i've seen at least one person post "oh my god the coup is starting" at least once since he was sworn in. do you want to start a coup? because, you know, you could do that instead of posting in increasingly panicked tones.
I might just put my phone down because I made the mistake of making a political opinion and white people are yelling at me like a kid. Can't take it right now.
People gravitate towards absolute despair or irrational optimism because the idea that absolutely no one has any fucking idea what is going on right now is terrifying. People want to believe we're in Nazi Germany because at least then they know what comes next
The other side is making this exact same mistake, by the way. They *also* desperately want to believe that we are in Nazi Germany, because they're a bunch of dorks who desperately want to be the Nazis. But they aren't the Nazis, this isn't 1933, and they're in danger of overextending themselves.
I see this five hours late and honestly. I needed to hear this. Wish I saw as soon as it was posted but alas. Iām gonna play steam deck and drink tea and tune out. Aftermath is good people.
