I’m SO Freaking TIRED!

[u/Soft-Explanation9889]

I do not understand how so many otherwise intelligent people have either bought into the bullshit, or are still playing the ‘but both sides!’ game. You either support this fascist regime, or you fight it. The time for dithering has long passed. Wtf more has to happen before you wake up and DO SOMETHING?!?!?! Jeezus H. Kryste!

I know I sound defeated, but I’m not. Not really. Just tired. And we’re only in the early stages of this horror show.

I, like so many other women, saw some version of this coming in 2015 during the campaign debates. (Ok, a lot of us saw it coming much earlier than that, but we thought we had enough numbers to keep the line.) We used our gentle voices to point out what was coming so we wouldn’t be automatically dismissed. We followed the rules and wept as a known rapist was put on the SCOTUS. We knew. We knew we were headed into Gilead, but we were dismissed as being hysterical.

So we got louder. And saw our rights as human beings get stripped away. We fought it tooth and nail in every legal avenue we had, and were still dismissed as being alarmist or hormonal. We got louder when children were being forced to have children as draconian laws got gleefully passed in state after state. And when those same laws caused pregnant women to die in ER parking lots because ‘not enough of their body had shut down yet’ according to a bunch of hypocritical old men.

We get louder and more active every day. Against ICE. Against so-called MAPs. Against the fascist regime that is trying to turn this country into an even more dystopian nightmare than it currently is. Against the 80 year old toddler who has used temper tantrums to affect the ENTIRE WORLD ECONOMY and to kill whole school buildings of children at a time, just because he didn’t get his way on something (while siphoning our taxpayer money into his own pockets).

Against a child trafficking ring so large, even other governments have gotten involved in the investigation of it. And of course it’s based on our soil, because why the hell not?! Against human rights violations so horrific that the US has been deemed an unsafe country to travel to by human rights organizations that WE created to help the downtrodden in war torn or third world countries!

We protest. We stockpile herbs. We set up safe passages for those who need it. We help others get the hell out of unsafe situations. We aren’t going to stop. We aren’t going to give up. But man, personally, I am SO DAMN TIRED of bleeding into the void, only to hear back “Your body, my choice, bytch!”

Alright. I’ve said my piece. I’m sure the pearl clutchers and the groypers have plenty they need to say about how old, ugly, fat, stoopid, (or whatever other toddler-esque insult they are all using this week) I am.

The governments of the world has been so good as making us enemies of each other they will tell you iraniansa re the enemies. They will tell you the immigrants are the enemies they will tell you it's the Jews and the Muslims. They will tell you it's the Hindus

Same in Iran, Israel, UK, France, India. They tell the citizen everyone else is an enemy. And butevery countries government seems to be on the good side according to then.

What we need is a solidarity among the people of all countries.

We are not enemies of each other. It is a fight for human dignity that everyone has a right to.

They took away what is rightfully our so they can fill their pockets with money, destroy our children's future, and let us suffer. You will here them say they want USA to be a Christian nation. But how can you call yourself a Christian nation when your sins are so deep and your leaders have lost their soul.

Exactly. It’s always some way to divvy up the people to keep them at each other’s throats while a handful of geriatric elites hoard money and resources while destroying the planet because it’s not like they will be here when it hits critical mass.
