I’m fucking old and getting older, and I’m getting more pissed off by the day. I don’t want to spend the remaining life I do have fighting or being a refugee, but it seems like I’m surrounded by suckers who are making sure I do. I don’t know what to do either.
Community with like minded folks
If you don’t own a gun yet, buy one ASAP because it’s going to get a lot harder for people like you in the coming years
my anxiety about the future got a lot better once i started looking into how we got into this mess and the whole thing started by watching democracy now before watching pbs, or cbs, or abc, etc.
Whenever i face difficult circumstances or uncomfortable feelings, meditation seems to help.
The Majority Report with Sam Seder just had a guest on today for an interview about this very topic. The guy’s name was Daniel Hunter and I found it solid.
The gist of the interview was that you can block boats that are carrying arms shipments with smaller boats and that might work for a while but the coast guard will probably fuck with you. So your best course of action is to get the dockworkers on your side and get them to not load the weapons onto the boats. I don’t know how much shipping is done in Utah as I’ve only been once.
I mean, unless they are ferrying weapons across the great salt lake, I don’t think it applies to me XD
But if Californians wanna disrupt all trade on the west coast I wish them all the luck.
Start CRIMP, the Committee to Re-IMpeach the President?
Did you think Kamala was gonna do anything? Calling yourself very left but donating to her is funny
Organize. And gather some people. Maybe start a new political party amd get Bernie Sanders as a consultant.

I feel you. We have to come to terms with the fact that we are the minority in this country and that most of our fellow citizens value their own self interest more than the promise of a better system for all Americans.
It’s a bitter pill to swallow. You’re going to resent your fellow Americans. I know I do.
The fact is all we can do now is try to survive and protect those we care about. I think spending energy on contesting the results is a waste of time. If they cheated on a scale that gave them millions of extra votes somebody would have found evidence by now. Truth is we lost. And enough Americans are ok with a convict rapist pedophile narcissistic serial liar being in charge of the worlds most powerful military that we actually are powerless. So that energy should instead be spent on anything we can do to protect those the administration is going to target. Keep your head down. But don’t give up.

You know what? That does help, thank you. This feeling you get when something goes terribly wrong that says “do something” can be good, but also very stressful because WTF are we supposed to do about an election like this?
I mean I hope they investigate, considering you know, the whole attempting to over throw the government thing. For all we know there already is evidence and they just are collecting. But yeah, not holding my breath for that one. I always knew we were bad at punishing criminal billionaires, but I would have never guessed “Rich man attempts to over throw government, is found guilty of various crimes and rape. Is handed government for his trouble.”
But sounds like we do have to wait and watch for at least the moment. I do hope maybe a few republican senators will want to slow things down, or at least want to pretend to be the sane ones.

Look into getting into local government, or supporting very left individuals who want to be. Changes of this scale has to start locally.
