We cannot sit by idly and watch this country continue to decline. We cannot support eliminating policies that support the LGBTQI community, or immigrants, or women. I don't understand the endgame. Truly it is nonsensical. Why would he crash the stock market, jack up inflation, increase tariffs, give tax cuts to the uber rich which will be absorbed the middle class and poor? At some point there will be no way to sustain life. People will not be spending anything because they will not be able to afford it. Housing costs have not gone down, the cost of eggs and gas have risen. How does this benefit the government if no one spends money?
I have written a few letters, sent emails and made phone calls thinking these would all be effective. Then I saw something that most officials throw mail away or delete emails. Phone calls seem to be effective and efficient. (but only if you are a constituent of the state representative or senator that you are calling). I refuse to believe any of that. Contacting your representatives is effective. Taking to the streets is effective. Sharing information is another way to combat the misinformation age we are living in.
For example, blaming the plane crash in D.C. on DEI hires. Not only disgusting/offensive but so ridiculous. Not being sympathetic to the families that lost loved ones. Instead, being so insensitive and mocking the situation. I don't think there has been an official statement on the plane failure in Philadelphia.
The tariffs that he chose to place on our allies will affect all of us. He doesn't care. Actually, admitted that the middle class would hurt and have to absorb this but in the end it would improve. What planet does he live on? Choosing to fuck people over to destabilize and divide us. It is appalling.
I haven't been able to sleep. I am stressed out. My cycle is all over the place and I think, some of my friends think I am overreacting. I don't think that I am. I don't know how to explain it. I am concerned about the willingness to sleepwalk into autocracy.
Continue to resist and do your part. Whatever that looks like. Showing up for someone, sharing information, joining a protest, donating your time/resources, blogging, writing, creating content. Don't be silent.
