… Sadly, the first thing that comes to mind, upon reading your comment…

First, we take Manhattan… then we take Berlin.

… I am hopeful that I can make it either to, or at least nearer to Canada, into a blue state, within the next year…

I am fully expecting shit to get very bad, very fast now.

… At least I am white… as sickening as that is for me to say… it does make me less of a target.

Spent the better part of two decades telling my friends and family that what is happening now … is the trajectory we are on, and we must enact change now, while we still can, to avert this path.

… I don’t talk to any of them any more, as they all thought I was insane…

They didn’t believe ‘it could happen here.’

And now, it has.

And most of them would either entirely deny that it ‘has happened’, as they are neck deep in QAnon/MAGA insanity…

…or they would tell me that simultaneously they don’t remember me explaining how and why this could happen, how it became more and more likely as the years went by… and also, at the same time, just remember me being hysterical, about something, vaguely, for no reason they can remember.
