You say that, but the US is full of people still just going about their business. The country is operating fairly normally, all things considered, and the best you’ve got are sanctioned protests that are great for showing that people don’t love the situation but aren’t actually doing anything that couldn’t be responded to with an AI video of king Trump shit bombing everyone. Oh, and a Californian conservative who makes memes mocking Trump but is himself pretty shit.
Maybe for a nation of cowards this is action, but really it’s just sad. You’re taking it lying down, and half of you are even fighting to make sure that ya’ll get completely fucked.

Because we aren’t important enough for politicians to pay attention to. Our calls just go straight into an answering machine that gets ignored because we’re not bug-dollar donors like Musk. Musk probably has a direct line.

Yeah. We are in poverty. We have had stagnant wages for like 40 years, but rampent inflation. This is the second gilded age like it was in the 20s and earlier. The rich have everything and direct lines to politicians, and the poor need 3 gig jobs and a regular job just to afford rent and food. In a work heap like this, we need foreknowledge to schedule our peotests around.

Again, you’re conflating poverty and desperation in a backdrop of political corruption as aquiesence.
Like, the best thing a member of a loathed and marginalized community can do is to have an escape plan. They’re foaming at the mouth with rage and drooling at the opportunity for a hated group to put up an ounce of resistance so they can round them up for the camps. What kind of opposition can one transgender person in a one bedroom at night put up against an armed SWAT team?
It’ll be someone else’s job to resist with an organized force.

personally, I’m trans and I’m just trying to survive while I build an exit plan. damn right I’m laying down - I’m laying low.
Right?
