They aren't herding me anywhere, without a fight.

That's why we arm ourselves, and train, and organize.

And it's been getting worse for everyone since like.... 1976 on so?

Like did you forget the preventable AIDS epidemic pushed by Reagan? The 1993 Crime Bill that tossed thousands or Black folk into prison? Crack cocaine introduced to our communities by the US government? Mass arrests of people protesting for racial justice? Gitmo? 1985 MOVE bombing? Indigenous Boarding Schools?

So, did you just get scared on January 20th?

My queer self has been scared since 2006...

Im hardly "celebrating it"... I'm acknowledging that it actually happens here.

Okey doke. In reality, your only solution to any problem is "Vote.blue no matter who".

I get it. Your only solution to everything is just vote. And then it ends there.

Im actively involved in indigenous projects for the indigenous people.

I helped a Black woman win a Dem primary, only to have the Local Dems back a Reich Winger in a write in ballot.

But, yeah, I don't care about them. K.

I'm not the one sending jackboot thugs into their community... that's the local dems.

What do you suggest I do, other than that?

No matter how I voted, they'd be getting genocided... so, I sent money for relief aid. That's apparently wrong, that I put my money where my mouth is, and vote with my dollars like ya'll liberals say to do..

So what else should I do?

Worse than "didn't care"... it's more like "caring about how to make their lives worse"...

When did voters, or the Dems, actually do anything for brown and Black people in the US?

More cops doesn't count...
