Regardless of your political affiliations $hit has gone so far sideways it's not even funny.
I fear for my future freedoms as a female
I fear for my LGBTQ+ family and friends
I fear for my friends who have more melanin in their skin
I fear for my people who are here on Visas and Greencards
Honestly...I fear for anyone who isn't in the top 10% financially.
Things are scary. I try not to be paranoid. I try not to fall into conspiracies. But the way things are going it's really hard not to make parallels to a certain time in Europe... a time where my grandfather had to go fight in a war. A time where Yatzis ran amok.
I'm just...tired and scared. I don't understand how we are allowing this to happen. I don't understand how some people think this is ok. Racism and sexism are running rampant. They think its ok now to show how horrible they are. But the worst is how they think it won't affect them too. Newsflash....Billionaires don't f**king care about Joe Shmo from -insert tiny town name-. They aren't going to help us. Why would they?!?!?! There is no benefit to do better for us.
All they care about is money and control. And we handed it to them on a silver platter. They aren't even hiding it anymore that they are doing shady $hit, they are just throwing it in our faces and saying "what ya gonna do?" FFS an immigrant who we didn't elect into office has free reign to do what he wants in all gov agencies. Cutting out the corruption and bloat is what we want but there are ways to do it that don't involve blindly gutting things like the FAA, NOAA, IRS, DEQ, etc.
And people are still supporting it and making excuses that they are doing it to MAGA.
I don't know what to do. I don't know how it happened. But I do know that we are only a few weeks in and not even the onion can come up with the Shenanigans of reality.
