I wish I didn’t wake up angry every day at the loss of my country. America has never been perfect, and it never will be perfect, but it used to be a hell of a lot better than this.

We felt like this with Brexit and the ruse of the far right in the UK. Undoubtedly what's happened in America is much worse, for all of us. Your rage is valid. It is better than despair. I hope so anyway.
It really bothers me to be this angry and to hate a person so much I want him to disappear forever, it is taken a toll on my health. These days are just horrid! 😢
1500 brown shirts ready, MAGA gun owners ready, Boebert PERSONALLY guiding them through Congress. Is Boebert trying to beat out MTG to become trump's Eva Braun? America's youth are not protecting themselves from Fascists. Social platforms isolated a generation into a bubble of their own making.
yeah... the last few months have been a lot of wrestling with the idea that this country may not have been worth giving nine of the best years of my life to the military
It has always been very hard for Black people. I hope that now that the white people on the left are starting to understand what it feels like to wake up in a country that’s hostile towards you when this is over that you all will make it a priority to make sure Black people are treated EQUALLY.
i’m sorry to hear that Kelly, I’m not physically affected in any way except by being stressed and extremely overtired from overthinking. But I’m tired of living in a nightmare.
I feel abandoned and I’m sure I’m not alone.
I cannot eat comfortably My stomach will not accept food easily anymore I'm literally sick from this The mental health of America is gone Been gone I'm just so f****** tired tired of fighting for it and here we are We have taken the place of the Jews in Nazi Germany. Now I know what they did,,😭
I’ve lost 20 pounds in the last 90 days. I’m 65, unable to exercise much due to chronic illnesses. I simply have no appetite and only eat small portions.
I am disabled as well I can't get around good but I have lost the weight that I've been wanting to lose for years. I had two years of steroids and antibiotics a few years back ,,blew me up
The majority of what I was taught (except Math) most of my life from Catholic grade school through Catholic high school has been an illusion of America and the world. We were lied to and history was whitewashed. I no longer have the illusion of America or Religion. We’re on our own.
got that T-shirt except I will say apart from the religious nonsense the nuns who taught me did a thorough job. When I switched to public HS after being in parochial schools through 10th grade my last 2 years did not measure up with the exception of 2 or 3 teachers to the thoroughness of those nuns.
I only had nuns until 6th grade. I was scared to death of most of them. I learned history and geography. However, the text books were all right wing slanted as were all the teachers I had. College is where I was able to break out of that shell. A Jesuit Catholic University.
Further, we are disappointing our allies who once admired us. Our elected officials have failed us and a chunk of our citizens are favoring their crazy policies.
Well, we *thought* it was better, but apparently that was wishful thinking. The voters who chose this direction for all of us were here before the election, too. Now we’re just more aware of how awful a large percentage of the U.S. population actually is. 1/2
Members of minority groups tried to tell us. But the majority of white people didn’t listen. I thought I was listening, but their message obviously didn’t sink in fully for me because I was really hopeful before the election and completely disgusted and disappointed afterwards. 2/2
I used to think that if anyone ran the world, it should be the US. Lot of backstory to that statement. Suffice it to say they weren't perfect, but at least they tried. No longer can I say that. Now, not only will they not try, but they won't care.
but quite frankly women are still second-class citizens in many places, unable to control their own futures and their own bodily integrity. People of any color other than white are still persecuted in many places.
And though that “assassination attempt” in Pennsylvania in which two people were killed was clearly a put up job, not one thing has been done to punish those responsible and depose the monster for whom it was arranged and carried out.
I’ve been reading the books by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social to find out just how dirty that water is. Books like ‘They Knew’ and ‘Hiding in Plain Sight’. It’s disturbing stuff; no wonder she call herself a nonfiction horror writer.
Watching from the UK & seeing my own country sliding into the same madness I feel so sad for Americans. Your values & principles have been an example for all to follow. I hope that the good people will outlast the bad 🤞
We've not lost our country. The citizens, world and our lawyers are speaking up and putting a stop to his fuckery. We aren't just rolling over and accepting it.

but thanks, Sam.
I feel exhausted almost every day from the effort of dealing with nothing but bad news.
Now I see it as a country that will do great bad things.

My theory is, it’s all by design. Keep us at each other’s throats while you cash in.
Unfortunately, there’s a plethora of people on the right that buy into this shit every time
“The US is not what we think it is.”
There is a huge river of dirty water flowing under many bridges.
