I'm done for today.

I get people panicking, I feel it too.

But I've blocked so many people today for wishing for violence, saying voting doesn't matter, etc.

I have no tolerance for that. None.

And then one coming in saying that I was "for the status quo" and blocking me... that was mature. From kolektiva server, so there's that.

Seriously, I'm so over today.

I hope those of you who are more rational have a more peaceful evening.

Today sucked, but let's stay rational. PLEASE.

@GottaLaff Thank you, Laffy. I'm scared and worried, but you always have something to say that keeps my feet at least toetip on the ground!

I don't want violence (though I do agree with MLK about the voice of the unheard) -- but what I don't understand is why we aren't taking to the streets in peaceful protest nationwide. I guess somebody has to start it and lead it. But who is that person? Who are those people? Am I naive for thinking such a protest would effect any kind of beneficial change?

I am with you 100%. Take a deep breath, get a good night's sleep.

Remember much of the noise about this is being amplified by Russian assets, I believe there is much more calm under that churned surface.

Keep the faith!

@MylesRyden I don’t do faith. But the rest, absolutely.

Not that faith, the one in democracy 😉

Sorry that you are getting that crap too. I think we all are getting some flack but you probably are targeted more because you do very good coverage of the days events every day.
Have a good evening and thanks for all you do for the community :blobcatheart:

@GottaLaff I guess I should just take my panicky irrational self, ignore the evidence of my own eyes and ears, and STFU. 😑

@stephenesherman If that’s how you interpreted what I said, then you should read it again. You’re way off.

You should read his derogatory posts and then seriously debate on whether you want to bother with someone like that...
He's a pundit.

If violence is the answer, allow me to ask, why did everyone get so upset about January 6 2021? In fact, Charlottesville, Oklahoma City Murrah Building, etc., etc.

Anger is fine, and frustration is fine... but put the energies that build along with those emotions to beneficial use. VOTE-VOTE-VOTE, state & federal elections, the vote is your cudgel.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Atticus1956 which is exactly why I empathized with everyone… with the exception of suggesting violence and bashing voting. @stephenesherman

@stephenesherman @GottaLaff Deep breath Stephen. Your panic and irrationality doesn’t help anyone right now, not even you.

We need to think…and develop a plan. Beyond voting for Biden in Nov. What’s after that?

@GottaLaff I’m scared, too. And angry.

But no, let’s not do the things we don’t want Donald Trump and the Republican party to do.

@GottaLaff Kolektiva has a bunch of really weird cultural shit going on in their server. All of the cool anarchists I know moved over to jorts for a reason.

The media is a psyop designed to encourage doomspiraling and anxiety.

Folks need to ignore the noise and stay on target. Stop the outright goddam fascist and then we can get to work on the center-right.

@GottaLaff silent lurker who you've helped understand all this. Remember Biden is and has smart people that have been anticipating worse case. I'd like to hope there is a plan for this already thought out. The immunity goes both ways. For now
