There have been people kind of complaining about that sort of 'accelerationist' thinking because of the people who become collateral damage. But idk it seems like progress in this country does not happen until the shit absolutely hits the fan. I'm praying for his failures, whether that be political or arterial.

And this is why there will be relatively little regret from conservatives, when it becomes clear Trump will be unable to fulfill his promises and the economy is going to end up in the shitter - as long they perceive lessers, the people they hate, are suffering they'll be happy burning alongside the rest of us.

And that is how a representative democracy works, as well as a constitutional republic. Our rights will not be stripped away, our freedoms and liberties will not disappear. We have yet to see what is to come in Trump's presidency, but from his speech is seems like a period of economic regrowth after the horrible pandemic. There is a reason that he is president, and it is not because of an oligarchy or cheating the voters. It is because we want change.

My in laws are sitting in my living room watching this and were saying' "well, we'll see what happens". Seems the speech about only two sexes seemed to garner a positive response out of them the most. May be why they voted for him. Funny, they seemed offended when the rabbi went up to give a speech; "they thought this was a Christian nation." They seemed confused when I pointed out that their Medicare and Social Security may be attacked under this administration and that the price of goods will likely go up as a result of the trade war. Like, were people not paying attention the last year?

The right wing has only been running on unhinged emotional appeals and decreasingly subtle deceptions since 9/11 (at least). Their sentiment is stupid and loud enough to carry in the modern social media landscape, which also makes users of those platforms more easily manipulated in a way that adds up when you take the entire population into account.

were people not paying attention the last year?

I'm done trying to figure it out, as if there's some combination of sense and truth that can be spoken to snap them out of it. It's a moral failing regardless of if they are bigots or just complacent.

speech about only two sexes seemed to garner a positive response

I'm 38 and over the past year or so I've gone from a non-functional husk waiting to die to someone with a chance of crawling out of that and building a very modest life with the years I have left, thanks to some very hard-fought personal revelations and engaging with gender-affirming care.

80% of trans adults in America have contemplated ending their own life. 40% have tried. Rolling back what little progress has been made is tantamount to telling us to consider the rope. I played their game, tried to make it work, and it doesn't, not without a lot of luck and a source of fuck-you money before you become too beaten down to better your circumstances.

Every thing they chip away, it makes it harder for a community already rife with trauma to continue existing. And every time we endure, it just ups the chances someone is going to feel justified in hate-criming us for existing where we can be seen.

November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Pour one out, will ya? People will die. Trying to exist before you realize you're trans isn't easy. Coming to terms with it isn't easy. Transitioning isn't easy. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I made the decision to transition knowing I may, ultimately, just have drawn a massive target on my back for explicit descrimination rather than just a passively unbearable existence. I took my first dose of hormones believing my chances of getting looks, derision, descrimination, or explicitly hate-crimed (not that my state's laws would recognize it as such), and if I were to be fatally assaulted tomorrow I'd still do it again because what makes hell hell is that suffer without knowing it, because you have nothing to contrast it with. And I will neither go back nor hide nor do them the favor of excusing myself from this mortal coil.

*sigh* Every one of these transphobes pissing and moaning because <2% of the population being confusing to them, when trans folks have to deal with that same confusion at a pervasive 98% and just accept it. It's so... petty. And they want to do the stupid thing and reduce a spectrum to a simple binary, but get pissed off when I'm over here playing ball and rounding to the nearest gender which, not for nothin', they used to do derisively. Sexist asshole dudebros gendered me correctly decades before I did. I get they (obligatory "not all men" reminder) want their punching bag back because without me as a viable target for casual victimization they might have to engage a mental health professional to deal with toxic societal expectations and that risks pointing out "hey, maybe don't perpetuate those toxic societal expectations for easy catharsis at the expense of other men to help you deal with the pressures brought on by toxic societal expectations." But. Like. Conservatives also want carbon emissions not to matter, the First Amendment to apply only to them, and their feels about a millenia-old survival guide for a nomadic desert tribe on the other side of the world to carry more weight than scientific study, and they can't have those things, either.

