I’ve got two elderly cousins, Black folks, one in Florida, the other on Cape Cod, both voted for #Felon47. One voted because she’s now an Opus Dei member & the other a Vietnam vet retired doctor. They’re lost. 😞
I’m reporting Maga who are Latino Hispanic fb accounts to ICE cos karma is a bitch- they love that they are causing pain for others so I don’t feel bad about turning them in
It's reading things like this, and I know it may not make sense to some, that make me feel so happy and proud to have been born black in America. I feel like I have a bigger head start on the empathy and humanity-centered view of life than some. Not saying life's easier but I like this about myself.
Like this statement below about the rich that you can also add being born with white privilege to, never having to experience & struggle like others do & endure all their lives just trying to be seen & treated as equal. Kinda poetic that it’s made ‘em weaker in the end
I thought I knew those type of folks of my acquaintance prior to the elections but I’m now finding others suddenly showing their true colors. Hurts even more!
My two sisters are so entrenched in their racism and Trump denialism that we have not spoken for two months. I anticipate this may be for the rest of my days
I hope once they actually experience a direct impact, many will wake up to the fuckery. 🤞 unfortunately, this seems to largely be a group that lacks critical thinking and must have something happen directly to them for them to believe it.
One of my sons voted for Trump. After insulting me I have not been talking to him since Nov 7th. He is mixed race and the father to daughters who are also part Alaska native. It sickens me that he has so little regard for the women in our family..his included.
I’m sorry to hear that. I myself am mixed race (Native American father/Jewish mother), and I don’t trust many people I’ve known my whole life, because they absolutely would turn me in if/when Trump gets to my ethnic group. I can’t imagine being Native and being around a Trumper. MAGA hates us.
It's time to start reporting your local republican businesses And demand they lock up the owners for harboring criminals. ICE has an online form. Look into restaurant kitchens, construction crew especially drywall and siding crews, landscaping, farming and the real biggy resorts,
1) My suspicion is there will be several Anne Frank's if this batshit is allowed to progress. No matter the election, when they start to come looking for your neighbors, their children, people won't just give them up. And you might find yourself on the same side with MAGA in some cases. It's funny
I just know the educations that they recurve from the state of TX. It helps me to understand. You can't know what you don't know. That's also why they're okay with ban books.
I know Kaylan. I am in Alabama and I don't recognize some of mine either. They won't know till THEY feel the pain he's causes so many. One family member is seeing it a little. She works with a group that helps LEGAL immigrants and their funding has stopped. It's just so wrong.
Ugh so true. Im from a small rural area and it’s almost all of them. I started a Pike Count Against Trump page at the end of his last term. It only has about 300 people. We have 16,000 in the population…
I fear what happens when they put up rewards for undocumented immigrants. Overheard some Repub regulars asking another longtime Greek regular, "Didn't you once say you overstayed your welcome? You ever get that fixed?" Referring to the fact his visa had run out a decade ago.
Organic families are the best. Some are truly related others are just great friends we've picked up on our journey. The plus side is you can decide who plays in the family sandbox. Don't let the others live in your head. Take care.
Spoiler alert: they were most likely that the whole time, it's just "acceptable" to be public about it now
I look back at the history of people I thought this about, and the signs were always there. They just never came out and said it cuz no one would associate with them if they did
The Republicans are going to make sure they erase Anne Frank from classrooms, text books, and libraries. Any subject that even hints at racial discrimination is too "woke" for Republicans.
A relative who’s an EOD tech (bomb armoring and disarming) in the military told me on election night that Trump was the better candidate. I said “How?” And he said “Because Kamala’s gonna make us go to war earlier”…..Yeah, okay buddy, you basically just got called to war already. Have fun!!
A stark difference to my uncle who’s in the Navy and works in cybersecurity for an NSA branch in Hawaii who was telling his mom (my grandma) that Kamala was going to do a lot to help a whole lot of people and that he was hoping that she’d win.
The Christian White Nationalists who claim to speak for God would say they must snitch in the name of Trumpism or suffer in Hell alongside Anne Frank - who still deserves it.
I understand but real power comes from pushing back, first against your depression and next against those motherfucking fascists. #Resistance #Antifa https://trueman-triola.stories.email/
I had to sever ties with my MAGA dad. He's fully embodied this whole "destroy the vulnerable". I'm at my most vulnerable time right now. He's become my biggest threat.
