I am just so angry with Trump and so angry with the republicans who are supporting his insane bid to subvert democracy and so angry with the supporters who think that just because THEY want someone to be president that should be all that matters, and so angry with them for putting us all through this and so angry with them for allowing covid to destroy our country and lives while they focus on being spoilt babies having a tantrum about not getting their way. End of rant just want to scream into the void.
Same. I am pregnant (don't get pregnant in a pandemic my advice to everyone, we actually had been trying for a long time before and stopped but she snuck through somehow) and I just want to enjoy this time instead oe being constantly terrified that when I go to my doctor for an ultrasound or to the CVS that I will pick up covid and kill my baby or myself. It didn't have to be like this, we could have all worn the damn masks, distanced and sheltered in place and controlled the spread with aggressive testing and precautions. But instead people just have to go to the movies and cry about freedom as 911s happen each day. We also could have all voted for Hillary instead of crying about her fucking emails and we'd probably have a handle on this for the most part.
You went off the rails the moment you thought HRC could have solved all of your problems. I got pregnant Jan 2020 and went through the pandemic pregnant and wore a mask to get my prenatals at CVS. You will be OK.
@Anonymous You seem like a dumb bitch honestly. I didn't say HRC would solve all my problems, I said we would have a handle on it. Learn to read.
Where do you live? If you actually live somewhere that people are going to the moves you have bigger problems than my response. But I also don’t think pregnancy is some amazing time to enjoy and you are missing out. It’s always a major physical and emotional endeavor.
No need to scream. Republicans losing the Senate is one of the consequences of their actions. Democrats will soon control all three layers of government.
Do you mean if they stack the court?
I totally agree with you and share your rage. But it's not like we lived in a utopian paradise before this. This is a country that has enforced slavery and institutional racism and sexism, that has consistently turned away refugees, even from genocide (and committed genocide against the native population), and that literally takes from the poor to give to the extremely wealthy. It has always been broken and tragic.
Your ignorance of the history of immigration on this history is appalling.
right but hard to be so angry about the entire history of a nation. right now i am really angry about this specific thing - i just dont get how people are ok with his actions???
@Anonymous Guess you've never heard of the St. Louis
In the end I blame social media. it's not a big deal when one person is delusional and keeps it to himself. when you incite others to your hatred and violence that's real trouble. No filter, no kindness.
I agree that social media is a scourge and plays a big role in all this. But Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mussolini, Kim Jung Ill, etc. didn't have social media. There's something about human nature that leads to dictatorship and violence. Just in the 20th century there were numerous genocides, all carried out without Twitter or Facebook.
I agree. Many people in this world don’t want to think for themselves. They just want someone else to make decisions for them or tell them what to believe. And they want to feel like part of a larger community and like their lives are making a difference and that they are superior to other classes of human beings. So, they will rally around any person who can give them that feeling and camaraderie.
True. But doesn't it feel like more people can start it and perpetuate it even faster now?...
