Who do I want to be during this time? Because my mind is trying to force me down the dark path, a path of hopelessness, of anger. And there is a certain amount of that needed. What’s going on in this country is bad, it’s BAD bad. And I want to remind people of the facts instead of the rhetoric that pulls you down.
This is not time for half measures and this is not time for giving anyone associated with Trump the benefit of the doubt. Trump is a fascist, Elon is a fascist, and his administration are just riding it for the power.
And people are going to be hurt. Poor people, LGBTQ+ people, POC people, non-Christian people, people, people, people, people and more people are going to suffer, not only by the policies that are revoked or put in place, or by the information that is spread or hidden, but by the hate that this man embodies and encourages in the people around him.
This is not a time for half-measures. This is not the time for benefit of the doubt. Call him out for everything. It’s not going to be easy. Things are already in place. Papers bought, the Internet and social media quietly ‘hiding’ searches. You can’t do everything, and you can’t do it all the time, but it has to be done. And we’re not doing it alone. Remember that.
