"Traumatized by Trumpism": The toll of outrage fatigue on MAGA

Here's the original article that two sections of were posted previously.

We all feel Trump fatigue — and he's in serious trouble. But don't look away | Salon.com

America is getting weirdness fatigue. It's time to cancel The Trump Show and move on.

Some people who started middle school or high school around 2015 may actually think that Trumpism is normal in American politics. In fact, you'd have to go way back to the McCarthy era (late 1940s to mid 1950s) to find anything close to it.

Trump is to American Politics what COVID-19 is to public health.

Trump is not normal and we need to reinforce institutions of democracy to hinder people like him in the future.

The first thing we can all do is vote – and take more interest in what goes on at the state and local levels which are often neglected by liberals and moderates.

I've been thinking about how little research is done on M.E. and I realized with trump in power, the now minuscule funding that comes from the government that goes into M.E. research will be basically non existent. Trump doesn't care about disabled people, he doesn't care about the ones that have visible symptoms, so why would he care about a disease that is completely invisible to the naked eye.

75% of people with M.E. are unable to work full time, and a quarter (25%) of people with M.E. are either house-bound or bed-bound.

An estimated 3.3 million people in the US have M.E. and over 390,000 people in the UK have M.E.

Underneath the cut I am leaving links to different organizations that support pwME and fight for more funding for M.E. research.

(ME action is one of my faves just because they send out petitions and whatnot in their emails.)

Who needs rights anyways.

I'm just a silly little teenager.

And is scared for the future of her healthcare.

But like I'm young I don't matter

Per Axios, President Biden is functional from 10am to 4pm, afterward he enters fatigue mode!

i hate that people seem to value my potential worth with a bachelor's degree ("you'll make more money!" as if my degree program isn't one of the least useful degrees if you're not going into med school) over my mental health. as if monthly OCD-induced and autistic meltdowns aren't bad enough.

it's not like i'm a semester or two away from graduating. i have a couple YEARS left. i'm still technically in my third year in my degree. i can only manage 3 courses at the very most and any more causes me to burn out and my executive dysfunction plummets

Trump Fatigue is Real

Election-related joke below. Ignore if you have burnout.

I added Simon Curtis back to my playlist around the time that weasel got elected and-

Not pictured- Diablo, which is the best match for how I feel about the cheeto. And the song that's cut off is called,"The Dark 2- Return to the Dark", which is a great title for how we all probably feel right now.

Does anyone feel like no matter how many petitions for human rights you sign, no matter how many Palestinans you donate to, no matter how many Trumptards you report for hate speech....it's never gonna get better. That all of this is just wasted effort. That abortion access and LGBT rights are gonna be taken away regardless? That all Palestinans will go extinct thanks to Israel anyway? That all those cuntservatives are gonna live a happier life than you because they profit and revel in the oppression of others? And maybe that all this time you were just digging your own grave while deluding yourself into thinking that you were digging a trap for the wicked members of society?

Does anyone else feel like maybe you only became an activist because of lingering self hatred (you know kinda like one of those "life improvement and self-help" YouTube videos from like 2017 which gave you advice that the path to ending self loathing is to be charitable to others until it somehow overrides your inner critic?), and you are willing to give away your last savings to humanitarian causes because if you don't then you are a shit human being who deserves to be kicked in the mouth repeatedly?

Does anyone else feel like you have to be involved in activism and political topics all the time? Even if you are tired and you've been stressed out for a myriad of other reasons? Because you know that if you aren't involved then you're gonna get roughly and unpleasantly fucked by the establishment even more than you are already getting roughly and unpleasantly fucked by it?

Does anyone else feel like this or are those my societal privileges taking over my neurotic brain? Maybe this is just my privilege induced fragility controlling me and I need to shut the fuck up and stop complaining? Who knows?

Who fucking knows?

Trump can’t win the general election with 78% of the Republican vote. In 2020, Trump got 94% of the Republican vote and lost. The country would be well served if most of the Haley voters either voted for Biden, voted third party, stayed home or wrote somebody in for president. They don’t have to vote for Biden to thwart Trump. Even Fox “News” has admitted that Trump can’t win without Haley’s supporters. Another symptom of Trump fatigue is that Mike Pence has declined to endorse his candidacy. This is huge news. What if Al Gore had refused to endorse Biden? In addition, 41 out of 44 Trump cabinet members have declined to endorse him. These are the people who know Trump best. This gives millions of Republicans a permission slip to not vote for Trump in November.

Republicans In Disarray - Why Trump Won't Win

I don’t believe we can take a single moment’s rest until he is vanquished, and I’m terrified he will find a way to successfully execute the coup this time, but this writer has some good observations that can help keep us focused.
