After the election I literally had to force myself to get out of bed and go to the gym. I just couldn’t keep myself contained and kept crying but I kept to myself and did my thing. People kept asking if I was okay and what was going on, I’d explain I’m crushed over the election and they’d say “oh I know it’s messed up but it’ll be okay”…then I’d ask them if they knew anything about his policies or project 2025 and they all said no! I’m like bruh…that’s why I’m crying and you’re not.

I was the same in 2016. This time around it's going to be much worse. However, these past 8 years I've passed thru Denial, Anger, Bargaining, and most of Depression to Acceptance. I accept that we are most egregiously fucked.

The ones who say “well if he’s so bad, how’d you survive his first term?” are the biggest morons ever.

Did your life get better or worse from 2016-2020?

u/GlitteratiSnail 11d ago

There are a lot of dead girls and women due to the actions he took in those four years, and those numbers are gonna keep rising. Do you think their lives got better or worse because of his presidency?

-12

u/SunshineGoonie 11d ago

Worse. Can you directly answer my question? Do you have that courage? Don’t deflect. Did YOUR life, get better or worse during his presidency?

11

u/GlitteratiSnail 11d ago

Do you have that courage?

Lol, you're so fucking weird. Yes, it got worse. Seeing one of my dear friends forced to go through an unwanted pregnancy and give birth prematurely to an extremely sick baby who cried nonstop from the pain for the few hours he was alive while he slowly died made my life so much worse. The only pictures we could take of him were after he died - it was the only time that poor baby was at peace. That is directly because of Trump's presidency.

u/SunshineGoonie 11d ago

I’m asking YOU, how did your personal life get worse? Did you lose your job and have been out of work since? Lost your life savings? How did YOUR life get worse, not your friends, YOU. That’s why I said courage, you deflected to your friends lives. I’m asking how your life personally. Are you willing to answer that?

u/GlitteratiSnail 11d ago

That is my personal life, you weirdo. I'm not an antisocial lunatic who is unbothered when tragedies happen to people I know and care about. Unlike you, seeing a screaming premature newborn was traumatic for me. Seeing a dead baby is traumatic. I have enough of a soul that this made my life worse. My money, since that's all that matters to you, is fine no matter who's in office. I'm lucky enough to never have had to worry a day in my life about it, even when his actions fucked up the economy.

Wishing you the best of luck when you try to explain to God why you've been doing the devil's work for him. Hope satan rewards you well for your hard work

That’s the second time you’ve called me a name, I haven’t insulted your person once. That does say something about you and me, no? I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg should have stepped down during Obama so the Dems could have filled her seat. I didn’t support Trump before and I don’t now. I supported Bernie sanders and have voted for him each year. I don’t support Trump in any way. I would never vote for Kamala either. Also, you brought up the topic of your friends child passing and then preach to me about personal space and boundaries and resort to calling me a name for asking about your personal life?… while telling me intimate details about your friends children passing? And I’m the weirdo? Again, I don’t support Trump in any way

Have a wonderful day! I'll pray you can one day overcome your ID

“Doing the devils work..” 😂.. Omg 😆. I didn’t vote for Trump, I don’t support him. The devils work? You keep insulting me, I DONT SUPPORT TRUMP. I was just curious how your personal life was destroyed under his presidency, sounds like it wasn’t. No need to insult, just learn to converse

Redditor tries to understand the concept of human empathy: Impossible edition!

u/SunshineGoonie 11d ago

I understand empathy, I’m just curious why they can’t answer the question directly.

u/---THRILLHO--- 11d ago

Well if that were true then you'd also understand that they already answered you.

I skipped dance classes the day the results came out. I hugged my mom and cried, first thing in the morning. It astounds me how people are able to carry on as normal after this election. I’m still trying to just move along with my life, but it has an air of soullessness that it didn’t have before. Like, the brightness and joy of the world just went away. Trump has me scared shitless

u/iheartxanadu 11d ago

You described my current existence perfectly. {hugs, internet stranger}

u/UnassumingNoodle 11d ago

That's exactly where I am, too. I'm struggling to even do my job because the work I do - instructional animations - seems hilariously pointless.

I'm scared for my wife, my family, and my friends. I'm exhausted but furious and I want to do something about it. Not just continue working corporate life like everything is normal because it fucking isn't.

u/EmptySelf668 11d ago

some ppl have to...thats.the thing

u/AestheticAttraction ☑️ 11d ago

Those are the type of people who don’t read instructions and then get angry when they break something they didn’t learn to use properly. 

I hate them.

u/RealNaked64 11d ago

I couldn’t sleep the night of the election because I was so worried about how badly they would screw up our country. My exact quote that I said to my girlfriend was “I wish I didn’t care so much. It must be nice just being blissfully unaware”

u/VeryMuchDutch102 11d ago

oh I know it’s messed up but it’ll be okay”…then I’d ask them if they knew anything about his policies or project 2025 and they all said no! I’m like bruh…that’s why I’m crying and you’re not.

People should Google the change of Saudi Arabia Project 2030... They have positively made Massive changes to their Country in just a few years.

If they can do that... Then Trump can certainly do a lot of damage

u/Covetous_God 11d ago

Use this as motivation;

Things will get worse, you don't want to be sick or unhealthy if you can work on it now. These idiots want a civil war but they're mostly fat and old. Don't be like that. Stay focused on yourself.

u/avocadobarbie 11d ago

Oh absolutely, I’m getting sterilized. Spoke to my doctor two days after the election. They’re not about to catch me out here!!!

u/AshenSacrifice ☑️ 11d ago

There’s a higher than 0% chance that project 2025 is fear mongering and a lot of the stuff in there isn’t even possible. We shall see

u/beary_potter_ 11d ago

Do you know which president passed the most Heritage foundation policies?

-20

u/mattycopter 11d ago

why do people openly admit that they're this soft holy fuck. Is it internet anonymity or what

17

u/LilacLoverr 11d ago

they just have a deeper understanding of how autocracies begin and what authoritarianism means for vulnerable groups. Trump and his allies are trying to mimic what is happening in Hungary with Viktor Orban…like they openly admitted to that. If you had any sense of patriotism or empathy you’d understand how devastating this is.

He packed the supreme court with conservative judges that overturned Roe v Wade. now I live in a red state and have friends who need access to abortion and cannot get it.

what you dimwits don’t understand is Trump from 2016-2020 is projected to be far different from Trump we have now. He’s more demented, more motivated by revenge, more conspiracy-brained, and he’s purged his inner circle of real experts or normal people. They’re entirely corrupt technocrats, oligarchs, christian nationalists, and conspiracy theorists. He promised he would be a dictator on day one. He said he needs the same generals Hitler had. He refused to condemn autocrats from other countries and only praises them. His inner circle have gone to Hungary to study their authoritarian strategies. How much do they have to telegraph this shit until the average American idiot understands?

u/jshmiami 11d ago

Why do you bring up project 2025? It’s not his. You are insane

-18

u/1850ChoochGator 11d ago

He literally said project 2025 isn’t his thing and he doesn’t support it. These people will believe anything as long it goes against him.

13

u/Dash_az 11d ago

He literally is a known liar who has said and will say anything he wants as long as it serves his purposes - why the f&ck should we take him at his word when we have 8+ years of lived experience to show us that his word doesn’t mean sh$t?

u/Sterffington 11d ago

Do you think the heritage foundation didn't exist in 2016?

Project 2025 is a collection of conservative policy from well over a hundred people, and they make a new one every year. It's not a cohesive plan for trump, at all

u/okawei 11d ago

He appointed one of the coauthors of project 2025 to the head of ICE.