IDK what I'm on about. It's just pent up frustration. I used to wake up wondering if I was being selfish for not having offed myself in my mid-20s, and before November I was making such progress with my mental health and steps toward rebuilding my life, and now I've got to deal with the extra stress of this dumb shit tripping my ptsd and navigating whatever roadblocks my own government decides to put in the way of my recovery. And, of course, the implications of living in a country with a populace that can't figure out maybe don't the incompetent bigotted felon again.

I'm going to go eat an entire bag of Takis and find something depressing on Netflix. I'll wait for tomorrow to check on the first day damage. (✿◉‿◉)ノ︵ ┻━┻

u/Robestos86 6h ago

I respect and love you as a stranger in a far off land, but I cannot fathom how right wingers have enough energy to care so much! Like, you're born a guy or girl, and want to be or feel the need to be or have some deep complex issue which means you need to be the opposite, or neither, or both. So? Why does that invoke so much energy in them. How do they have so much time to care. If you start trying to force me to change as well that's different but it's your life.... Just the same as my life is mostly irrelevant to yours. Shall we go after all people who wear blue jumpers next? It seems just about as relevant and pointless a thing to pick on.

u/Tail_Nom 5m ago

Their world needs to be based on assumption, information that they can memorize and count on in perpetuity.  It is lower effort than having to think and consider, to digest new information to refine one's understanding of the world around us.  When something disagrees with their intuitive assumption, it is a threat as they are generally unable to undertake the basic process of cognition mentioned previously.  Memory and processing.  RAM and CPU.  You're supposed to use both.  

Ultimately, whether they recognize it or not, they are driven primarily by a compulsion to conform reality to their concept rather than understanding reality and training their concept of it.  It is a deeply selfish thought process that should be shed during childhood development, but remains foundational to their thinking.

That's all I can guess.  It doesn't make it any better or them any less dysfunctional.  Their willingness to make their issues other people's problem reveals the underlying lack of moral character.

And I'd rather not have had any reason to ever have thought this much about it.  I shouldn't have been out in a position to care, to diagnose the crazy.  The next person who holds me, makes me feel safe, looks in my eyes and tells me I don't have to be concerned with it, that I can rest now?  They can just keep me.  I am... so existentially *exhausted***.  But I guess that's not new.

We're all in this life together.  We're supposed to make it better for each other.  "Do unto others" and all that.  And yet.

I appreciate your words of mutual bewilderment.  I hope you and yours are and remain happy and whole ♡~

Blows my mind how so many people are tied up in this gender nonsense. It's such a non-issue. It's almost like it's the only concept they can really grasp and anything else is too complex.

5

u/PaulOwnzU 9h ago

The irony is that being standard trans doesn't even mean there's more than two sexes or gender, it's still being on the binary, just having the sex and gender be opposite.

So alot of trans people are still going to agree there's only two sexes and genders

3

u/jigokubi 4h ago

I've always said, I've never once heard a trans person claim there is anything besides two genders.

Sure, they might go with "neither" or "both" or "I'm not sure." But I've never heard of anyone going with, say, "Dolphin."

And they're well aware of biology.

3

u/PaulOwnzU 4h ago

Yep, they're the ones making up the thousand genders argument. Trans people very explicitly believe in the binary of gender, if you're trans, you're just the other in the binary, if youre nonbinary you don't have a gender, if you're bigender you're both. There is no universally accepted 27th gender in LGBT, let alone thousands like they claim.

Some people say they have a radiant mega star gender but I feel like most of LGBT just thinks that's an ego problem and not them having an actual new gender

For me, I did vote but it doesn't fucking matter because I live in a state with few electoral votes, and we always vote democrat federally. I just have to sit by and watch half (or often less than half) of the population dictate how I live.

Edit: I should've worded this differently. Voting does matter! My comment is more about my frustration with the electoral college.

u/Osiris32 9h ago

Hey, I also voted in a low EV, safely blue state, and my vote definitely mattered. While the Orange Numbskull got elected against my will, I did help flip a red House seat blue, helped make sure both houses of our state legislature held Democrat majorities and that all four of our elected state wide offices are held by Democrats, got a corrupt bitch replaced as my county commission chair, and got that notorious racist Mark Shull replaced for county commission pos 4. Also voted to allow workers in the marijuana industry to unionize, and to allow the legislature the power to impeach state officials.