Nothing like feeling boiling hatred for people who you once loved. There is no coming back from this either. If you support him now you are evil and corrupt in your soul.
I feel the same. It's devastating. Most of them have been brainwashed, plain and simple. It was done successfully through data, ironically most of that data came from churches. https://youtu.be/8YWe89X4vRM?si=CAGPXWBBD1ZSXC70
Those states that are paying people to turn in suspected immigrants are the equivalent to the states where bounties were paid for scalps in the old West…..disgusting
My cousin posted she was doing a Thanksgiving turkey on Inauguration Day. Saying "amen" and all that BS. I posted, don't forget the Kool-Aid. I haven't heard for her since. 😆
I am grieving that this morning as I read the latest. How do you reckon with family who is happy to see aid taken from people who rely on it? Who is thrilled that their neighborhood will be more white?
How is it that we see things so differently? I think diversity makes life so much more interesting. I love talking to people who are different than me. Imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same! Why travel if you don’t want to experience different cultures? I don’t get it!
hell I have family I wouldn't tell where Anne Frank was hiding -- people who have just as much Jewish blood as I do. (for those who don't know me, we do. Through our mother yet.)
It’s what happened in the Civil War. How close are we? I don’t know but if something like the bird flu takes off and Trump has stopped the government from fighting it, that could be the inflection point. Or, catastrophic recession, a war, martial law? Take your pick.
The Great Me, Myself and I country. My pick-up trucks, my inground pool, my 85" 4k tv. Trump goin' after my innocent and hard working neighbors? Why would I care?
I don’t have friends who support the dictator. The people who were my friends and then voiced support for him are people I no longer associate with or talk to
I gave my maga sister grace in 2016. Not this time. She says I’m playing politics. I say, she’s too stupid to see the evil that is right in front of her. Or worse, she supports this cruel administration. Don’t care, I never liked her that much anyway.
A friend who used to be left of me, politically (& there’s not much room to my left) went full MAGA.
Me: so you’d vote for people who make the world less safe for me & my fam?
Her: if it came to that, I’d hide you.
Me: you just don’t get it. I wouldn’t trust you.
Exactly. I don't have a group of people I grew up with, but today, I can't even look at people with the opimism I had. I just see each adult I encounter as a 50-50 chance of them willingly being someone who would turn Anne Frank & any who helped her into trump's camps of disposable people.
Hopefully she will recover. However, if she does safe guards need to be put into place to keep it from EVER happening again! While the Constitution did have safeguards for this and states tried to use it the Supreme Court threw the baby out with the bath water. SO if we get past this something needs
Some of us know the pain. It is like watching them succumb to dementia, slowly die, or be captured by zombies, or Nazis from a time machine, captured by a hate/death cult, or turned into some sort of Manchurian candidate or sleeper cell woken up.
Here is the problem ....ill say it loud so the back can hear...IF THEY ARE OK WITH ANYTHING THAT THE REPUBLICAN OR MAGA SAY OR DO THEY ARE THAT...STOP SAYING WELL THEY ARE FAMILY OR FRIENDS THATS HOW WE GOT HERE STOP BEING NICE TO THEM TELL THEM THEY ARE FUCK DUMB OVER AND OVER ...!!
Yes, it’s sad. But as a 🌈 BBIPOC, I would rather know up front who they are and what they represent, than receiving their condescending smiles and pretending to like me.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Brown Shirts and the Clan came from the neighborhood. They did just magically appear. This latest generation are no different. Give them a pinch of this and a dash of that and you have history repeating itself.
I hope you have cut them all out of your life.
I am extremely disappointed in how many progressives are still socializing normalizing MAGA kluxer fascists. Is there a line yet? Jan 6 didn’t do it? Will the oncoming genocide?
Yes, it's amazing to me. People who *know* i have marginalized people in my family...they claim to love us but vote for someone who would unalive us if he could. All for cheaper eggs.
We don’t truly know people until they have the power to inflict massive harm. Millions chose despotism, knowing their family and communities would suffer.
They gave up their humanity, dignity, and, freedoms to be bullies and bootlickers. They’d have snitched on the Franks. They’d snitch on you.

I can’t imagine the headspace required to cheer on the mass deportation of immigrants, especially if they themselves are immigrants or 2nd generation
Even in those situations, you gray-rock them.
Wish there was a test but hey ho then we'd become like them in ways
Me: so you’d vote for people who make the world less safe for me & my fam?
Her: if it came to that, I’d hide you.

How will America ever recover from this?

Just like the US Civil War, it divided families.
