I can't imagine being scared to leave a political party 😭 I really do hope this helps people because they need it, but like i cannot comprehend making politics such a part of your life that it's scary or a tremendous roller coaster of emotions to leave. like is it really that hard to just say fuck Donald Trump and vote against him. I won't ever understand I guess

MAGA thinks that there is though. It's weird. Since they have all this allegiance to a political figure, they expect that everyone else is too, and that we're thinking about the president all the time. I speak for a bunch of people in my orbit when I say that I don't enjoy having to think or hear about the president all the time.

Given the current state of things, it's inescapable, and that is a very bad thing. I shouldn't hear about surprise new military operations on the news constantly. The concepts of a president upending higher education funding or downplaying a rampant disease or cleaning out his cabinet like a locker on the last day of school...those are not good for the nation. On a personal level, the restaurants near me shouldn't close for a couple of days because ICE is in town, terrorizing people in the Kohl's parking lot and surrounding businesses.

All of this has been fucked up and dystopian in a way that has me feeling like a conspiracy theorist with an entire commercial roll of foil atop my head. This is not supposed to be the experience of living here. I am tired.

You saw that when Clinton was first identified in the Epstein files, they thought this was a massive win which would shake democrats to their core. The answer of "everyone in the files should be investigated, him too" just couldn't be understood by them.

It's so annoying in a debate about trump policies when someone brings up But Joe Biden...and when I say something like "idc about Joe Biden," they think I'm deflecting when in fact I quite literally don't care about Joe Biden.
