    Elon Musk just threw up a sieg heil and the crowd cheered. I am entirely out of hope. I’m glad some people can find solace in hoping for a better tomorrow, but I am not one of those people.

      Meanwhile democrats expend more energy fighting the left than they do the fascists on the right. We’re truly fucked. Can’t wait for performative kneeling.

    If you are white and straight no reason to worry too much.

    It’s the minorities that need to be concerned. I’m concerned as fuck for my people and especially that we are in a sanctuary city and a state that all reds hate.

    So yeah I’m not hopeful but cautious.

      Everybody has reason to be worried. Absolutely everybody.

      Some far, far, far more than others, which is important and should not be under-emphasized.

      But “straight white people will be fine”? Fuck no.

        Which is why I said “worry too much”. You think they’ll go for white skin folks first? That’s just naive. Trust me I’m not putting your worries behind it’s just that they have already used “invasion and war” against minorities coming in even on approved refugee status.

          I might not be personally worried about being taken no but I am worried about the economy being completely fucking destroyed and being completely unable to afford food.

            I’m sorry to hear that the economy is more important than human lives.

    The divine right of kings did not survive the invention of the printing press. Nation-states likely won’t survive the invention of the internet. I’m hopeful for that.

    We will then see it in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election, when Americans elect true leaders who care about working people and the common good.

    No we won’t. We’ll get milquetoast neoliberals and a few blue dogs. And they’ll control one chamber and get fuck all done. Americans are idiots who have always voted against their best interests to entrench oligarchy.

    I have no idea how someone with so much experience in politics could possibly think this is what will happen.
