my friend (I am assuming you are also american), we either own this clusterfuck or we continue to spiral.

I dont know if things can be salvaged (I will sure as hell try), but as someone alive in this moment, in this country, I cannot pull away from my own culpability. I own a part of this collective failure. and so do we all.

edit: as an aside, I have now seen two trump stronghold houses (9 years worth of trump flags) in my area with no flags today. not sure when they got taken down, but it must have been pretty recent (within the last 3 days)

edit edit: one of my highschool kids says there has been a marked turn in attitude in his school. the maga kids are actively saying they "hate" trump. just dropped him off at a sports event, but I am going to quizz him on pickup.

update: so my kiddo says the trump supporters in his school now "hate talking about trump". he is not considered interesting or cool (my words). this started specifically after the oval office trump/musk session. musk is also not a topic of conversation. so perhaps the the bloom is off the rose for these two.

Anecdotally, my fence-sitter friends have all been getting off against Trump since his inauguration. I admit that I don't think I had much to do with it, but it was a pleasant surprise.

They'll swing back for the next election, don't worry. Plenty of time for right-wing concern trolling to send them scurrying back to the fence.

They were OK as long as leopards ate only other people's faces. Anyone who isn't a straight white male deserved it.
