RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

My dad constantly defends Trump and ICE and stuff. (feddit.org)

He either says "fake news", when the news comes up, that Trump is not racist, that Trump is racist but he doesn't care because he hates the Arabs and "illegal" Latinos too, and thinks that it was people like Renee Good's fault for getting shot. Not only that, but he constantly misgenders me even when I'm genderfluid and use he/;him sometimes too and thinks transgender and nonbinary people don't exist. Just wanted to share that.

Yet I'm still kind of attached to him...

When Trump crosses the tippingpoint, & overthrows the constitution, turning the US into a rampaging dictatorship, you may need to .. go no-contact with him.

Protect your life, even if it means severing relationships.

East Germany was an actual dystopia, crewed by many, & it was only 1 of many examples of our race's attempts at perfecting ignorance/prejudice/institutionalized-hatred's kingdom.

Please get ready to have the US turn into Civil War Part2.

I expect Trump to use the Insurrection-Act to overthrown the constitution, & to denaturalize all the non-Republicans, in the elegantest "coup" in history, then .. well, everybody who isn't Republican, then gets ICE'd, which is why he's built them up in the 1st place..

the denaturalization-law & ICE are simply 2 parts of the SAME weapon.

There won't be any reasoning with "the other side", once that phase-change has happened: the 2 sides will simply deathmatch until there's nothing left of the US, next-decade, sometime.

IOW the ever-accelerating escalation .. is going to continue accelerating its escalation, until the phasechange/tippingpoint has been crossed.

Understand that once ALL non-Republicans are "illegals" .. what your father will back ICE doing..