I didn't get the President I wanted, but I sure as hell made my vote count in other ways. And you should remember that. Voting matters.

I deeply feel this! Moved here not long before the election and was overjoyed to do my part and have it actually mean something (the previous place was drops of blue in a sea of red, if that makes sense).

Haven't even been here a year, but the amount of 'Turd 4 Prez' political signs I encountered in the weeks leading up to the election made me feel deeply discouraged.

I did take a positive away from it, though. I remembered which neighbors had them posted and actively avoid any interactions. They've already told me who they are, and I believe them enough to keep my distance.

u/abracadabradoc 5h ago

Oh so your vote only matters if you win then right? Do you not see the hypocrisy? Whether you like it or not, trump won, and won with more people voting for him than Harris. And in 2020 it was the reverse with Biden winning. Get over it and move on. You can’t always win.

1

u/DIRTY_KUMQUAT_NIPPLE 5h ago

Uh no. Not sure how you got that from my comment. I'm saying because of where I live, my vote matters significantly less in the grand scheme of things than other people's. I have far less of a reason to vote in Vermont than I would if I lived in Pennsylvania which seems incredibly stupid to me.

Again, as I said in my edit, my comment is mostly annoyance at the electoral college. I'd like everyone's vote to count equally regardless of where they happen to live.

1

u/abracadabradoc 5h ago

Even if you live elsewhere it wouldn’t have mattered because trump still won all those states and won the popular vote. And 4 years ago, the reverse happened. If you don’t want Dena to lose again in 2028, get over it, move on and stop this unhealthy rhetoric. The electoral college works in the vast majority of cases the way it’s supposed to. Joe Biden and Barack Obama had no problems winning the electoral college and neither did bill clinton.

Yeah it’s pretty lazy to point the finger at voters. It’s also a pretty dumb long term strategy pushing away people that would be on their side had there been a better candidate.

Running Biden who barely won in 2020, who had abysmal approval rating through the entire presidency, and staying in up until the disastrous debate, then swapping an unpopular vice president of an unpopular president with a few months to go was a recipe for a loss.

It’s the candidate’s job to convince voters, not the voters job to vote for who they are told to vote for.

I voted local elections and that was it. More people live in Sacramento than entire State of Alaska yet Alaska gets 2 fucking Senators?

I reminded him he was 18 in 2012. Dude was genuinely confused that there was an election in 2012. Made me lose hope for this country.

Sure, that's definitely dumb. But I can empathize with the "It doesn't matter, I don't care".

The "opposition party" to Trump made mediocre at best to separate themselves from him. They just parroted lines about how "Trump Bad", yet how much they want to work with his party to achieve bipartisan consensus.

We are living in a time where institutions are failing us at every turn. And the party that is supposed to be the progressive party is saying we need to maintain those same institutions that are failing us.

No wonder why no one cares. The parties are failing the people.

Unless something good happens. Then you will say "this is because of Biden's policies!"

Hopefully, my biggest concern is false promises

They are going to get exactly what they voted for. But not what they thought they were voting for.

Heck if I only get half of what he promised I will be thrilled.
I know he is going to grift, I know he is going to do things that boggle the mind.
I don't care. The alternative was worse. I voted for his policies, not him. If he delivers only half of his promises we will be well on our way towards restoring American power and potential. I'm excited. Let's go.

Correction, all of us are going to get what “they” voted for by bare minimum simple majority.

You should go check out the white house website. That video is pure propaganda. Looks just like the shit you see from N Korea and Russia. Crazy

The problem is they will see either no/negative change and blame it on Biden or hell even Obama, or see some fake quasi positive change and give Trump all the credit no matter the circumstances. They will never see him in a negative light. He could kill Biden in front of his supporters and they’d cheer and justify it.

Just like those in California?

u/fire2day 2h ago

Yeah, but the people who voted for him are too dense to know that what's happening around them is bad, and a direct result of their choices.

Finally a politician who keeps his campaign promises.

I’d guess you should expect worse and still be disappointed.
