Election 2024 Thoughts
I'm very disappointed in the American people:
- They would rather vote for a fascist than a women.
- They would rather vote for the economy that experts say is worse than the economy from the current party.
It is despicable how the American people voted.
But it isn't over, American democracy will not end in an instant. But we have taken a dangerous step toward its fall into fascism. One that we (both democrat and republican) will soon regret (I hope).
On a different note:
This is not the time to reject democracy and the results of the election, that too is a step towards fascism that we will regret. Democracy has spoke and chosen Trump, it is now our time to peacefully fight against it. We can both accept the results and fight against fascism. That looks like becoming civically active, voting in mid-terms, protesting, volunteering, and much more. Find your specialty, what you're good at, and use that to fight fascism if you can.
It also looks like helping and protecting the people you love and supporting each other through the next four years and.
But that doesn't mean you should prioritize activism over your mental health or safety. Both come before activism and are required to be a good activist.
Stay safe and try and have a good day 💜
