    And just like everybody else, you forgot the Native Americans.

    You know, the ones that they’re trying to remove their citizenship based on some 140-year-old law that has already been superseded by other better law?

      One of my best friends in childhood was Duwamish, and his family had it rough. Haven’t seen him in 50 years, and all that was forgotten come meme-making time. I’m guilty as charged, sorry.

      I really, really, don’t understand how/why Native Americans are treated so bad. It makes no sense to me. Then their artifacts and regalia will be copied or sold for top dollar. It’s insane.

    How did we get to this, I thought the progress he have made would have actually stuck in some people’s heads (I’ve voters). Unfortunately, some people don’t understand what the progress was for because all they think about are their wallets and control of others

    I’m not even in the US and I’m worrying. Especially due to the fact that I’m both Moroccan and queer (specifically aroace). Guess I’m not visiting the US at all during his term.

      Don’t visit us. Don’t travel here. They need to understand there’s financial consequences to making this country unwelcoming.

        This is the advice I’m following. And it’s really sad because I was so interested in seeing the US in person for a really long time. Now some scumbag came to ruin it all.

      Ace of hearts here:

      At least us ace folk can hide more easily. Nobody knows I’m ace unless I specifically tell them. I don’t hide it - it’s just not a topic that comes up. I’m just a single dude as far as most people know.

        It’s not really as easy for me because I’ve been a victim of sexual harassment quite a few times, mostly by men (I am male). Classmates keep resenting me for “not acting normal” and have accused me of misogyny and being gay. Parents called my asexuality “not normal at all”. Hell, my dad accused me of atheism simply for not wanting children. I just can’t stand being bullied by society all the time.

          Screw ‘society’. You’re better than ‘society’.

          If you’re ever in Seattle, DM me and I’ll take you to breakfast.

        You live in a place where nobody has an issue with not being interested in relationships. But where I live, it’s literally a giant problem.

        Also, yeah I might not get deported, but I could still face arrest, you know. At this point it’s a miracle nobody managed to convince the police that I deserve to be in jail in my country, let alone the US under the new Trump administration.

        And I never wanted to immigrate to the US, I just wanted to drop in and say hi, spend time for a few weeks and leave. That alone requires a visa too, you know. And different countries get different amounts of restrictions. I’m just glad I’m not banned from entry altogether. And even then, facing prejudice is still very possible.

        You quite literally ruined my day.

    What are you saying? That contacting the police is insufficient for someone’s personal safety and defense?

    Perhaps the democrats should reconsider their anti gun policies then.

      Judge them not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, which for both of them is shit.

    Nobody’s going to be fine. Tariffs on our 3 biggest trade partners are going to raise the prices of nearly everything by 25%

      Well, not soon, I hope.

      That’s my escape route, too. I’m bloody old, and hoping to be dead before the complete collapse of everything. But I’m healthy, and Trump is really floorboarding us toward the end, so…

        I’ve apparently seen the best the world has to offer. “Living in the lap of luxury” technology provides (excusing all the nightmares) and I’m not impressed. We can deal with all our external physical needs apparently but lord help us if we try to address the deep hurt and suffering we cause one another everyday.

          Yeah, society is insane, and was even before Trump and his ilk. Everyone is at least a little fucked-up in the head, and the few people who seem fairly sane are probably just better at hiding their troubles. I’ve got e-hugs if you need one.

    I’m British so I’m not saying the next few years are going to be the rosiest for me but I’m thankful I don’t have to deal with decisions made by these dick bags.
