Could do something both visible and useful in fighting fascism: wear a mask. You can protect yourself as well as people more vulnerable than you. A simple action that does something concrete at the same time.

I believe my chronic issues were likely a combo of having (unconfirmed) Covid in March 2020 and then Moderna. Many unique symptoms I had while sick came back after the vaccine and stayed back. Plus some shorter term side effects of the vax like arm pain for over a month.

I wasn’t trying to fight either. Just explain further. I don’t think it’s easy for everyone, just that it can become easier/easy with experience because the tells are definitely there. We just have to really believe them when they show us who they are.

And of course, they aren’t truly happy or at home within themselves in any real way. That absolutely is a huge tell.

But you can. You’ve assuredly known mean girls like that since middle school. The signs are there, if you look for them. They can make you feel amazing, and often do many great helpful things. But they’ll be judgmental and hurtful too. Often under the guise of being helpful.

That *is* mean though. The fact they hide behind courtesy and niceness (can’t “ally with power no matter who it hurts” and be kind) doesn’t change that fact. It just may make it harder to sort out before you know them well, and make it harder to trust people generally once you clearly see them.

Is it possible that they manage to fix elections for themselves?
Yes, but we do not preemptively hand it to them.
We yell and shout and demand journalists loudly cover every single overstep, every cheat, all of it.
We refuse to let them manufacture the illusion of popular mandate.
