This election is going to tear everyone who isn't on the right apart, and that's by design. We're being conditioned to toxically destroy and alienate one another and I hate and am terrified of that
It's basically compulsory if you're queer and not in a well paying job with great benefits in a state that already protects your right to not get fired in an active way to have a friend circle consisting largely of people adjacent to Rose Twitter, which then pushes you >
> to not support your own interests, or convinces you there's no hope because an ideal candidate didn't win. But you can't just jump into regular "liberal" circles either, ESPECIALLY not if you're trans, bc they don't protect enough against active bigotry
So I'm sitting here just wanting ANYTHING but the current fascist tyrant, I'm getting angry DMs from both sides, I basically depend on Twitter for support and frankly we all do right now because of the Viruspocalypse, and there's nothing I can do
It's like when a Bioware game makes you choose between two party members, only it's like half your party members randomly selected on each side, and one side is also the turian counsellor who doesn't want to fight the Reapers
Right now my timeline is a clusterfck and people are jumping all over each other and many of these people are my friends and *none of us are the problem, the fascists are* but the circles we're in force these skewed views of each other as the real enemy
