Yep, can't say this didn't have a hand in changing my world view.

Trump is fucked no matter what he does to him.

Ignore him or try to obstruct and he succeeds.

Arrest and deport, riots across the country.

Kill him and those riots might quickly become armed insurrection.

***Criminal, not civil.

And they're going to make up charges, I guarantee it.

What the actual fuck is going on?

He just said of Gaza "It's gotta be rebuilt... in a different way" "There's some fantastic things that can be done with Gaza"....

"Unleashing Alaska's potential" They're going to drill in Anwar.

Cartels designated as terrorist organizations. Someone just asked if he might send special forces to Mexico, he said "stranger things have happened".

Declaration of national emergency on the southern boarder.

I sure as shit don't feel any more safe than when Trump was in office, almost like there's a larger societal political thing going on that's not contingent on one person. Thanks to Biden for...

saying he supports us.

I'm a US military veteran, I approve of this message. I fucking hate the hero worship crap that rando people throw at me. I'll occasionally ask them what they think I did for them and they answer "muh freedoms". I tell them I was a stupid kid that got suckered into participating in a war crime, and we ruined people's lives who never threatened the peace and liberties you enjoy.

I'll wipe my ass with the flag.

My mom was one of them. not get the shot. She was starting to come around to the idea of getting the J&J shot because it's a traditional vaccine, then she was spooked off by the news telling her that it caused blood clots...

CW: Death She fought for about a day to take her breathing mask off because having things strapped to her face caused panic attacks for her. They sedated her as best they could, but any further and it would have likely killed her. For hours on end she wrestled with my partner, the nurse, and I, flailing in a blind panic until she couldn't keep it up anymore. Her lungs were obliterated and showed solid white on the X-rays; she wasn't even a candidate for intubation. I held her hand while she drowned in her own liquified lungs, till her pulse just faded...

I wouldn't feel an ounce of sympathy for the individuals responsible for allowing it to play or like it did. But the capitalist system is what made these monsters, and I don't want the heads of the Hydra, I want to stab straight into the heart.

"Totalitarian" and "authoritarian" do so much lifting in these arguments. People seem to think that these adjectives are only applicable to developing world countries and anywhere that isn't the West. Try going anywhere or staying alive in this society without money, and take a look at the policies you support - are they law? Try being queer or against the social grain of society, watch what meager rights you have evaporate.
