That is precisely the reason for the existential dread this has brought to my life as I ponder what kind of world will be left to my kids when I die.

I can’t even rest assured that people in power after Trump will not be Trumpists, and even if I could be assured of that, I’m not at all sure we’re going to get all this shit fixed before whatever the next catastrophe is.

I expect to die of old age in a world where we have not yet returned to at least as good as where things were when Trump took over. (and there was already a lot of fucked up shit then.)

And as someone who has spent nearly six decades rooting for humanity in most ways, I’m pretty fucking disappointed that we dropped the ball this hard on this one.

Or his views on seemingly eating toe nails right off of his feet in public.

I feel that’s a personal matter though. Stallman can have whatever opinion he wants on that one.

Have we ever lived in a more stallmanwasright.jpg time?

Trump will make sure he gets what he needs anyhow, no worries.

Probably for being a tongue in cheek answer to a serious question. I accept my fate. It’s only fucking Tuesday we all need to get our joy where we can. 😁

It was exceptionally tongue in cheek, but I acknowledge the US-centric nature of my drivel.

They’re the same picture.

I gotchu fam.

• If you think Kamala was a good choice (vs the expedient one) you are a Liberal.

• If you think Bernie would be ideal you are a Democratic Socialist.

• If you agree with people like Charlie Kirk, you are Conservative.

• If you think one single thing Trump is doing is anything other than to serve the interests of himself, Putin, and various oligarchs, you’re a Maga.

(Sorry, best I can do on short notice.)

I can see it alright. My vote 3.5 years from now doesn’t impact what Trump does next week though. How Dem leadership reacts when he does it might impact that vote though.

Thanks! 🙂

No one even knows what my half of the proposition is, but that’s alright! I’m only one vote! (which is the other thing everyone seems to be forgetting)

A lot of branches of the far left are authoritarian, and they deserve the same treatment as fascists for the same reasons.

Ok, I’ll agree in principle!

It’s almost like I’m expected to uncritically serve up my vote to them for not being the other party.

If it really is exactly like that (and clearly it is) this has been a waste of both our times, frankly.

No one seems to be interested in asking what I’d want to see to vote for them, only that I’m wrong for the vote that I might or might not cast in 3.5 years time, which I find very interesting on an intellectual level.

I think there have been a lot of articles showing the protest votes didn’t move the needle in a way that could have impacted the outcome, but I’m prepared to be shown I’m wrong.

Very good points!

Have the day you plan to vote for.

I don’t have a plan yet. No one seems to be interested in asking what I’d want to see to vote for them, only that I’m wrong for the vote that I might or might not cast in 3.5 years time, which I find very interesting on an intellectual level.

Well it seemed like this was becoming an actual conversation where you responded to what I was saying instead of whatever you are reading into things. This is about as much as I feel like dealing with in the way of rudeness right now, so have a good one.
