Since Tuesday I have not read anything. I just can’t. I have however been thinking about my reactions to the election results and my choice of how I will live under the christofascist regime. I am realizing that for me, it will be different this time.
I am now carefully dipping my toe into SubStack posts. At this point, I am not interested in the “what went wrong” articles. Nor am I really interested in the “we must fight” or the “we must plan for the future to defeat trumpism” or “yada yada”. I am thinking carefully about which posts that I will (eventually) return to reading regularly and which I will let go.
You, my dear Ogre are currently performing well in the rankings. This post was spot on, even though I couldn’t get all the way to the end of it. That is on me, not you. (I marked it to return to and try again).
Over the next week or so, as I re-emerge from my self imposed exile, I will expand on my ideas and publish in my SubStack, Sky High.
Oh, and at this point, Corporate Media is dead to me.
I agree--the what went wrong shit is just blaming women and minorities, which feels like a set up to stab us in the back. At the point, I don't feel like I have a party any more. And plan for the future to defeat Trumpism? Okay then--I suppose they haven't read project 2025? The horse has already left the barn--I am just angry at what was lost and I a refuse to be finger wagged or told not to be pissed the fuck off.
If you need a break, you can temporarily deactivate your Facebook account. That’s what I did. You don’t lose all your settings, pictures,etc., and you don’t have to see all the people you thought had brains in their heads wagging their fingers at the rest of us.
Maybe the death of corporate media in your life might be just what the doctor ordered. And maybe you couldn't finish this article, bc you had reached your recommended daily allowance of venom and hate and despair and all things negative. You can do better than this.
Thanks for saying what I've been too angry/sad/distracted to articulate. As the daughter of Sicilian and Irish parentage, spiteful pettiness is my love language. I am the elderly female embodiment of Nelson from 'The Simpsons'; my strident, "Ah-ha!" is always at the ready.
My GOD...I KNEW there were so many stupid Americans, but THIS MANY???
No, I think you've always been petty, bc petty people always say "I didn't used to be petty" before they demonstrate just how petty (and arrogant!) they truly are.
Why, because you're so intellectually superior to the masses? Maybe YOU'RE the stupid one and you've been brainwashed to believe you're so right and so much more educated and so much better than the majority of people who voted. It would certainly serve their purpose to have you thinking that way.
Definitely not a democrat! Why would you even say that?! Low blow! Omniscience? 😄😄😄 Yes, it is a nice island. Are you planning to bomb it? You certainly have enough negative energy to do so. But there are mostly your own people here! Are they just collateral damage? No YOU drop dead. 😄😄 That sounds adorable!
I guarantee Fox and the MSM will rave about the economy being “so good” like a week after FDJT is sworn back in. I expect him to fumble another pandemic in the next three years.
Rs can try to implement a lot of Project 2025 (like a national abortion ban) but they’ll have a slim House and Senate majority. They could theoretically push a ban and carve out a filibuster exception — but the backlash will further fuel the 2026 midterm backlash. Ds in Congress are going to fight hard & plenty of activist groups will sue his administration (and slow and stymie his agenda).
The christo-fascists will have a gate-keeper, who isolates any information from getting to the Orange Orc. They have a plan to outlaw abortion through the zombie Comstock act
Comstock was chronic masturbator obsessed with pornography, so he got an 'obscenity law" passed to stop himself, it became illegal to mail anything deemed 'Obscene' through the mail. Since the CF think anything sexual is 'obscene' they will extend it to abortion pills and access to any abortifacients.
Wow. You people spend an awful lot of time just stewing in every negative emotion known to man (I know you all secretly think of murder and death), while you keep yourselves afloat with your overblown self-images of superiority. Why don't you all go outside and do a good deed, help a neighbor, feel the sun on your face, smile at a stranger, go buy yourself a treat, mingle with happy people, stop thinking. Why do you take everything so personally? Why is everything the end of the world to you? Jesus.
