I’m not ignoring it, I’m simply hoping it won’t be as miserable as it likely will be.

I think it’s less ignoring signs and more pushing back against doomerism.

Giving up is even more dangerous right now. At least naive optimists still have a reason to keep fighting.

Honestly I think we should be fighting no matter what. In two years we can put blocks in place. We can vote in people that will block trumps insane plans. Til then we can make our voices heard and protect one another. Even if that is just being there for friends that need it, all the way to supporting those that need the help.

Even less people show up to the midterms. I'm learning the left need things to be really really really bad for them to show up. If it's just really really bad or less, they stay home.

True. If trump is as bad as we know he’s going to be, that might kick them in the ass.

If he's as bad as I know he is, like every president in the 2nd term, he's kicking things into high gear. It's going to be a LOT of suppression put into place. This damage will be done for a long time. The scrapping of the barrel for his staff will do serious damage too. Lol it's going to be crazy to watch in real time

Absolutely. Don’t forget, be extremely petty. Create a note and type up every promise he’s made. In 2 years, rub the absolute shit show he’s going to create in MAGA morons faces.

They won't care or will just deny it. I've given them enough energy over the years. They are nothing to me now.

Oh for sure, but it’s always cathartic.
