There are some who say “your life won’t change much when trump is President” and I get why they’re saying that in the sense that I’m well off and a citizen who was born here to parents who aren’t gonna be deported either, but all else aside fuck yourself, I have a conscience

The deficit only "matters" when the other party is in power
Me, looking over his long history of bankruptcies and failures: ...FUCK. OFF.
When did empathy become a dirty concept?
So that's why capitalism pushes for hyper individualism and hatred of fellow man
Liberals: "But what about them?"
Here to say the same thing,
I think about it often.
But omg 2017 seems like a lifetime ago. Well worth a read, or re-read.

I honestly think we're mostly in for crazy chaos and not much getting done, but...
PS. The Fed Gov has far less control of your personal life than you think & much less than the state where you reside
Seems like an ICE agent with a fascist bent could harass and temporarily detain pretty much anyone they wanted.

(and I don't want this to sound mean, but once the incoming president unleashes his dogs, unless your name is Bill Smith, you really won't be safe)
I appreciate your sentiments. Just don't get too comfortable.

They're so crazily naïve.
Nothing is going to be the same , for anyone.
People who haven't lived in autocracy and mafia states, have no idea what's coming for them.
When they start reducing social security and Medicare and they continue to get elected that’s when these poor naive souls will know.
To accept the truth would admitting that they have been duped.
And that would be far more painful to them than any loss of money.
Instead, they will do what they have always done - find some way to blame the actions of Republicans on the Democrats.
No matter how much money one has or what their race or gender orientation, if you cross the authority you are punished.
Yes, the most marginalized will be hit first/hardest.
But: do you eat food? Breathe air? Need hospitals? Congrats, you're fucked, too--eventually.

2) “not changing that much” has already put my life in danger were I to get pregnant in my state with complications.
Some may, not all, and the ones who know he is at fault will stay home in the midterms
I'm only at two to three months, though, that is eating as regular. If we had to scale back, I am sure it would last much longer.
Thank you for your time.
"A republic, if you can keep it"
Terrible times ahead
I survived Biden, you’ll survive Trump.

Like they’re anywhere near the same.
