      Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.

      I just don’t understand people. My partner’s brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I’m hoping we don’t have to rely on him for anything but I’m also weirdly grateful that he’s my partner’s brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.

        Yes, that’s me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn’t as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.

        And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don’t get it. He hasn’t been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don’t get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump’s.

            Thanks! It’s not a job I’m dying for, so I’m thinking of it more as practice, but I will take anything if it means we can get over there in January and afford basic things like a home and food.

          The only thing I can figure out is they’re extremely low-information voters whose thought process was something like “prices high, Biden’s fault, Trump not Democrat, vote for him.”
