It’s unproductive to try working with people who, for the past few decades, were actively voting to get rid of my friends and family because they didn’t fit White Heteronormative Christian Right America’s box.

They put all of their faith into Trump. They literally believed God sent him to save America from the Democrats and liberals trying to “destroy” this country.

I’m sorry, but I do not want to put my trust in the hands of racist bigots who can easily be lead astray by their own greed and prejudices.

Nah, they should both admit that they were wrong and okay with extreme bigotry in the White House.

Meanwhile, the rest of us who will continue organizing with our fellow minorities, trans, and working class folks.

You might want to do that anyway. You know, in case everything does get shut down. I know people who can’t navigate their own city without GPS for the life of them.

She’d have an easier time cosplaying as Scully at an X-Files convention.

I’m sorry, but there is so much confusion and chaos hitting this current generation of both parents and their children, that needing to have the “don’t inject yourself with butterfly remains” talk is not something many people are thinking about.

Lmao, I knew a guy from grade school with the last name Null.

You’re not entirely wrong but I was a complete misfit and the black sheep of my family. I resisted their attempts to conform and homogenize me.

I think I took a lot of inspiration from the stories I had access to from books, tv, film, and video games.

Harry could read so I wonder if he also had access to books with inspiration characters. Also, what was his school life like?

Realistically, Trump is gearing up for a ‘Reichstag Fire’ moment in which he will blame antifa leftists and justify implementing martial law and a police state to suppress any attempts at protest or resistance. Because even a George Floyd sized protest can be squashed.

A few things need to happen simultaneously.

  1. There has to be a schism within the military if we have a chance, but Trump is making sure the only people left are true believers who will fall in line.

  2. Local grassroots resistance movements that practice mutual aid and direct action.

  3. Foreign military/militias aiding these grassroots movements via trade networks. This last one will be mighty difficult and will require people who have access to such channels to begin with (ports, borders, etc.)
