What the fuck is wrong with this country. After his first term, after watching this shambling fucking skeleton of hate and vitriol decompose in front of us for the next four years. What the fuck is wrong with this country

Honestly, I don't really think I am. I'm just surviving and doing what I can to cobble together a life worth living.
Like, yeah. Transition has been really hard, but so was my pre-transiton life, just in different ways. Nowadays I feel like I have so many more tools emotionally to deal with the constant onslaught of sorrow that life has always been.
I don't know your life situation. But as a trans woman from the Bible belt, who got disowned by my family, divorced, abandoned by all of my friends and financially devastated as a result of coming out and transitioning: it's absolutely worth it.
Yes, the crime was horrendous. But if society just gives up on the idea of rehabilitating criminals that's not going to bring anyone back. It's just going to hurt more people unnecessarily, innocent and otherwise.
Obviously the murderer should not be released until they are adequately rehabilitated (if they ever are). But in a just society prisons are for rehabilitation.
Damn, if only there were more venomous snakes at Trump rallies.
And what exactly does voting third party do about the genocide, other than put Donald "Finish the Job" Trump into office?
I mean, voting third party in America is functionally not voting. I'll absolutely shit on people for not voting.
I always loved the Kokiri Forrest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's so cozy, so quaint. I just wanna live there in real life, but with like internet and videogames and stuff.
Voting isn't an avenue for that kind of change. There are other avenues for more real change, but they require a lot more work and in some cases personal risk.
That doesn't mean voting isn't important, but it is a tool that's very limited in the breadth of what it can do. Atleast in the US.
I mean, I guess the straights get pretty weird sometimes, but I'm not really seeing the connection.
They all paved the way for trump to fucking topple it.
