I’ve already cast down my bucket where I am. I have no realistic prospects of leaving the country. It’s quite possible that the humble but still prospering niche I’ve carved for myself in the last year is in imminent danger, maybe even at a personal level.
I’ll say it. I’m afraid. I knew nothing good could come of this election, but having one particular brand of fascism without even performative opposition to slow down whatever acts of revenge or just outright looting and mayhem it wants to do while the climate crisis accelerates… well, I’ll say it again. I’m afraid.
That’s the post.
Call me a lib but I’m still doomeristic about the results.
Liberals are so ineffectual that they have fully lost the culture wars. Climate change and pollution will accelerate and make the air much worse, more and more lgbt rights are going to be cut and for eight years straight the GOP has been on fire.
Democrats are officially a third party as far as I’m concerned.
A lot of people are going to get hurt more than before, especially those perceived as enemies of the winners of the culture war.
I have nothing funny to say about this. Humor about this escapes me now.
The only bright side is this may foment an actual hashtag resistance
If I don’t find a way to laugh about this and transmute the disgust I feel for the average white amerikan into spite and mirth, I think I’m going to pop a vessel and go straight-up CARVER.
…I might be jokerfying in real time i dunno
