#trump depression

[icecoldslugs]

Something very discouraging I keep seeing happen over and over again is how quick transfems of colour are thrown under the bus once they stop serving their purpose as a rethorical talking point. It really sucks witnessing supposedly leftist white transfems calling for solidarity between us but immediately turning around calling their brown sisters disruptive and self righteous when they rightfully point out something racist that was said.

I don't know it's just very alienating knowing brown trans women will be dropped and singled out as being pick me girls for transmisogynists the second they start talking about racism within the community. It's deeply frustrating.

“Suicidal five year olds” is honestly one of the most bleakly depressing things I have ever heard in my life.

this country truly just hates women so much it would rather vote on a literal piece of shit with googly eyes than any woman even the most qualified. at this point I'm just disappointed not surprised

one more day until I go

When Juanaflippa died, she was the first. No one knew how to react. Charlie and Mariana expressed the rage, the denial, and it was a spectacle of roleplay followed up by a wacky trial made for laughs. At this point, the rest of the server were still getting used to their eggs, so only Charlie and Mariana felt that twinge of pain from losing an egg. But when you remember Juanaflippa, you remember an explosion. A marvel.

Next Trump died. Maxo made you feel heartbroken with the image of a grieving father wallowing in misery and self destruction. But it was all still early, and most people didn't even notice. Trump died from neglect. Dan never saw him after adoption day. The server didn't come together like they did Juanaflippa. It was all very quiet. To this day, not many people in the community could tell you anything about Maxo's kid. About how hard his father bargained for his life between the gods. About how he failed. Trump was a whisper in the wind that only his father and those who watched him could bother to hear.

Then Tilín. At this point, the server was becoming more accustomed to the eggs. They were becoming attached. When Tilín died, it was depressing in every sense of the word. Quackity was somber, he barely spoke a word when he heard what had happened. A grave was built for Tilín by others with a heavy heart. There was no spectacle, and this time most people were involved in some way. Luzu came on to meet Tilín, and had to deal with that grief of being told his child was dead, something so heavy on him that he shut down completely. In life and in death, Tilín was the embodiment of sadness.

Bobby. The first death since Tilín. The first death in a long time. Everything had changed for the server. The eggs are their babies, their world. Everyone gathered to grieve Bobby, because they're a community now unlike ever before. But its different this time, they aren't there to witness a marvel from a distance, or grieve in sympathy. Bobby was a celebration. Music and dancing and memories. Toasts and cheering his name until the final moment. And having a final clap in his name after. Bobby was life. Because they're all scared now, terrified for their children. But they know what to expect this time. They're ready. They knew not to watch Jaiden and Roier grieve from the sidelines, they knew not to turn their backs on the two, and they would be sad but by god would they be happy as well. The server celebrated Roier and Jaiden, celebrated Bobby, and accepted his death with his name being shouted into the sky.

[fantastic-nonsense]

y'all know it's bad out there when I, someone who does politics for a living and has to listen to all kinds of cringey speeches and turns of phrase every single day, turned off the presidential debate 20 minutes in

[whats-up-doc]

I honestly lost all appetite to eat or even exist… I feel like I just got kicked in the balls and spit on…

Like I don’t love Harris… but I fear for life with the “orange one”.

[bumblingest-bee]

the number of gen z men who voted trump is so so sooooo fucking depressing. these are my peers my classmates my coworkers and they don’t see me as fully human. their worldview is fundamentally opposed to it and they will not believe anyone who tries to challenge this because they are deeply ingrained in entitled misogynist communities and ideologies and they have no incentive to change their beliefs because their lack of respect and empathy for women will only ever benefit them. yay 😀

"Nazi Town, USA" is a 2024 feature in PBS's American Experience series. It looks into the surprising degree of influence which Nazis had in the United States in the 1930s. There were even Nazi summer camps for kids.

It can be viewed (probably for a limited amount of time) at the series link above. Here's a preview...

To explore the topic more deeply, check out Rachel Maddow's excellent 8-episode podcast Ultra.

Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra | an MSNBC original podcast

Ultra has somewhat more emphasis on Nazi attempts to penetrate government.

