2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.
My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.
Depending on your situation, politics can actually be life and death. Someone who is chronically ill and needs medication may not do well under a Republican federal gov. If you’re a woman, voting Republican is a vote against women’s healthcare. If you’re a muslim, voting Republican is a vote against you personally. If you’re a student, voting Republican is a vote for higher student debt. If you’re black, voting Republican is a vote for less police accountability. If you’re working class, voting Republican is a vote for your boss to get a raise while you get a paycut.
And voting for the Democrats is a vote for even more military surplus to get funneled to PDs for further use in slabbing us out in morgues every two weeks through the 1033 program, do y’all even research the things you say sometimes
Thinking dems are any different from republicans is dreaming. Its all the same shit. You wanna better life you got to think outside this left/right box and stop fighting eachother and start talking.
