Iām going to preface this by saying I voted for Hillary, so that itās not interpreted as being insulted or anything of that nature.
We need to put that away now. Focus on getting the country back on track, not blaming people for where we are now, with the exception of those that are
Or didnāt vote because āboth parties are the sameā
FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU ALL WITH A GODDAMN SAGUARO CACTUS.
Looking backwards is pointless right now; we must focus on the work aheadā¦
Hereās a thought: if you donāt hold people accountable for their actions in the past, they never learn.
Yeah. Iām sick of seeing infighting on the left. Focus that rage people.
Yeah, I deleted that.
This post of yours yesterday pulled me out of a headlong dive into despair (not kidding).
Need to print that out and stare at it every time I start to feel helpless.
Indeed. It can always get worse.
The decision about the california law is already a step in overturning Roe, with Clarence Thomas writing the majority opinion. Funny that when Anita Hill gave her testimony about how Clarence said that it was a āhigh tech lynchingā and that the left was afraid of him overturning Roe, in a tone as if that was a silly concern. Itās not.
I think they are further from overturning Obergefell, but thatās not out of the realm of possibility, either.
Indeed. Our fundamental right to good health care is not to be fucked with.
Same here; āBitter Bitch Syndromeā never solved any problems.
We can talk about accountability and culpability once weāre no longer in danger of imploding, right this fucking moment.
Good.
Like I said, I have to be my own āmental cheerleaderā everyday, just to keep on going. (Thatās much harder than it sounds, being that Iām not naturally āan optimist.ā)
The road ahead isnāt easy and the fight is uglyā¦ but itās not hopeless, unless we just give up and let the fuckers win without a fight.
And for me thatās simply not an option; Iāve survived too much and come too far to just ālay down and die.ā
Handmaidās Tale is going to get real. Real fast.
No, itās fucking NOT.
Stop speaking in definitive statements, like this shit is already over.
Now is not the time for defeatism.
I hear 'ya I really do but, trump and co. are going to put another one of their lackeys in his place no matter what we do.
Fight we will but a shit ton of damage is coming our way.
I am aware, and I still plan on fighting every step of the got damn way.
About all we can hope for is Dās taking over the Senate this November and McConnelling Trumpās nominee until heās hopefully voted out in 2020. This assumes that by some miracle Dās take over the Senate and manage to not fuck things up like they usually do when in power.
Hey Mueller please hurry up. I know this shit takes time but I donāt know how much we have left.
Show people a better direction. Show them how doing things differently benefits them. There is definitely a place for accountability, but punitive actions are a blunt instrument. Youāre not going to shame people into voting with you, and itās certainly not going to make them stick with it in the long run.
You need to build a foundation and an environment where they can do the right thing in the first place, and encourage them to do so.
Save the shaming for the people with power, that need to be taken down a notch, not those that need to be lifted up in the first place.
(ā¦and damn it, donāt push anyone away that could be working against what is happening now.)
Iām going to ink extra instructions onto my driverās license in case something happens to me! āIt all goes to RBG!ā
Yes please.
Iāve been thinking the same for Robert Mueller. Take good care, OK?
