Okay, I’m appropriately horrified. Now what?
You either organize and help fight it, or you end up in it.
Candidly, I’ve been calling reps since 2003, organizing and volunteering since 2008, street protesting since 2016. There are horrified people with much longer histories. Yet here we are, still buried under republican representation, while the country is still oppressing, bombing, and building prisons.
I’m certainly not intending to cease action but it sure is frustrating. As if the message is not clear, or truly the pop is culturally incompatible with compassion. Feels like we need better options for horrified people.
Yeah, the magic thing I want to have is a financially viable approach to center-left local journalism, which can do a lot to build community. I don’t have a way to do that though.
Or the third option: you get the fuck out of the US while the getting is good … and then hope the US doesn’t end up invading whatever country you fled to.
(Edit: People be downvoting me… But imagine you’re a Jew living in Germany in, say, 1926. What’s your best option for surviving? Getting the fuck out of Germany while the getting is good … and then hope Germany doesn’t invade whatever country you fled to.)