I don't know, Justin, Schadenfreude has a certain satisfaction to it, but we're all together though it may be in different parts of the boat. If the Rs manage to kill SS, their wet dream of 90 years, yes it will affect those who voted for him but it will also affect those who didn't vote for him. If the stock market tanks -- and Proud Navy Veteran over on Twitter has described a nightmare scenario of what might follow -- same thing. Part of me wants "them" to suffer, yet are we really those kind of people?
My fantasy is the Joe uses those magnificent powers SCOTUS has granted him, declares a whole bunch of people domestic enemies and acts in a "decisive" fashion. I'll let anyone reading infer what they will.
My fervent prayer is Biden striking a match on his way out of the White House door, igniting the whole mess and leaving Trump a smoking pile of rubbish to clean up. Why not? Half the country already believes he's a doddering simp intent on fucking up "their" America, why not prove them right?
SCOTUS has granted the President wide berth to do WHATEVER THE FUCK HE WANTS, so I say go for it. Start with expansion and term limits for the Supreme Court. While they're busy with THAT, go to work on everything else that levels the playing field.
By the time the crippled legal system catches up, Biden will be dead, or close to it...and that Seal team 6 scenario? Here's hoping Dark Brandon has the guts to execute that or some equivalent.
"My fantasy is the Joe uses those magnificent powers SCOTUS has granted him, declares a whole bunch of people domestic enemies and acts in a "decisive" fashion."
That's been my fantasy ever sine SCotUS gave Biden the "free to commit crimes" card. He'll never do it, of course, because that-would-violate-norms-and-is-not-how-responsible-people-behave bullshit. So I know it will always remain a fantasy.
They're going to march us to the ovens while those it the best positions to stop them sing "But Fighting Back Effectively would be Wrong" as they march beside us.
My fantasy is going home, lighting the fire pit and fucking the brains out of my gorgeous boyfriend, right next to the fire. My fantasy is going to be reality soon and it's way better than your's. WAY. I can't even imagine having ANY fantasy that involves Joe Biden. Good lord! 😬😬
😄😄😄 Just found myself, all of a sudden, surrounded by a miserable group of sad sacks and felt compelled to respond. You guys need to snap out of it! The world still turns, get a grip.
I was reading this article while accompanying my husband to his physical therapy session. He walks with a cane after suffering a stroke in June. He was then 49 years old, now 50. We feel fortunate that he is able to walk short distances with the cane. As he turned his body to open the car door and get in, he saw a 20-something kid walking with his girlfriend, making fun of him! Faking a gimpy walk with a cane. A small satisfaction when his girl gave him a look...and he stopped. Lucky I didn't see him or I would have had strong words. My point is, he learned this in part from Donald Trump and his ilk. The time he made fun of the disabled reporter. I wish the fires of a thousand hells on this young 'man'. And now, I'm full of raging spite also. So thank you and that kid for turning me from despair and total withdrawal from the world, although I still refuse to watch cable news. I will not listen to Donald Trump's voice again, nor any of his minions.
Dude, I'm SO right there with you! I'm gonna rub their fucking noses in it every chance I get. "You voted for this, stupid. Maybe next time you can ask the smart people you know how they're voting."
You people are a bunch of venomous haters! To the point of mental illness, I think. Maybe you've always been this way, it seems to come naturally. I can only handle so much exposure until my toxicity meter goes off. Time to flee. Have fun in your shared misery. I guess if that's all you have to share, it's at least common ground. Cheers! Here's to wallowing! 🍹🍾🍷🍸🍺🍹🍷🍸🍹🍻🍾🍺🍼🍼🍼
100%!!! Because that’s how much (more or less) everything will cost once the Orange Fuckwit puts tariffs on everything. Will I still laugh when my Medicare and Social Security get slashed? Of course. Just knowing that MAGA fools will have it so much worse will cheer me up. Also knowing that Dems will throw monkey wrenches into the red cog machine helps. I doubt I will keep calm, but I will carry on.
I'm with you, spite works just fine for this pissed off woman! I live in a red state, sadly, but plan to move overseas as soon as possible. Fuck Trump and his toadies, fuck the legacy media, fuck everyone blaming Kamala, fuck this fucking country and all the dumbfucks who voted for fascism!
Pretty sure the PA thing has been debunked. It’s the interwebs. A series of tubes. Need to verify sources. Other than that. Best line was about crying loud enough to hear it over the laughter. 🤙

