  • The next four years are in part going to be about Trump and his assortment of grifters, nut jobs, and ass kissers doing all they can to troll anyone not in their club. Damn straight I’m not tuning in for that.

  • Some of my friends have expressed a desire to do so. They're disappointed in the country. A third of the country voted for fascism, and a third of the country didn't give a shit. It's a hard fight to stay motivated, even for issues that directly relate to oneself, if the process feels hopeless - not simply by the opposition of powerful elites, but by the opposition of the overwhelming mass of your fellow citizens.

  • I'm probably consuming more political news than ever, but I'm certainly not getting it from TV lol

  • I put a hard pause on any news after the election. No reason feeding into any narrative until the turd takes office.
