    Obligatory: If you are at all considering suicide, seek help. Call your national/regional hotline, etc.

    Also: What do you think you are even accomplishing? You are screaming like a child that the world should reconfigure itself to what you want or else you will kill yourself.

    if you ACTUALLY want to make a difference? Get involved with local politics. The president can’t actually do much. Even trump is largely an ineffective figurehead. The reason he was so devastating is because the bushes and reagan were so devastating before him. And, in large part, republicans accomplish that by taking over school boards and focusing on local elections so that they can gerrymander and usurp democracy.

    We, as Liberals and Leftists, need to fight back. And that means getting involved with local politics. Do you hate that your Senator is a DINO dipshit? Work with local politics and the Democratic Party to get more left leaning youngsters onto the ballot. Make sure your state government is full of people who will fight back against election fraud. And so forth.

    Because Gaza? We, as a planet, abandoned them decades ago. This is the result. I would like to think there is a way we could help them but every day’s horrors make me increasingly convinced that the time to do that was the 90s and 00s. But we CAN help the next Gaza.
