knew I could succeed... retired. coffee. birdfeeders.