Those espousing Nazi-friendly views in the 1930s did not disappear when the US entered World War II and fascism became very unfashionable. Those half-hidden feelings hibernated and occasionally emerged from time to time to poison discourse and endanger democracy. There are obvious echos of that movement today.

It’s driving me crazy that a bunch of new manufacturing plants are about to open due to IRA and CHIPS, but Trump is going to get credit for it despite opposing both those bills.

I can't imagine being anywhere near as insane as Trump supporters because my dad told me that he, earlier, drove past a guy putting a "Harris Walz 2024" sign outside his house and decided to yell out at him "TRUMP 2024 YOU COCKSUCKER" and flip him off. And he laughed when he told me because he thinks that yelling at a man (emphasized man because he thinks men should be "better" than women, and "better" would be voting for Trump in this case) who is voting for a "whore who slept her way to the top" (his exact words) is funny. And expected me to laugh with him. And got angry when I didn't and just stared at him in disbelief. Even though he already knows that I don't like Donald Trump. These people fully expect others to find their weird ass derogatory words and behavior FUNNY. Donald Trump is leading a cult of old people who he brainwashed into being delusional with him.

(Warning: heavy feeling dump)

Okay, so it’s very likely that trumps gonna win and I just need a place to kinda let my feelings out cause i am so fucking scared right now. What’s happening right now really feels like a horrible nightmare and it’s really fucking with me cause nothing has ever felt so unreal to me. I am terrified. Terrified about what gonna happen to me and whats gonna happen to my family. I’m not gonna go into detail but we are a demographic of people that Trump and those who follow him are very keen on getting rid of and honestly? That’s just really scary to me. This past month I’ve half seriously joked with my family that if Trump wins we’re moving to Canada or something, but the fact that that is now the highest possibility (at least at the moment) feels so serious and severe that I really just don’t know how to cope. What’s gonna happen to us? Are we gonna have to leave? What happens if we stay? I have no fucking clue and the worst part is that I can do literally nothing right now. Anyone thanks for reading and sorry for dumping all this out, I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now.

Do I have a right to talk about the American election as a english person? No. But at this point all we are doing is watching it burn and burn and the fire extinguishers are somewhere but here.

How the hell do people let a CONVICTED FELON become president. He wants to fuck his daughter and a felon?

I swear Hitler is blushing and giggling at watching this. I'm talking history for school no expert because yknow, school history but everyone in my class can see the early signs of a dictator in Trump. And pointed out by a few upperclassmen, similar signs Hitler had, then people ignored.

He actively wants to kick out immigrants. Now you may be thinking;"but he wants illegal immigrants ou-" *loud incorrect buzzer* he said 25 million (I believe could be wrong) there are not that many illegal immigrants there. If I'm right there's currently 13.3 mill in the USA. So where is the 11.7 million coming from? Unless he was was padding up the numbers witch, I guess we all do at times, exaggerate

Similar to a certain dictator im learning about both are against the gays. Well if project 2025 is anything to go about. Talking about that.

They want to control what is being taught in schools. "Woke" this would ,I imagine also include anything against their party. Because wanting to be on the not wanting controlling women's bodies, inforcing Christan nationalism and wanting a future Left if considered woke. Sounds familiar? Treachery Act of 1934. Witch allowed them to punish people who spoke out about the German Reich (Nazi).

The election voting was also very.... Strange, several voting ballots were destroyed, misplaced or out right bribed. Now if this happened in 2020? The Trump voters would be SCREAMING. Begging for a recount until everything is fine. But he won so why care about democracy? Even if he wasn't a horrible excuse or cum and an egg, it would still be right to redo the voting.

I have friends in America who could VERY well be in DANGER because of this. It's not just about my friends but everyone who this effects

But hey, I'm just a teenager in the UK who is an outsider, I'm not from you're country. My facts could be wrong. I'm not saying everything here is the Goispal and is true. Because I'm still a teen I don't understand most laws in the us. I could of got my figures wrong. But even if the rules were made with the purest PUREST intentions, so was article 48 in the Weimar constitution. Meant to led a damaged country during times of crisis so the president didn't have to wait for laws to be passed., then used by Hitler to get what he wants. I'm just saying.
