It's hard to know what to say. Just know that you aren't alone and you still have support from many millions of allies, even if it may not feel like it right now.

I weep for every woman, minority, and member of the queer community who tried to stop this. It sickens me to witness fascism growing not just in America, but the world over.

There are truly scary times ahead. Stay strong ❤️

Good luck everyone - hope to see you all again.

Sigh. Just an ally, but I'll keep being one however I can.

I need to get my skills up to snuff and get a new job... the idea that I will technically be working for that failure of a human being is nauseating. I refuse to be complicit.

There's nowhere to even fucking go, half the rest of the planet is going the same direction or is otherwise semi reliant on the US

On the other hand, if all the good people give up the fight and leave it to project 2025 to find their replacement the public as a whole will be in even greater danger.

Obviously it’s not fair to expect you to put yourself in danger for everyone else, but it might just be worth considering of forms of resistance.

I'm in a hard red state, working for a branch of government that already leans fairly red (DoD). Not even being hard on myself, I am a dime a dozen IT technician that coasted into my current position. Frankly, I think I've wanted out for a while now, there's just nowhere else to work in the area.

That’s unfortunate but I understand, I just didn’t want the thought of working for him to be the only reason. Be safe.

Oh I'm sorry did you want rights? I thought you wanted The Right™️

[-] alx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 day ago

Not funny nor useful thing to answer.

OP, i'm so sorry and frightened. I hope you'll have a great community to survive this and build a better society by the example.

I'm not a US person, but I would like to know what exactly is so bad about the trump man.

Besides looking funi and not being all that cool, did his win last time influence trans people that much?

Or is he just really pushing the anti-trans agenda harder this time?

Maybe I missed a twitter post or something, I'm just confused about why people are only now thinking of moving out.

Did you see the whole project 2025 thing?

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Nope I did not see the whole project 2025 thing. Imma look at it now and probably edit this comment when I'm done
