    Some Americans.

    I can’t fathom how so many people can look at Trump and see President material. And I know no single motivation covers all of them.

    But like, even if you looked at Kamala and thought, “Meh.” Fuck, even if you looked at her and thought, “Ugh.” How can you look at Trump and think he is in any way better.

    He is going to steal from us. Probably billions of dollars for his stupid fucking family. He is going to be the most corrupt motherfucker we’ve ever seen lead America, and I don’t say that lightly. And the money that isn’t stolen will go into stupid fucking projects like building walls and proping up Musks failing companies. Oh, did I say money that wasn’t stolen, I meant money that was stolen differently.

    People are going to die. We have to face the possibility of an actual abortion ban that no one fucking wants. Women will die. Everyone will die if they ban vaccines. Let’s have polio back again so we can create good American jobs building more iron lungs for people to live inside for 75 years. The economy will be in shambles because “tariff everything” just fucking means “raise the price on everything.”

    To say absolutely fucking nothing of Project 2025 and the welcoming of fascism to America. And I feel pretty certain that Trump will just sign an executive order granting Russian agents top security clearance.

    And you say, name me one fucking thing that will be better in America if he’s President and what do they have? Fucking migrant farm workers won’t be picking crops.

    We have all failed each other. Because how we can live in a fucking country where people like that are just out and about instead of in an insane asylum or riding the short bus once a week to spend their disability on a fucking happy meal, is just completely unfathomable to me.

      People living in rural areas don’t see issues with homelessness, healthcare, transit, trans-rights, gay-rights, ect. They are in a bubble shut off from most of that. All they see is the taxes the government takes.

        Man, I’m gonna be straight with you I don’t see the homeless issue because I live in snowy flyover country and if there’s a state not to be fucking homeless… well it’s probably Alaska, but we’ve gotta be in the top 10, anyway. Transit? We don’t have any. No one fucking cares. Buy a god damned car. Healthcare? I’m ignorant of healthcare issues other than in my experience it fucking sucks more the higher the population density is.

        Human rights. LTBTQ rights. Women’s rights. Yeah I get that. I’m with you. It’s not my personal issue as such, but I have women in my life. Gay people. Trans people. Because I don’t live in a fucking cave and people are people everywhere.

        But I didn’t say all that to sound like an asshole. I really didn’t. I’m a little punchy. I didn’t sleep last night. I’m saying, I’m so extremely privileged that I can identify with people who say none of those issues are my fucking problem and I still don’t want that fucker anywhere near the god damned Whitehouse.

          I’m just really privileged as an Oregonian and hope to someday be extremely privileged and move to Alaska!
