#im so exhausted & angry rn to articulate my thoughts properly#but there is something so condescending & sneering & arrogant about americans who are wawling at anyone#legitimately afraid that the good portion of people will disengage now that b*den won#like. no one is saying anything about organizations legal teams etc. where people tirelessly work#but about the individual response to do something; there /are/ people out there who think that voting itself is the be-all & end-all of it#& i’m sorry to say but their engagement /will/ wither away after the election#& yes. /they/ are not the liberals that brought the change about#but it’s still that engagement(among other things) to get out & vote /at all/#that shifted the landscape & brought about the change; it’s even that smallest of#engagements that resulted in the highest voter turnout rate in years#& every single one - even that tiniest of actions & interactions - would be significant to people#who live outside the US & under its constant imperialist tyranny#like. idk how to explain to you that my fear is not ‘performative’ but that it’s rooted in the dread & that back at home#people live surrounded by american troops & that they could die at any moment#& that no matter what president you have for us it's all the same#no one is calling your victory meaningless. i am actually genuinely happy for you. 4 more years of trump would’be been HELL.#all im saying is that it would be nice to bottle up that momentum & keep pushing. it won’t happen overnight & no one is expecting it to#but it would be nice to know that the strength in numbers & engagement isn't dwindling. like literally that is ALL.#ive seen a few of these posts around &........ i am just.... so tired. SO tired.#i swear that the western leftist forget that there 600 U.S. military bases in the world & that people live in constant terror#acting as if people aren’t legitimately scared for A REASON. i can’t. i just can’t.#tbd#most likely i just had to externalize it somewhere. ughhh.#typos included since im sleep deprived#but is2g i have to physically restrain myself from replying to said posts with: 'sorry for not wanting to die 🙃'#like sorry for wishing more people would engage so that we could move somewhere beyond dread#shut up el
