I did speak out already, back when I did not have to worry about being potentially murdered by the state (or at least not nearly as much) for it and voters were apparently were like "Eh lets give the fascist a second chance."

Like, my level of resentment out weighs my desire to save the people in this country. And I already legitimately have always wanted to live forever (I know I wont, shut the fuck up), let alone not die early. I'm not sticking my head out for my skull to be crushed by a brown shirt after I already have done what I've done.

I was going to try and scrounge enough to flee to Canada what with a decent amount of savings, passport, and a Software Engineering degree but after some set backs related to my car dying and the job market imploding basically everywhere I'm now worried I might be fucking stuck here for a while. So now I'm mostly just focused on keeping my head down.

Cool, well I guess if I see brown shirts dragging you out of your house I will just hold on to my resentments about folks staying home and not voting instead of helping you.

Good luck.

I might be misunderstanding your response, I voted, constantly (and annoyingly) advocated, and canvassed. I put my job at risk due to my efforts. I've cut off family as a result of my agitation.

My resentments are more generalized towards the country at large. But yeah, I can't reasonably expect you to save me if the brown shirts are already on top of me, that's not your burden to bare.

That's fair, it just seemed like you were ready to give up.

Honestly, the brown shirts are probably coming for me first.

I've been pretty doomerism ever since I watched that video couple days ago of that woman being taken. I know us trans folks are going to be next, and it is very likely that my neighbors are just going to watch it happen.
