The House will be Republican controlled.
The Senate will be Republican controlled.
The Supreme Court is majority Republican.
Joe Biden truly was a Paul von Hindenburg Democrat, as I said he would be. This isn’t an “I told you so,” this is a warning of what is coming.
Be safe.
Take precautions.
Protect one another.
We are all we have.
Theory is a beautiful, intricate thing, right up until it smashes headfirst into the petty cruelties of a heartless and brutal tyrant.
I voted for Kamala Harris, and a Democratic straight ticket, something I haven’t done since 2008, because I saw Donald Trump and his cohort gaining far too much momentum, and an America far too willing to cover themselves in the robes of fascism in order to get a little perceived comfort and safety. I took the advice of the incredible Angela Davis, I listened to my community, the people I love dearly, the people I have sworn to myself to protect as best as I can, and I made a decision. I put my immediate hopes in the hands of people who I knew who were deeply flawed but would give us space to work.
That has failed.
That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped hoping, and it certainly doesn’t mean I’ve stopped my efforts at organizing, but it is going to be a holy hell of a lot harder to accomplish anything.
Still, it can be done, we can do it if we really care about each other. It is clear that a large portion of the US has decided that they will cut us off, let us die, if it means holding onto the sinking ship a little longer.
I am going to try to survive in spite of their willingness to see me suffer and die.
People who chose Trump, who chose fascism and death, they will have their pride and self-assurance for a little while, but people like Trump never stop at people like me. They never stop until everything is dead. They are a cancer cell.
