Radicalized, even

delphglobetrot1.bsky.social•89 days ago

I’m trying to stay optimistic while counting on this old karma thing.

That Joe Biden for sucking so hard for so long.

barely-sane.bsky.social•89 days ago

They didn't teach the word "hubris" in school in South Africa. And it must not be in the video games he plays. But the gods punish those with excessive pride and self-importance. At least in theory. In the US, it's less than certain.

ozarkoutrider.bsky.social•88 days ago

True enough.

huffandpuff.bsky.social•89 days ago

Not only democrats, how about the world.

thatbalddude.bsky.social•89 days ago

Not demoralized. More like exhausted

el-zee-ethel.bsky.social•89 days ago

Same. I am distraught and mournful over what could have been.

heathertlynn.bsky.social•89 days ago

It’s like the upside down world, but they don’t SEE it.

akchaos.bsky.social•89 days ago

So am I.

mereycat.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yup, I'm done for now😞

allmylovesteph.bsky.social•89 days ago

Same 😔

capthowdy777.bsky.social•88 days ago

That is where I am all day, every day. I wish some of my new friends would talk to me. I am taking all of this very hard.

tmurp1953.bsky.social•89 days ago

“Going high” didn’t work out so well….

wildernessong.bsky.social•89 days ago

....and watching self-described progressive Democrat pundits and commentators slam the Democratic party, its leaders and its representatives. So much crap.

j-everett.bsky.social•89 days ago

For the safety of the people I care about, I couldn't remain demoralized and have replaced those feelings with a righteous anger and determination to fight these fascists and their normalizers in the news media. There was once a resistance. This time we're going to need a mass movement.

cascada57.bsky.social•77 days ago

demoralizing indeed when according to the insurrection act he shouldn't even be allowed to run for office, demoralizing indeed to watch S Korea actively get rid of a dictator wannabe, demoralizing indeed that we are just calmly walking into a catastrophe in the making

democracyloves.bsky.social•89 days ago

Same

knighthawk899.bsky.social•88 days ago

Girl, same! It hurts more because I had this idea that, surely *now* trump will lose some support. Knowing that 76 million plus fellow Americans, knew exactly what he did and didn't care is a different kind of pain.

mimimagoo.bsky.social•88 days ago

I’m so sorry. So am I. I vacillate between rage and terror.

phoenixiam.bsky.social•89 days ago

And now watching them criticize Biden.

roba83.bsky.social•89 days ago

Yep, watching it all go by in a blur. Trump choosing his Cabinet and staff is pretty fucking close to Hedley Lamar in Blazing Saddles listing the criminals he want to terrorize Rock Ridge, including they guy who said he liked rape.

bluedunmedia.bsky.social•88 days ago

Fuck that, I'm not demoralized, I'm Irish, I'm pissed and I'm looking for a fight!

conserveletters.bsky.social•89 days ago

I'm demoralized, but I will still share this.

skepitcaldoc.bsky.social•89 days ago

Dems need a coherent message for the working class. They didn't have one. Now we have this mess. Trump bad was never going to work. People will vote for anyone if they think it will help them somehow.

kdidee13.bsky.social•89 days ago

I wake up in the middle of the night worrying, with a pit in my stomach. What is going to happen to us? Not just us, what will happen to the fucking world?

dizappearingact.bsky.social•89 days ago

And all you hear is “who’s ready to fight for democracy?” And my demoralized ass be like “fight who?”

abbylynn55.bsky.social•89 days ago

Right there with you!

mollyhendrix.bsky.social•89 days ago

I’m with jasmine crockett…stop bringing a butter knife to a serious knife fight!! C’mon. Your lack of action may just cost us our democracy. Unless we fight back hard enough!!!! Do not obey in advance.

trinvin.bsky.social•89 days ago

Don't worry, Trump will meet his match — himself.
Trump is his own worst enemy.

alwaysmarycoogan.bsky.social•89 days ago

Oh they realize it
They just can't get it together to stop it
They prefer talking about Biden pardoning his son

susanelizabethcox.bsky.social•89 days ago

And our leaders are out of touch with us. They see us as donors not partners.

laresistance47.bsky.social•89 days ago

He should be in the big house, not in the White House!

I blame merrick Garland

lvhothead2483.bsky.social•89 days ago

esitrot.bsky.social•89 days ago

I feel this with intensity.

rfdude.bsky.social•89 days ago

I'm mad as hell, just haven't decided yet how to direct the energy into avenues that will help. Was deeply involved in the Indivisible movement 8 years ago, perhaps it made a difference then but I'm afraid that's not going to hack it this time.

Knees flexed, staying balanced, considering options.

fichefindr.bsky.social•88 days ago

I am leaving the Democratic party.

cosmicdude.bsky.social•89 days ago

rgh1205.bsky.social•89 days ago

Here is my (feeble) attempt to cheer you up.
This is entirely logical if you let oligarchs and Christian fanatics take over.
We need to get American voters realize personal freedom was the reason for the Constitution.

Not the price of eggs.

doubleadub.bsky.social•89 days ago

We destroy him in 4 years. We install a destroyer who will do their job fast and in detail. And if they accept a delay even once they will be fired. All the judges will be held in contempt. We must destroy them all. Destroy our justice system and put Garland in prison. He is a traitor!!

leightouchton.bsky.social•88 days ago

I’m not demoralized. I’m pissed off. Midterms 2026

Beyond.

neil-1936.bsky.social•88 days ago

True!

mari-moxy.bsky.social•89 days ago

Me too!

lusadler.bsky.social•88 days ago

I keep looking for the silver lining though. Yikes. I got nothing.

lifeinthatwp.bsky.social•88 days ago

It's not so much the law breaking, it is how remarkably few conservatives are willing to hold him accountable. System cannot work if one side are near total outlaws.

theskipperssister.bsky.social•89 days ago

Put your trust in karma, the universe, the big ear, or a loving God.

keithbro.bsky.social•89 days ago

Rebuild stronger.

keithbro.bsky.social•89 days ago

I consider it a challenge.

miepg.bsky.social•89 days ago

Agree

tiffanybh.bsky.social•88 days ago

Same. But will keep working at local level. I would ❤️ historical analysis of similar electoral turn out and the psychology behind it if anyone has a data-based take. I’m not that interested in pundit speculation at this point.

vlesions.bsky.social•89 days ago

Demoralized, perhaps.

Incredibly motivated, absolutely yes.

#BlueCrew 💙👊

jodiwrk.bsky.social•89 days ago

Beyond! Its the wild west out there. Nothing matters. Anything goes. These people are lawless.

tazzysim.bsky.social•88 days ago

I’m personally done. Let him burn it down. Apparently the American experiment has failed.

fantasyfoodie.bsky.social•88 days ago

Me too

anaj1.bsky.social•89 days ago

And the media …

pdxeleven.bsky.social•89 days ago

Alllll that shit we did and most of it for free. I feel led to the slaughter tbh

chrisvrennashairdo.bsky.social•89 days ago

There are no off seasons. Take a salt tablet, walk it off, and get fucking angry at this motherfucker. We might have to do some Korean shit real fucking soon.
