Relax, this nice wholesome old movie (which was my "Hannah Montana"), that I watched when I was 10, will make it all feel better x

    As a Black trans American I have always lived like this. It wasn't until a few years ago when it started to get better so I'll be fine.    Learn how to protect yourself and those you love. F

  • Not really. I've learned through history how things move and there are periods of prosperity and peace, and other more bleak periods of conflict and mayhem (out on Friday). This seems like a period of

No. Even if WW3 were to start Americans are privileged in the fact that nothing will really come to our immediate doorstep. As far as American politics go, also no because we luckily live in a system of states where each have their own rights and protections of their citizens no matter what Trump does federally. I never found it productive to be afraid of things I have zero control over. And if Covid taught me anything it's that I learned I'm able to adapt pretty well when everything goes to hell.

im not scared bc i cant live my life in fear. 

 

but im numb and disappointed.

Naur idc right now. Not much I can do about everything, I just won't worry as long as I can. Enjoy what I have now in case it's worse later 

Yes terrified. I've been put on notice by job, now i worry about my healthcare and my student loan forgiveness.

 

All within two months of him being elected as well.

No. 
 

Disappointed beyond belief, in both our citizens, and "leaders" who failed and got us here. But no. 
 

I've already had a beyond traumatic 2025, so I'm drowning myself in beautiful men, and the very real possibiltiy that I'll be moving somewhere else this time next year 

No, i'm livid. Why are people scared, you should be angry and pissed.

they want you to be scared.

Not necessarily. Anyone with common sense could've seen this coming for the past four years, especially since summer 2024. I've had time to prepare myself, both mentally and financially. 

 

Annoyed and upset is more accurate.

I was definitely a bit scared after Election Day, and then again after his inauguration, but I had to let it go and focus on things that I can control. There's simply no benefit to living my life in fear. 

Im scared :giraffe: My brother lives in the USA. In a red state. latino legal Inmigrant.
Studying and working but not as privileged as so many americans. So there's no safety net
And i been adivising to see him if its worthy to return here to Southmerica but he doesnt want to* so imagine how worried i am
I would love for my brother to be in Europe instead. Spain, France, Italy.......the things in america are takin a dark turn. Specially with all those nazis*



Real terrified about My country future too :emofish:
We had one of the best healthcare systems in the americas and we fell like like 42 positions. Its gettin real hard now to get appointments and meds
Everything gettin crazily expensive. Taxes and more taxes for everything. People from 1-2 socia stratification. I dont know how they afford to eat 3 daily meals We lost our energy independency. Our president decided to stop it and buy from outside. Now all those services gettin real expensive and there's chances of blackouts.  Corruption cases everywhere. Probably the most corrupt goverment we ever had. There's a scandal every week-month :rip:
 political campaign was illegal backed by narco money. Bribin all the people from the congress. Basically buying everything to have control of the country and politicians here are so damn corrupt.  Insurgent groups takin over my country. Theyre growin more each day. 3 regions are already a no-visit zone We are back to 80s-90s with bombing and stuff
Unhinged president havin random x-twitter rants cause he's addicted to drugs-alcohol.
The crazy thing is how the international media-people in an echo chamber praise his nonsense all the time but the people of my country know the truth :rip: 
parasocial fanbase ready to defend every single thing of him-this goverment. Basically we have our own version of the trumpsters but in reverse.
And our govemrnet also has his own channel like fox news and twitter bodegas (paying them) so they keep their brainwashed cult

and now the elections are coming next year and all the candidates are a mess too. 
but if the current goverments is able to return. Is over for my country. This country will just be another failed state
So yep worried about all of this :suburban: but life is not fair. 
So take a deep breath and keep goin

Not scared so much as sad to see us going backwards. Sad on an existential level. We always want to progress and when the opposite happens it just defies human nature and human potential.
