You unapologetically voted for someone who is going to make mental healthcare even harder to access for people than before, so I’m not sure that you’re really in a position to be talking about how mental health is a significant issue.
Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit
NastyNative@mander.xyz 1 week agoMental health is a significant issue in today’s society, which is why I tend to avoid taking things too personally. When individuals respond with excessive anger, it often leads me to believe their frustration may stem from underlying issues unrelated to the topic at hand. Additionally, some individuals seem to struggle with engaging in constructive conversations with those who hold differing viewpoints, which is not reflective of the majority of us who are open to respectful dialogue.

A different issue is for some is the GOP supporters voted to put people in concentration camps regardless of your personal view on immigration or whether LGBT+ people can exist in public. That’s going to be an issue for some.

While I disagree with the approach of removing immigrants from the country, it raises the question of who allowed them to enter in the first place. Why hasn’t President Biden taken more decisive action to provide a pathway to citizenship for them? Ultimately, the current situation can be traced back to decisions made by the Biden administration. It’s as if we are experiencing a form of collective amnesia when it comes to addressing these issues. I have never heard President Trump make any statements suggesting that LGBTQ+ individuals should not exist.

Project 2025, which Trump has been following since inauguration day, makes the administration’s position on erasing queer people from America very clear.
And he also doesn’t have to say anything because his actions are saying plenty:

There’s plenty more where that came from and it’s been less than a month.

The GOP has been dead set against any pathway to citizenship for Spanish speaking people not from Spain. It’s always easy to blame POTUS but Congress plays a huge role as well.

If there is no clear path for individuals to gain legal status, why allow them to enter in the first place?

I find their anger often comes from the frustration of arguing with someone whose viewpoint is further away from reality than their own.

It’s not simply anger, but rather excessive frustration that is difficult to manage. Having lived in this country over the past four years, I’ve witnessed significant challenges and setbacks. I’m voting in my best interest, and if others disagree, it’s important to recognize that everyone has different life experiences. We all face unique struggles, so it’s unfair to assume that I am voting against my interests when many of the things I care about have been negatively impacted.

Has what has happened in the past few weeks been helpful to you or has it been putting your finances at risk like everyone else in America who isn’t super wealthy? Consumer goods are more expensive and inflation is higher. Was that in your best interest? To have to pay more for things and for your pay to be worth less than it used to be? Do you think tariffs on goods from all over the world without giving American businesses alternatives is going to make things less costly?
