Thank you. It gets so tiring seeing these people constantly shouting "WhY ARen't YOu FIGhtinG bAck?" Whenever someone expresses fear about what's been happening. Oh I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a little preoccupied wondering how my family and I are going to fucking survive the next four years in the first place.

My wife's disabled, we've got multiple autistic kids, my health isn't the greatest, I'm trans but luckily I can still play cis. We can only afford to live because my wife gets Social Security Disability, and we have Medicaid and SNAP. All things they're certainly going to be targeting. Yeah we'll likely be shielded from some of the worst of this living in a blue state but I'm not sure how much even that's going to protect us anymore.

Not me taking my morning adderall dose on a chill day so I can get my brain to shut up and let me go back to bed.

"Surely they don't mean me, I'm one of the good ones." The magic words that let people that are part of any group they screech about vote for him. No honey, they mean you too.

In a different circumstance definitely. In this one though it's most likely Bibi taunting everyone else and shouting "Nyeh nyeh! I got away with it!"

Last numbers I saw is that Trump more or less got the same amount of votes as 2020 while Harris got 15 million less votes than Biden.

You're telling me that a Shrimp fried this rice?

He's being forced by the fact that it's the only way he sees to stay out of jail basically lol. All those "Democrat Witch Hunts" are really getting to him.

No shortage of Christian terrorism. Just ask any abortion clinic nurse.

The clinic that did the selective termination that saved my twins' lives had to be so cloak and dagger about their stuff that we literally had no idea we were showing up to the termination until they're wheeling my wife back to surgery. It's one of the only clinics in the state that even does the procedure we needed to my knowledge. That's how many bomb threats, arson and assassination attempts they deal with.

To my knowledge the only sections of wall he's built were funded by Trump's Congress before he left office. Meaning he had little choice but to spend the money on what Congress appropriated it for.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not live in a world where someone like Trump can just decide he doesn't want to spend portions of the money Congress appropriated. He could just suddenly decide that the federal government isn't going to pay like Medicaid or SNAP.

My son can be a hell of a smart ass at times as all 12 year old kids can be. He's autistic, was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, the whole 9. But it's the damnedest thing, when I talk to him like he's a person with his own agency, treat him with dignity and respect, and explain to him why I want something from him he happily hops right up and does exactly what I ask. It's the craziest thing.

Yep, like anything with the goal of changing behaviors it all comes down to what behaviors you're targeting, why you're targeting them, and how you're planning to discourage the targeted behavior and enforce the desired replacement.

It's great if you're trying to change behaviors that cause the autistic person distress and interfere with them living a fulfilling and happy life, but horrible if you're aim is to just enforce blind conformity for the sake of it.

My wife is autistic as are at least 2 of our 3 kids, with the third awaiting his own evaluation. She studied ABA in college because when you tell a woman with autism and severe OCD that actually a lot of human behavior is ordered and explainable if you understand the underlying reasons the behaviors exist she tends to jump on it to explain all of the "stupid social bullshit" she's had to deal with all her life.
