I've written a lot here recently about what may happen, how scary it is, how scared *I* am, in part because I need a place to talk about it and in part because I think we all need to be talking about it and getting ourselves ready for what will come.
But I don't want that mistaken for lack of hope.

What is happening right now is happening because that resistance has been SO successful, and scared the shit out of forces of empire.
The Emperor has always been here. Trump is just the latest guise.
And this guise is decrepit, barely cogent, nakedly corrupt, and shored up by a team of weak, ignorant clowns.

It is a system built on lies and counterfactualism and reality always, always checks it.
This is a last gasp for a dying edifice of white power and for all the Horrors (and there are many) we need to understand it as such.
The more we can keep it from mauling the rest of us, the more we refuse to offer each other up as meals, the faster it will turn to its own flesh to feast.
That is the immediate game.
We need to remember that we WILL survive us. There will be wounded to tend and dead to warn, but collectively we will survive.
And we need to imagine a future worth looking forward to.
It will sustain us, and it will guide us through.
Losing hope is letting them win.
