Meanwhile Trump flew down to Mara-Lago to watch some fucking golf tournament, which NO ONE is reporting. While the stock market is falling into the fucking Marianas Trench. But Fox is telling everyone NOT to give a fuck about their 401K now because...random hand gestures. FUUUUUUUCK.
Thank you for putting in words how I have dealt with life post Trump 2.0. I'm doing the skimming the surface, which lets plenty of unpleasantness in, and consuming on my terms because it feels necessary for any degree of sanity. The last paragraph especially hit home.
The comfort thing is something I've been thinking about a lot. Many of us live comfortable existences that are way closer to uncomfortable than we'd care to admit. Something like 50% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from not being able to pay for their housing.
This (from the article): ...because the people in charge of things have decided to rip the heart out of the government and replace it with a motherboard.
Thanks for putting the feelings into words.
Everyday has been "Why am I going to work right now? I should be doing...something."
I do it for my family and I'm constantly terrified that they're going to make us lose everything.
I went to the USMNT third place game the other day (yea we suck) and honestly had a tough time putting on my USA Kit. The players are even unlikable and everything just feels gross at this point. It’s a crappy feeling to be so embarrassed about your country.
