    Ew. If I had a partner who’d voted for Trump, we’d be done.

    “Oh but Mossy, you’re so heartless, how could you-”

    Bitchass motherfucker, I’m trans. That should be all I have to say.

    Imagine your husband voting for a racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic rapist who runs for a political party which has openly advocated for genocide both abroad and on US soil, and not divorcing him for his complete and utter lack of morality. Fucking gross.

    My husband has changed his mind Political positivity Guys, Hubbs has been vaguely Trumpy for 10 years because he was of the opinion that “all of them are corrupt” or whatever. His extended family is MAGA but we are definitely not (wife, teenage son, teenage daughter). It has been a major point of contention in our marriage. But he admitted to me today that he has totally switched sides. He said that after the first 2 weeks of this new administration, he realized that this guy is a total jackass and this new thing with Iran is totally wrong. It took a lot for him to admit this. So…progress!

      If this is real, that’s progress. It takes a lot to change heavily entrenched views like that, especially when most of your social circles support them as well. Now, we can rant and rave until the cows come home about how he supported Trump AT ALL while married to someone who didn’t, but that’s not especially productive.

      I’m more hopeful than I was at the beginning of the year. Still very dire situation out there but the chances are looking better that an honest midterm can happen and hopefully carry through to 2028

        Hope is for the weak. Nothing wrong with being weak tho, but understanding our capabilities makes us a bit tougher

      Please don’t propagate this sentiment. It’s defeatist, and makes it easier for fascists to make it happen

          While you’re at it, here’s an idea for the new name: Tyrannical Dictatorship of the Oppressed States of America.

              You don’t. If you’re born on one side of the wall, that’s exactly where you’ll stay. DOGE decided that this way we can enhance the efficiency of all immigration, tourism and all travel related bureaucracy. No paperwork, no employees needed. So much cheaper that way.

      Then why are Republicans so scared to actually DO anything characteristic of a single-party state? Why do so many of them still distance themselves somewhat from what Trump is doing? Why can’t they agree on a single fucking bill??? This kind of Doomerist Accelerationism talk will actually lead to that “No Elections” future you’re so convinced of.

      Get off the internet for a while, dude. You need to take a walk.

        The US is going full Russia, man. It’s not gonna be call-of-duty level evil shit or anything else you think you know about autocracy.

        If y’all get caught in a cycle of elections, you, and consequently the whole world, will lose. The fight should be elevated to unions

          And once again you fall back on TikTok Doomer Accelerationist propaganda. As someone who FUCKING LIVES HERE, I can tell you, first hand, that yes, it’s bad right now, but there’s SO MUCH ROOM for it to get worse. In a TRULY authoritarian state, like you seem to believe we are in, they wouldn’t ALLOW any form of protest like we’ve seen in recent weeks. They’d roll out the troops and start shooting, which hasn’t happened, because the troops DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT.

          Things ARE bad, yes, but they aren’t NEARLY as bad as you think. Get off the internet and touch grass.

    “My husband is a massive racist, but dare not say that because he’s a pussy and feared being called out on it by his wife and kids. So he made up an excuse he heard on fox news and voted for his guy anyway.”
