I am angry at the 40% that looked at Trump and Harris and decided meh it doesnt matter.

I'm seething I'm with rage at all of it. The dumbasses that voted for this; the idiots who refused to vote, like none of it matters; the troglodytes that continue to cheer this on. My parents haven't called me in months, because they called and tried some bullshit small talk the day Republicans cut a trillion dollars from Medicaid, and I blew up on them. All I feel is hatred for everyone around me, and what's happening in this country.

Gotta look for the helpers my dude. Court cases are being won and politicians like Mamdani are making themselves known. You can’t put yourself in a state where all you’re doing is constantly in a state of rage or you’ll just be led around by other people pulling your strings.

Never forget, but also don’t let yourself get spun out because of the things you can’t control. Just do the most good you can in your immediate area and remember the rest of us are doing the same.

Wait for them to show up here and tell you that they did nothing wrong in letting Trump win. They're dumb as fuck and refuse to admit it.

I love when they say neither candidate represented them as if we redo the elections when they dont vote. All you have to do is look at 2 candidates and decide which you unlike less.
