Just a guy up in the PNW. I came to Mastodon in 2018 wondering if I would find myself more inclined to socialize than I was on the birdsite (still there but not active, https://twitter.com/TerrapinV) - but I didn't end up establishing an active presence here for various mundane reasons. Not sure what will happen this time! But I like what I see. Currently I almost never post, I am mainly inclined to lurk and listen. But hello.

I hurt too, everyone. Deeply. Excruciatingly.

I hear you. I'm with you.

But honestly, some of your suggestions are completely unrealistic, violent, and/or not going to happen. I do understand the reason for them though.

I understand your gut reactions.

But let's keep our heads.

Biden is not going to do most of what you're wishing. Or maybe any of the things.

VOTE your asses off... somehow. Get everyone you know to do the same. & keep fighting hard for democracy.

Kthxbye.

@GottaLaff Murc's Law in effect, as always

@GottaLaff Murc’s Law: “the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics”. The eternal and infuriating posture that anything bad that happens is either the Dem's fault for provoking it, or the Dem's fault for not stopping it.

@GottaLaff Yeah ever since I became aware of Murc's Law I've found it to be a great magnifying glass for scrutinizing political opinions (especially from news media) and once you start you see it everywhere. Maddening but clarifying.

@GottaLaff Oh I know, it is clear in your writing 👍
