"This is who we are right now, and in so many ways that weren’t always as surface-apparent, it’s who we’ve always been."
Succinctly stated. I spent election day pulling a 15 hour shift as a poll worker, and collapsed from physical and emotional exhaustion when I got home. When I saw the news Wed morning, I'm not ashamed to say I had an actual breakdown and started crying. Even though I was prepared for the possibility, I wasn't expecting the sheer level of support for his brand of cruelty, hatred, and treason. I have nothing positive to say at this point. Like many others, I just need time to grieve and take of my physical and mental health before I'm in any position to help out in any meaningful way.
Hey, thank you for doing that work, man. I wanted to try to find something positive to say but really, why? Why lie? Without being histrionic, I think this is going to be so bad for so many people, here and abroad, and it's gutting that we went from thinking maybe we'd finally reached the end of this nightmare only to find out a majority of the country approves of it. It's just gutting.
Well said, Chris. Meant to say the other week: great work with the Project 2025 comic. Sending love and good vibes from across the pond. Keep going, keep fighting. All the best!
Thanks very much! I wish I knew how to keep fighting in ways that would help make any meaningful difference. I know there are ways, and the fight will continue since it has to, but at the moment, it's hard to do more than just wallow. And read old comics.
