Euphemisms mitigate the threat. Medicaid isn’t “going away” because of unnamed “federal lawmakers.” It is at risk of being gutted by Republicans. What will happen? People will get sicker and die. Republicans, own this.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

This. Absolutely this.
You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

This is the inherent difference between liberals and MAGA - we want EVERYONE to flourish. It’s called being a decent human.
My rage goes back and forth from "What the fuck is wrong with Americans?" to "Fuck them all - they'll get president and the country they deserve." The fact is I will probably be fine no matter what. But I wanted OTHER PEOPLE to be fine.
