I cast my vote over a week ago by mail. Almost everyone I know has voted, even those who don't normally vote. But we're waiting for results coming in starting tomorrow to know-- Will we continue as the imperfect democratic republic that we are? Or will we succumb to lies and hate and become a fascist autocracy or even an oligarchy run by billionaires from other countries?
That's on the ballot this year. A lot of people are angry and frustrated and believe the con put out by MAGA and it's cronies because they're mad and they want revenge and think the bullies will actually stand up for THEM for once. (Hint: They won't!) And things only got this fractured because the Dems abandoned the white working class for the globalists.
Le sigh...
I've kept up with the news, but I've been dreading it too. We're so close to total danger and the idiots who back Trump don't seem to realize what they're doing. I know you're not supposed to insult the other side, because it doesn't work to change their minds, but honestly-? I don't care anymore because it's clear they won't change their minds until their heads are on the chopping block, and they are! Once Trump is in power, they literally won't matter anymore because this is a greedy power grab, pure and simple. They're all tools, listening to propaganda encouraged by Russia and other enemies like North Korea and all sorts of terrorist groups in the Middle East.
It doesn't matter how true this is, many people can't or won't go against their "group" norms, let alone take a breath and wonder if maybe they've been lied to and tricked. No one wants to admit they're stupid-- especially the stupid. And I'm sorry, but this shit is RETARDED.
We're all going to hold our breath and try not to scream as the election results come in. I'm fucking exhausted by all the bullshit, and I'm hardly alone. This lack of reality agreement due to allowing lying as "free speech entertainment" in news, like FOX, OAN, and Newsmax, has to be fixed or our democracy will dissolve. If it isn't, there will be another Mussolini-like Trump, or worse, someone more Hitler-like.
Stay tuned... because if Trump wins, I'm going to have to start dismantling my free speech presence online! Or I could be in line to be killed, like anyone else who isn't deemed "worthy" by Trump and his mean minions. Yes, it is just that fucking serious people!
I really wish it wasn't.
