Tough times make tough people
Tough people make easy times.
Easy times make weak people.
Weak people make tough times. <--------We are here.
Tough times make Tough people <------ Your light of hope.
No, the tough times were 2020-2024 when the fallout of Trump policies raised the cost of living, helped erode women's rights to their own bodies, and encouraged corporate enshittification to go even more out of control.
It's now "tough times make bigoted people who scapegoat minorities," apparently.
Nobody said the tough times would end after just four years. I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. The night has just begun, and it's time for the lantern bearers to find their lights.
I'm American. They can't have my country without a fight. I'll fight every ounce of their cruelty with kindness, and displace their xenophobia and racism with acceptance and support.
There are millions of us.
Damn straight. That's the same thing I tell people when I was asked if I was going to try to leave the US.
I may be disabled, but I swore to defend the Constitution from foreign and domestic threats. It's not just the racist and homophobic people who have firearms. When the time comes, the quiet people will show up to help.
The quiet people peck, scratch, and bite when they need to protect the people they care about. And Mr. Roger's taught my generation to care about everyone.
