not even saying it's a good thing because i am so far beyond checked out at this point but i cannot fathom nailbiting over this election after more than a year of genocide, after every single 395 days of it. like i can but i can't. the truth is americans will sleep just as well tonight as we have every day since october 7th no matter who wins because that's the world we live in. we live in. while the money we generate from shitty 9 to 5s is taxed and sent to keep children and mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters up night after night after night with the sound of drones and gunfire and bombshells. this world is so far beyond americans' worst case scenario already and the solution to it is outside a ballot box on election day.

#j.txt #2024 elections #feeling nothing in this chilis tonight if i'm honest #again not even saying it's a good thing #this past year has broken something in my brain #i can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing when it manifests as this kind of apathy but it's not an all encompassed apathy #it's apathy for america's political landscape specifically spliced with. something else i probably couldn't begin to describe #like this is not a post about despair but about hope #it's a fragile one but it's permanent. i guess fragile is the wrong word then #it's a small hope but there is not a world in which it goes away anymore #however it's alienating me from like fellow leftists because their anxiety is not unfounded #like at all #like i'm literally trans lmao if trump wins my life Will get worse but #i just can't evoke like. literally an ounce of worry. it's just nothing in there right now #not bad not good it's just like. man i'm gonna eat my dinner and go to sleep and go to work in the morning about this <3 #and i'll probably do it the day after too! because that's what i've done with a literal genocide beamed into my eyeballs for a year like #like!!!!!!!!!!#if i did that somehow somehow somehow Somehow. the somehow being literally because i'm a white american so i get to #doesn't matter if i didn't want to i got to and i did and. it's. no yeah it broke my brain probably forever #if i did that i won't lose a wink of sleep over american politlcs superbowl day. i won't and i couldn't even if i tried
