Vive la résistance, Brother Kick.
For me, it’s exactly the same as it essentially has been since 2016. The world is not on my side and if you are like me it is not on yours either.
Remember, the world was always against us.
We are The Losers, the creeps, the weirdos. We are The underdogs that nobody roots for and that’s the way it has always been.
Nothing has actually changed for us, Kamala was not an ideal president, she was just not Trump. Same for Biden. We haven’t had a good president since Jimmy Carter, Obama had the potential but had the Senate and the house against him the whole time.
I am anxious about the future, about all of the potential terror that we may face over the next 4 to 40 years.
All we can do is all we have been able to do.
Help each other out.
Care.
Shine a light no matter how dark the world gets.
This too shall pass.

I understand and agree. For many people in our country, it hasn’t been a pleasant ride regardless of who is president. I think we’re all going to think of the Biden years as the golden years in the not too distant future though. Goodbye EPA, network neutrality, the FCC, National parks and every other safeguard we have in place. We’re going back to full on robber baron times.
What I truly don’t get is, why do the oligarchs in the US want a shitty and abused country? So their number is a little higher? It’s no fun being around cities where the people are depressed and unhappy. Look at Dallas or Orlando, soulless and empty. I guess we’re supposed to be the workers for the rich people’s disneyland. Weeeee.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m pissed at the people who voted against themselves. The first time we could give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn’t know what was coming. Now they do. Their jealousy, pride, narcissism, sexism and racism took us all down. This is the R’s (that includes Russia), the trump voters and the media’s fault. No one else’s.
The billionaires and Russia won. We’re sorry Ukraine, Taiwan and any other country we’re going to abandon. We all understand why you’re super pissed, we are too.
Here are the 5 stages of grief for the US and how we’re not great anymore. How we’re actually racist, sexist POS:
- Denial
- Anger
- Bargaining
- Depression
- Acceptance
I personally am at acceptance. No liberal tears here. I hope the least amount of people get killed, raped, separated from their families and tortured. I don’t have a lot of hope on that front. I’ll help where I can.
If you voted for him, I just don’t give a shit about you anymore. Nada. Good luck.
Said stages are not a ladder/linear progression, FWIW.
That’s a good point, you jump around and combine. Sometimes within an hour. I think I’m at acceptance full on though.
As someone who’s lived slightly more years than number of deaths of friends, loved ones, and relatives on both ends of the generational spectrum, I’d never agreed with the “order” of that metric (which is, thankfully, becoming recognized as entirely unhelpful at best).
Salient point, before I’m too stoned to convey it: seek your joy, and hunt/craft/attain it. Our collective ability to uplift each other begins with self-care, and we owe it to each other as much as to our own selves. 💜✊🏼🖖🏽
