the promise of bidenism was that things were going to go back to Normal, and the hope was that people would choose Normal over fascism. it turns out people don't like Normal--or at least, not enough. we have got to promise not just a return to "the way things were"--but a *new future.*

I absolutely don't think that we'd have a world with trans people being accepted if we hadn't put people on the moon. I don't think we're going to keep moving forward until we wrest the idea of accomplishing great, magical-seeming things from conmen and put them back in the public sphere
