Thank you. It gets so tiring seeing these people constantly shouting “WhY ARen’t YOu FIGhtinG bAck?” Whenever someone expresses fear about what’s been happening. Oh I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m a little preoccupied wondering how my family and I are going to fucking survive the next four years in the first place.
My wife’s disabled, we’ve got multiple autistic kids, my health isn’t the greatest, I’m trans but luckily I can still play cis. We can only afford to live because my wife gets Social Security Disability, and we have Medicaid and SNAP. All things they’re certainly going to be targeting. Yeah we’ll likely be shielded from some of the worst of this living in a blue state but I’m not sure how much even that’s going to protect us anymore.
Myeah… That sounds like something I’d get angry enough to strike over rather than to put my head down and “survive through it”, but that might be easier for me to say living not in the US.
What part of I care for multiple disabled family members and live in poverty did you miss? Yeah I can totally afford the financial upheaval of a strike or to get arrested or injured protesting. I’m sure my spouse can handle things without me.
I just hope the pseudotumor doesn’t act up and cause her to have a seizure at an unfortunate time. Or maybe it’ll be one of the ones where she temporarily loses a random chunk of her life and she won’t remember who they are or why she’s there that’d be fun.
That’s my point though. None of the people who keep commenting these things seem to give any thought to the possibility that the person saying they’re scared might not be able to actively resist. It never seems to be “if you’re able, you could try A, B, C. If not, then X, Y, Z, might help you stay safe.” It always seems to come off as them saying “Oh, you’re scared? Fight back then lol.”
Yes, the person with an income who is one of the minorities on Musk’s hit list should totally put themselves at risk of being killed in a protest by trump’s police goons when they have a disabled spouse and autistic kids to care for.
Why don’t you shut up and go protest FOR those who can’t?
I’m not American, and protesting in the Netherlands is not going to do anything.
That said, sincerely, if there are things I could do against who’s in power of the US right now, as it’s concerning Russia, Ukraine and possibly the safety of even my country, I’d love to know!
If it makes me seem slightly more credible, I’ve been in a protest against the police’s policy not to defend gay people, even as a straight person. Two gay men were beaten up in Arnhem a few years ago and the police decided to kind of “meh“ it off even if they wouldn’t do this when it concerned straight people. Needless to say thousands protested.
So seeing Americans casually suggest to just shuffle money so that you have less chance of fascists finding you while not doing anything not even trying to vote them out completely shocks me!

I think we can both agree you’re quite an exception.
That’s my point though. None of the people who keep commenting these things seem to give any thought to the possibility that the person saying they’re scared might not be able to actively resist.
