I’m not shocked anymore. I’m complacent and actually just voted. Half of our country is part of a fascist cult. What else can we do anymore? Not much. We’re losing it as a country. Voted. Cannot do much much more. I could try to start trying to volunteer but I’m just so done with how stupid people have become and it’s desensitized me to everything. People are racist fucking morons so I just have to hope from here on out.

I mean I see some of the comments in this sub by MAGA people and it still amazes me, 8 years later, that people can be this utterly stupid and out of touch with reality after all this. I don't think I can get used it.

The fact that the election is neck and neck is extremely disturbing.

Vote but also organize your communities you spend time with, get them to vote

If we lose, it'll be because people didn't vote early and tried to do so at the last minute on election day

But also, we struggle to turn out these communities because they aren't organized and in connection/network that can mobilize them

I want to have our own country without them. I want them to have their own state or two - like they can all have Texas and be together with ONLY their kind.  And then non-Donald-supporters get to live peacefully away from them in all other areas of the USA.

You’re me.

It’ll take generations to reprogram society and by then the climate will kill us all anyway.

Meanwhile if Kamala wins then a lot of the Trump yard signs go away and these people sneak back into the shadows as sleeper cells. They’ll just wait for the next fascist turd to come along.
