Like what with all the fascism going on, Trump teasing a third term, and even now passing a law to be able to deport U.S. Citizens. I can't imagine people taking these threats lightly. So basically, how are you holding up?

I’ve wanted to leave for a while now, and all of this bullshit is just making that feeling more intense.

I wake up every day, despite everything. I don't look forward to it.

I got a prescription for some anti-anxiety meds because the state of the world has made the anxiety from my ADHD borderline unmanageable. I'm debating filling it and being a zombie again until I'm either killed or can flee to a safer country (if there even is one tbh).

Yup, that's pretty much it. I am in Germany, but they've recently voted in a complete bastard who sucks up to the fascists.

I'm okay for now, thanks for asking

Same as I've always been to be quite honest. I'm a gay man and have encountered bigotry in the past. It's nothing new.

I work a very blue collar job in a factory and I don't see much of anything changing in my day to day life