Alicia. Perfectly describes my feelings.
Fist Bump
You people celebrate your immersion in negativity?
You people? Block.
Thank you!
Also worth consideration: Bluesky as an alternative to Xitter. 😎✌️
I never did Twitter so I don’t miss it.
Thanks for the recommendation in case I find it necessary to have an alternative.
I joined Bluesy and also like Threads. Off Twitter. May cancel my Amazon subscription. Torn about Facebook as all my friends and family on it.

My GOD...I KNEW there were so many stupid Americans, but THIS MANY???
That's the part I cannot reconcile.
I didn't used to be petty, but I'll learn, and totally agree about the the brain-washed ignorant masses, it's "Idiocracy " come true.
I’m sure I can learn to be petty and spiteful more easily than those fuckers could ever learn to be kind and compassionate. And it’s time.
Nahh, you're giving yourself way too much credit. You already ARE petty and spiteful.
No, I think you've always been petty, bc petty people always say "I didn't used to be petty" before they demonstrate just how petty (and arrogant!) they truly are.
This!
Agree, my mind is blown and I can hardly believe that there are that many Stupids in this country.
Why, because you're so intellectually superior to the masses? Maybe YOU'RE the stupid one and you've been brainwashed to believe you're so right and so much more educated and so much better than the majority of people who voted. It would certainly serve their purpose to have you thinking that way.

I feel every word of this IN MY BONES. I am also seething with anger and I can’t wait to laugh along with you at their suffering.
This is 100% my energy. Any time I see someone gloating about getting fuck-o reelected, I just say, “I hope you get EXACTLY what you voted for.”
Me too.
...hard!

"Ds in Congress are going to fight hard"
I hope so. But based on past experience, not hard enough.
The christo-fascists will have a gate-keeper, who isolates any information from getting to the Orange Orc. They have a plan to outlaw abortion through the zombie Comstock act

Don’t forget banning porn! That should make the Trump fan boys cry pretty hard.
Hahaha! We knew what they voted for, sex with consequences - 3 minutes and 9 months! Hahaha
I know, right? What are they going to do all day?
I guess since all they do now is play video games and jack off to porn, they’ll just play video games. Baby men, all of them.
You are NOT an Ethereal Fairy, Natalie.
Won’t it be fun to try to get through a pandemic with RFK Junior going wild in medicine?
Wow. You people spend an awful lot of time just stewing in every negative emotion known to man (I know you all secretly think of murder and death), while you keep yourselves afloat with your overblown self-images of superiority. Why don't you all go outside and do a good deed, help a neighbor, feel the sun on your face, smile at a stranger, go buy yourself a treat, mingle with happy people, stop thinking.

This is the ultimate FAFO, MAGAts.
Will we say “we told you so you morons!”
Damn fuckn’ right…
Magats. I love that. 😄

God I hope Dark Brandon comes out!
I’m thinking Dark Brandon has immunity and the Navy Seals and the CIA, among others. I see a plan there
Don’t forget he has immunity

⬆️ Pathetic desperate-for-attention troll. Do not feed. ⬆️
Oh, I see…you added pathetic! Nice touch. Feed me some more. 💟🇺🇸💟🇺🇸💟🇺🇸💟🇺🇸💟
You already said this. 💟💟 And you're feeding me!
As the reigning Queen of Petty, I cannot emphasize strongly enough the need to let these fucks find out. They earned it.

I find Trump’s voice triggers a migraine. So I refuse to watch or listen to it. It’s not like he ever says anything smart.
Dude, I'm SO right there with you! I'm gonna rub their fucking noses in it every chance I get. "You voted for this, stupid. Maybe next time you can ask the smart people you know how they're voting."
You people are a bunch of venomous haters! To the point of mental illness, I think. Maybe you've always been this way, it seems to come naturally.

Thank you. Dark days ahead.
TFG will never understand what a tariff is and how it impacts the population. Plus, he will continue to cheat at golf. TFG = The Felon Golfer
I'm with you, spite works just fine for this pissed off woman! I live in a red state, sadly, but plan to move overseas as soon as possible. Fuck Trump and his toadies, fuck the legacy media, fuck everyone blaming Kamala, fuck this fucking country and all the dumbfucks who voted for fascism!
It’ll be like the cherry on top of a schadenfreude sundae! Delish!
