I voted for Harris. I'm a trans gal stuck in Texas who won't be going anywhere as the result of a lease and lack of money to just pick up and leave. The meds I need to function are expensive, and right now I'm going through withdrawals for one of them because I haven't had the time to find a new doctor to get more because Trump's America is already fucking people over and caused my psychiatrist's office to close down; which is part of the reason why I'm on a hair trigger right now. The other part of it is that I'm sick and disgusted by people like you. I cannot find the words to express the utter revulsion that I experience for someone like you. Just because you voted for Harris doesn't mean your disgusting, self-centered attitude isn't part of the reason why we're here in the first place.
I'm so fucking glad that you're gonna be safe and well fed in your pretty little ivory tower that you've built; but the rest of us are gonna be fucking miserable at best and the fact that you've supposedly helped a small group of people doesn't absolve you of your shitty, sociopathic desire to throw everyone else under the bus regardless of background or political views, just so that you can get back at the people who have wronged you. Just because you're "on the right side of history" by voting progressive doesn't mean you get to throw everyone who lacks the means to protect themselves under the bus.
"Yeah, well, I got mine, lmao"
Go fuck yourself, you miserable excuse for a questionably human being. I hope when Trump starts rounding up people wholesale, then you'll be one of the first to go.
nobody is asking you, personally, to fix it. but your wholehearted embracing of the suffering of others (i mean, at least you will be fine!) to "educate" is a bitter pill for people who are already struggling, and for people who rightly fear they won't survive as readily as you will.
Sheldon Whitehouse (D) could have stopped Trump's tariffs simply by showing up and doing his job, but he didn't. That's the whole point of this story.
House would not have passed it and certainly not have enough votes to overcome a Trump veto.
That'd be a pretty fucked up thing to do.
Okay so what are you doing to prepare for this hellishness coming our way?
Okay none of that will help if you actually believe what you said is coming is coming so iDK why you think you're better off than anyone
I mean yeah? That's already a concern without Kennedy making a list if neurodivergent folks and checking it twice.
Anyways, what will you do if someone comes to take your shit? Like anyone, no one in particular. People have guns here.
Lol okay bro clearly you have got it covered 👍
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You're such a badass 🤡
