As a US citizen, paying for veterans healthcare and early education programs advance my interests a whole fucking lot more than paying this jackass.
Stupid piece of shit, you don't speak for us.
I know what you mean but he does, quite literally, speak for us now. This is what we asked for.
I sure as fuck didn't, I voted against every single fascist asshole on my balot. I'm just angry.
In like a 3rd party way or an actual way?
Collectively protest the most American way possible. Stop buying anything but the essentials. Don't cut out life enjoyment, but make sure it's for as few dollars as possible. This fucks with the supply chains and their precious stocks.
I already do that cause I'm broke as shit 😅 most of what I let myself buy is stuff that makes it a little easier to manage my sleep disorder
Right there with you
So did I but unfortunately we lost. That's democracy in action. The country we live in (the collective we) asked for this.
Thanks for voting. You're justified in being angry. There's a lot to be angry about. Right now we need to focus on blocking every action of this government. We need to shine a light on candidates doing the right thing and bring them up to positions of leadership.
