I deleted all my social media apps except this one so we reblogging like it’s 2012 🤪🤪🤪

Really I think nothing shouts "my first Presidential election as a politically active person was 2016" more than the fact that when I feel hope and excitement for the future (possible President Harris) for more than five minutes I immediately get a crushing, all-consuming anxiety of "feeling this positive emotion now is going to make it so much worse when the worst thing possible happens" to the extent that I'll probably need my break-glass-in-case-of-emergency anxiety medication.

some of us have to put on a fucking brave face and smile and wave at people who literally voted to take away everything we have worked so fucking hard to get. some of us work in places with people who hate us, who tell us to speak english because we're in america, who tell us we have jobs because nowhere else would take us, who can't stand the idea of an overqualified black woman in power. we have to keep our heads down because we have no other choice if we want to keep the job that is keeping a roof over our heads and food on our tables.

i'm sorry to be doomposting but sometimes it's not as easy as just keep moving, keep your head up, live!, when you're surrounded by people who want the opposite for you.

When someone tells you they voted for trump because they thought he would be better for the economy, remind them of this:

Last night I was lying in bed and realized I forgot to buy a pregnancy test at the grocery store. I got up and rifled around the bathroom because I could've sworn I had a spare. I just wanted to give myself the extra peace of mind immediately before my annual GYN appointment since they always do one. I have NO reason to think I'm pregnant. The chance would be miniscule, but I literally lost sleep over the idea of having a positive test recorded in my chart, and then of course just thinking about the state of our rights. I'm in the privileged position of having education, access to contraceptives, etc. and it's SO much worse for others.

When the world needed him most… he vanished

Only Ford, master of monster/cryptid/demon/etc fucking can save the United States from Trump

The past couple days online have been... interesting. I consider myself a leftist, think capitalism is corrupt, and think that it needs to be seriously reformed/overthrown. I admit that while I've thrown around phrases and terms like "burn it all down" and "the revolution needs to come" out of frustration without actually thinking about what a revolution entails: excellent organization, unity, and strategy to defeat the United States, the world's largest military superpower which has inflicted political and social destabilization across the majority of countries around the world. There also needs to be superb infrastructure and community to support the disabled, elderly, and poor populations who rely on government assistance and programs, healthcare, and accommodations while this so-called revolution rages on.

All I've received from the far leftist movement are lectures from condescending intellectuals who rattle off academic citations regarding ideological theory rather than practical, tangible steps to advocate for change in our local and regional communities. I have not seen one of them actually discuss conversations they've had with their friends, family, or Americans about what they want to see reflected for the future of the country. I have not seen one of them discussed how destructive, detrimental and traumatic a Trump presidency was for social prejudice and morale in the United States. I understand that for many marginalized groups they've been living in a facist state for centuries so the possibility Project 2025 doesn't galvanize them to see the two parties differently, but I don't think it is fair to white leftists falsely equivocate the election of both parties for the entire American population at all??? Or like at least specify the issues you're referring to in which you view both parties as the same????? Literally one TikTok creator who I used to follow talked about how true leftists are so much better than liberals because they aren't waiting for a presidential candidate to save the world NOW due to the accelerated apocalypse due to climate change but when asked how to change the world they suggest sharing ideas of your future utopia with other leftist groups. How the fuck is sitting around talking about living in a walkable community is great considered "saving the world now"? How are you going to dismantle and restructure American infrastructure to create these communities? How are you going to remove existing racial and social tensions to create a community where everyone lives happily side by side? Do people not consider reality at all?????

And is it not wrong for people to have a fucking sliver of optimism and hope at incremental change that's achieved within the corrupt bipartisan system of American politics, even if they know it's propaganda??? Is it wrong for people to have a singular fucking moment of relief in feeling like their values, beliefs, and lives will be better protected and THEY can advocate for change better??? Is it wrong when there's a couple months until the most pressing election in recent history for people to make the choice they feel will reduce the most amount of harm???

oh boy its my favorite day where nonusamericans condescendingly explain to me that the election effects other countries too and therefore i need to be even more terrified than however terrified i already am

[giggleesblog]
