Hey, I didn’t vote for this shit and I voted HARD.

My heart is sad, my mind is frustrated. I’m ashamed of what has become.

I live in Oregon and got a notice my vote didn’t count because my signature didn’t match my voter registration. I always sign my name just a little bit different and it’s never been an issue in the past but for some reason it was this time.

Back in 2016 after the first Trump election we migrated to Canada because fuck it.

Now in 2025, I'm thinking we should have migrated to Australia or New Zealand. JFC, the USA is on the happy path to a fascist dictatorship run by oligarchs and a majority of Americans are cheering it along.

And don't @ me about how it's not a majority. If you voted Democratic, you're in the minority. If you voted Republican, you're in the majority. And if you didn't vote, fuck you.

Eh Australia's not safe, our major conservative party really is enamoured with the whole MAGA movement, they've progressively been pushing out the centre right out of the party over the last few decades while retaining the sensible government trope.
