Anyone else lose a little bit of faith in democracy after seeing how fucking stupid and destructive maga is?

honestly i’m just riding it out whatever the fuck happens at this point. i’m exhausted trying to stand up and take action. self preservation. I applaud people who still can. democracy is gone. Trump learned from all the WW2 stuff that the international agreements were just talk and won’t actually do anything to stop people from committing horrible acts. it’ll be a wave again. it’ll go to shit and things will be repaired. riding it out.

A little bit is an understatement and I don’t want to ride it out but I am also absolutely exhausted

It doesn’t just magically repair though. It repairs precisely because people stand up and take action. Not to criticize you personally, if it is taking a toll on you mentally or emotionally I feel there is no shame in pausing to take care of yourself, but also a lot had to be done to end the era of fascism in the first place, it didn’t just happen

yea i know all that. it’s just a lot and its only been 6 months. i’m feeling this way now, but who knows how ill feel in the future. i know there’s other people out there who will fight the fight better than me currently. i support them, but just can’t do it myself right now. its just overwhelming
