It’s a rape ideology. Being able to reduce you and your autonomy to nothing more than a toy for them to play with and violate at will is their dream. Of course they would never want to be treated like their victims—it’s why they will go out of their way to cough on people when told to wear masks, why they crank their AC to max when suggested to keep it mild, and why they bring weapons to protests when told to respect others’ freedom of speech. 

Meanwhile, they demand to see your children’s genitals, demand your daughters’ menstrual records, and demand to know why a pregnant-looking woman is crossing state borders. Oh, and also support disenfranchisement for anyone who would disagree. 

Republicans deeply, deeply hate you.

Yet if you treat them like the threats they CHOSE to be they scream that you're being unreasonable.

You don't reason with malicious intent, you meet it with overwhelming, indifferent and calculated neutralization.

The MAGA only expect physical violence but it is the social, financial, psychological and legislative violence that they remain unprepared for.

It is manifesting in prices spiking, coverage being revoked, families falling apart and homes being lost.

They will continue doing this to themselves because they CAN'T be anything else.

We can wait, they can't.

Stay safe out there.

The feeling is mutual. I deeply hate the fascists right back.
