The thing is during the first Trump admin I had at least had a framework of what fighting back looks like, but now, I've got nothing and this just has me shook.

What kept me going was I figured America would finally get tired of his crap...and they really didn't. Yeah, he lost in 2020 but it wasn't the obliteration he deserved, he actually got more votes than 2016, more still in 2024, and now here we are.
I’m not fighting shit. These assholes wanted him, and I hope they reap every part of what they sow. I’m taking care of me and mines and not engaging or watching the news. I’m on some “fuck em” shit, fr. Take care of yourself and stay as healthy as you can cause our fellow citizens DGAF.
This is pretty much how I feel. Like, OK, this is what our country wants I guess. Yall wanted to be stupid, so let's get stupid. I plan to be loud AF about how expensive everything is in polite society, though. They're going hear about how stupid they are.
The fight has to be financial and taking care of yours and surviving as best possible. Keeping a good frame of mind will be a win during his presidency
I hate that feeling. I've shifted focus to surviving, and using my skills/resources to help those also in danger survive as the admin eat each other's faces. We can't really fight back, so we have to nurture each other and build up alternatives to what they take from us.
What we know doesn't work? Regurgitating everything that is repugnant/corrupt about the PAB. This approach only makes his fans worship him more. Definitely no self-clowning, i.e., marching/letter writing. Trump Crime Fam will never relinquish power until we somehow stop the flood of misinformation.
I'm oscillating between "on some level I always knew it would come to this; otherwise I would have led a more peaceful existence" and "this can't be happening this can't actually happen" with increasing frequency.
Yup. Looking at everyone obeying in advance with the quickness is…concerning to say the least. Just read this article from @anandwrites.bsky.social that resonates though https://the.ink/p/how-to-live-under-trump-ii
Honestly I’m limiting my news intake and spending less time on social. I need to get my bearings before I can feel strong to see this through again. Rest is resistance.
