Thought I was doing OK-ish, but I’m also realizing my stress/anxiety/rage are basically right back where they were 2016-2020 and that jackass hasn’t even taken office yet. I know his first term shortened my lifespan, I feel like I’ll be lucky to not keel over at some point in the second term.
Oh, and the media outlets breathlessly reporting that they’re implementing Project 2025, even though 45 disavowed it! No shit, sherlock, 45 lied! He lies constantly! How do you not fucking know this yet? Oh, his cabinet appointments are all abhorrent trash? You’re surprised?!
IDK, maybe the media shouldn’t have treated him like he was just a senile, racist grandpa that no one wants to be around at Thanksgiving and actually reported on his actual fucking plans so folks weren’t googling “what is a tariff” and “what is project 2025” immediately after the election.
Like, how hard would have been for any major media outlet to say, “If these policies go through, people will get hurt and the cost of survival will go through the fucking roof. Because unless the product you buy has a supply chain that is 100% in the US AND that supply chain doesn’t involve any labor targeted for mass deportation, you’re just fucked. And people you supposedly care about are going to be hurt, because they’ll be targeted for who they are, denied health care, get laid off, and any other number of shit things.”
But Harris’ policies weren’t presented in a pleasing enough font or some shit.
