The trans people are crying (lemmy.nz)

Drag has spent all day in voice chat with drag's trans friends in America and now they're crying. They're going to die if they don't pack up their entire lives and never see their family again, and they don't even know how to financially accomplish that. No matter what happens, their lives as they know them are over, and they're going to suffer. They thought they had more time. They thought Harris was going to win. Now they know that if they can't get out, they're going to be murdered. They're scared and sad and they're crying.

Fuck every single person who contributed to this. Drag's friends didn't deserve this. Whatever fascist agenda made anyone think this was an okay outcome, fuck them. This is not okay!

Everyone is understandably mad and afraid.

Mad? No. Furious. I'm now going to be counting days until people that I love die. No suicides in my circle yet that I know of but, there probably will be.

Politicians have failed us once more

No.

(Non-)Voters failed us yet again. The blood is solidly on their selfish, myopic hands.

I can't disagree with anything you've said.

I've tried to come up with something more to say, but I don't want to sound patronizing. I basically just wanted to acknowledge your anger since you took the time to respond to me. I didn't want to seem like I ignored you.

Thank you. I hope you and those that you know are safe and well.
