ppl say 'dont sign up for a protest, stupid!'
but what is a mass call your reps campaign but a protest that usually involves verbally/in writing filling out a damned form with contact info first!?
sure some reps probably arent databasing it, but others surely ARE
make a risk assessment, all im sayin

some reps do seem to be moved by it, im not saying its not an effective way to influence politics, & some of the more prog or centrist dems are probably safe
but with the right & some of the center/right dems? unless theyre getting so many calls they cant track them all it seems rather dangerous

theres no way some of them arent making databases of this, right?
ppl telling others to call their fascist senators. you think some of these ppl arent making lists of enemy citizens to punish later?
even some dem senators are evil & right wing enough to do that.
seems risky as hell in certain places

they probably are, i hope, i just love to have any excuse to mention i was there for that lol. feels like ive never seen anyone talk about how insane that was

like i hate to be bitter bc its nice for ppl to grow to be kinder and overall better ppl but its frustrating to see that growth pay off for ppl in that they get to have fun with others and i get the same fuckall ive always had

no amount of telling me to be confident and unapologetic about it changes the fact that the world doesnt like me the way i am
