I have to believe that it can get better.
Will it have a chance to get better?
Don’t confuse optimism for desperation:-)
But Star Trek is a great example of what can come after e.g. Bell Riots.
We learn and grow through pain.
You seem to have missed the global nuclear war that happened between the bell riots and shiny space communism.
Wouldn’t mind avoiding that, though it seems like thats getting more and more probable.
Things might get better, after everyone dies for stupid bullshit, but that’s hardly a comfort.
Yep.

Gay man here in Missouri. A lot of my trans friends and me are very concerned about our futures.
Any chance you and your friends can hijack a decent State and dig a giant moat around it?
I think our best hope is to move to California and then wait for The Big One to break CA off from the rest of the US.
Move to Alaska. We need more left-leaning people. We’re already starting to go purple and our population is so low that it probably won’t take much to get us to go solidly blue.
Plus, you won’t have to wait for a massive earthquake to separate you from the rest of the country. Canada will do that.
You should be. We should all be concerned about our futures. I’m a white, CIS guy, and I’m concerned. We’re completely off the rails now.
I’m a white CIS guy as well, and I’m worried to the point I can barely function this morning.
I work at a not for profit hospital that’s already on a shoestring budget. Any cuts to government healthcare coverage and my department may as well get slashed in half
I’m concerned about your futures too. My daughter is queer and as of 2 am this morning, we’ve been working on plans to get to the UK, where I have dual citizenship.
Doo it. You should me able to get a family visa as long as your daughter is under 18 and your family income is over £29k.
I wish I could. I wish I could take my daughter’s girlfriend and her trans friend with me.
Best of luck to you and your family to get out of there as quick and easy as possible.
My boyfriend totes not domestic partner of 7 years, because I’m trying to get on SSDI does have dual citizenship in 🇮🇪 (also an O’Brien lol).
What do you actually believe is going to happen to you? Why didn’t it happen during his first presidency? Unless you were killed and are talking from beyond the grave? In which case I’m sorry you’re dead.
Because their lives weren’t and won’t be impacted. This is all fear mongering.
I have been working since 2 am on the plan we have to get our family to the UK. I have already contacted relatives and organizations that help queer kids.
So basically I will be moving before the end of January. Enjoy your Bell Riots.
The last time was truly different. JEB was supposed to win the Republican nomination, leading to a dynasty clash-off between the Bushes and the Clintons… except it didn’t happen, when Trump called him a big meanie poopy-pants or whatever, and he cried, looked weak, and basically went limp (tbf, his father was very ill or sth).
So then it was a toss-up between Ted Cruz and Trump, or as the Republican leaders at the time said, a choice between being poisoned vs. shot in the head. They chose the poison.
After that it came down to Hillary vs. Trump in the general election, and due to some helpful little Russian interference, people voted against her. Not for him, mind you, but against her. It was a one-time thing that would never, Ever, EVER happen aga-…
Well shit.
Edit: Tbf, after he won even Trump didn’t know what Trump was doing the whole time, besides wandering around eating McDonald’s hamburgers. Though now people are READY to make use of him - they know how, and what they want done. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT.
Never kill yourself for something that’s somebody else’s fault.
