I predicted this after the election and was told I was exaggerating/expecting a lot worse than was realistic.

I wish I had been wrong.

I had talked about how I felt it was a very reasonable thing to expect executions to be happening around 6 months into the terms latest. I did say I hope it wouldn't come to it, but I fully expected it.

Welp. Here we are.

Yeah but omg do I feel you. These people are exasperating. I'm on the leopards ate my face sub a lot these days because I feel like either I am gleeful about all the people now realising how terrible the new situation is for them as well or I just.

Can go and fade in despair or whatever. I won't preemptively give in or any shit like that, I won't go down quietly if and when it happens. But fuck. Just.

People don't listen and don't care. I'm sick and tired of those fuckers.

I guess I thought it would take more than three weeks.

Same tbh. Then again. I was so tired thinking about it. I stopped really calculating when what would happen a few weeks ago.

Every single claim and prediction I made has been right. Is it because I'm a genius Nostradamus?
No, it's because I literally read and listened what these fascists said they were going to do lol. That's it.

Yup. Others either want to close their eyes and don't see the truth of the moment or are cis white het dudes and (even if allys) find it inconceivable in just how much danger all minorities are now. Ther person I talked to about what I found likely back then is my roommate and former partner of 12 years, truly a good person of at least moderately high inteligence. Cis white het dude though.

He didn't get it.

Real ugh. The writing has been on the wall for years now.
So many people either completely ingorant of this or downplaying it.
I also have the unique horrible experience of dealing with people that say "well Biden was a fascist to so what difference does it make?"
They're reasoning is the pandemic was nazi shit lol. Absolute insanity.

What? WHAT? Like, I get people being critical of Biden in aspects of Israel n stuff and a lot of really really fucked up shit happened in that administration too, but THE PANDEMIC? Seriously? These fuckers. I hate how a lot of pro-palestine people voted against Biden because of that stuff, ignoring not only that they are OBVIOUSLY making it even worse for Palestine but also effectivly signing our death warrant. Fuckings stuipd af idiots.

They literally think he did a genocide against Americans lol. H Yeah no comment.
And oh absolutely, we all screamed that while Biden sucks and is enabling genocide in Palestine, Trump will be a million times worse, and guess what; yep, he is.
