100% this. Coming out of an extended hyper focus is not only exhausting, it’s untenable. The burnout feels awful.

Remember, every temporary solution is a permanent one! It’s always spooky when it works the first time.
If only this logic actually applied. Maybe they wouldn’t make anti-trans laws in that shithole state?
But trans rights weren’t a big focus for Dems. In fact we were routinely dismissed or outright thrown under the bus. The article talks about that, the GOP completely outspent on trans rights by 9x. At best, Dems promised to simply keep our existing rights. We showed up despite that, so they managed to reach us and our loved ones by virtue of promising not to try to kill us.
Your suggestion that Dems should focus on jobs and stuff is valid. How does supporting trans folk have anything to do with that? And, considering how rock-bottom the response was against these anti-trans ads, why is this even being discussed as part the problem?

I don’t care about their safety anymore. They don’t care about mine. What’s that phrase they like to regurgitate? FAFO?
Hope you’re fucking happy.
I’m not gonna contest that there’s an unfortunate number of countries where it’s illegal to be LGBTQ+. However it’s not “just a handful” where it’s legal, stop talking out of your ass.
Go look for yourself if you want to see where it’s actually illegal. Not on my short list of vacation spots. https://www.humandignitytrust.org/lgbt-the-law/map-of-criminalisation/
“Hey everyone, I’m a trans gamer wh-”
:gets flagged, demonitzed, and mass reported:
Yes, some people are that sensitive. No, I did not just exaggerate. I would never wish for your identity to be boiled down to a “sensitive societal issue”. It should be a non-issue. They are wrong for doing this.
According to JD “Couch-Fucker” Vance, I transitioned at 32 years old to… get into Harvard or Yale? Or become a DEI hire? I already have a degree and was already gainfully employed. I actually lost rights and privilege transitioning. I’m just a woman, simple as that. Maybe if he finally comes out of the furniture store and embraces his true self, he could get past this? This man is fucking dangerous and creepy as fuck.
He’s hanging out in the passenger side of his best friend’s ride, trying to holler at me?
No. Clearly the solution is to continue to abandon anyone outside the US because they don’t matter. /s
Good to know our American citizens mean fuck-all to you then.
But more directly: HOW are you going to work on it? Who is gonna do that? The capitalist/imperialist who you’ve pledged your vote to unconditionally?
It’s not unconditional. If you root yourself in reality for a few minutes, you’ll see we have three choices:
Which are you picking? I don’t see any actionable grand solutions or saints coming from you and your ilk. I do not have answers on how to fix it, and I doubt :checks watch: 6 days before the election is enough time to figure it out.
To be abundantly clear, I do not like these choices. None of them. The only one I can stomach is the second one, and there does not appear to be any viable alternatives right now.
Ask me more about my life story! So far you have this:
As for your sports team context, if I played this like sports, I’d turn the TV off. Unfortunately, I was kidnapped and placed on the field in a cage, and if one side wins I get shot. The other side wins and I get to hang out in the cage some more. There’s a small contingency in the crowd calling to burn the stadium down with everyone on the field (including me) and half of the crowd going down with it. /m
Oh, also, apologies about missing all of the tone tags. /gen
Then I guess a bit of critical thinking will need to be applied. My comment was very obvious sarcasm.
/nbr, /ay but also /nay
Are you worried because someone might think me, a trans woman, is advocating for the internment of everyone who is not a white cishetero male Christian nationalist in favor of trains running in time? Cause… Me too honestly.
/gen
I get that the state of the US is abysmal, but if anyone is taking that comment seriously I hope they choke on a shotgun. /srs
/nay
Do you honestly think people would take my first comment seriously? /gen A simple perusal of my post history shows how much I fucking loathe Trump and republicans and I’m starting to get sick of hearing solutions to our government that amount to “stop compromising and burn it to the ground” without any regard for the consequences or reality. /lh
EDIT: That last portion after my question was /nay, just to be clear. There’s others in these comments who are basically saying that because everything sucks or kinda sucks we need to end it, even if it hurts other people. /gen
But it’s fun and he keeps clapping his little flippers!!!
(Also you right)
Trump has praised Hitler multiple times and is clearly a fascist. It makes sense that people compare him to Hitler, given the latter is the defacto example of extreme fascism.
The fact you made the comment that you made on this post tells me “good faith argument” isn’t in your repertoire.
“Y’know, the Aurora Borealis was visible within my kitchen recently.”
“Yeah, no, I heard about that. That’s crazy man. Was that this past winter?”
“No, mid-May. Completely localized to my Kitchen in Springfield.”
“Wow, that’s wild. Yeah.”
