You do not vote fascism away. Even though this feels obvious, the right-wing political establishment in the U.S. has accomplished something remarkable with the help of the Democratic Party. They managed to shift the discourse so far right that they normalized positions that were possibly once inconceivable for many liberal voters.

Democrat politicians have long tried to appeal to increasingly fascistic rhetoric by boasting about compromises and their conservative shifts on issues like immigration and foreign policy. Yet, Democrats are not in opposition in this regard, so they made this continual movement right some sort of deluded progress. This isn’t a theory; we have one giant right wing in the U.S. with different components. The party switches of the past that took place because of conflicts over slavery and the civil rights movement may pale in comparison to this event. Unpacking what just happened, what happened in that not-so-distant past, and what seems inevitable now will help us face a new, unsettling reality.

If and when you break, it’s going to be a whopper. I speak from my own experience and this hurts my heart for you. Been there, done it and stayed there, for years. I’m glad I stuck with therapy and when I couldn’t, doggedly working on myself. I wish you all the very best.

I’m really sorry, that’s a big, bitter pill to swallow. I’m glad you’re journaling and working through your pain, grief, anger, trauma. I hope you are able to heal thoroughly, in your own time.

I’m really proud of you for seeking therapy. I hope it goes well and is effective for you. It often can make you go through periods of feeling worse before better. If it’s only worse without better, consider changing therapists after a couple or three months. Best to you.

Hey thank you for telling us this. It really helps me understand your posts through a different lens. Fwiw, based solely on your posts here, you seem to be managing pretty decently.

Happy tears? Yesterday, but not just washing my face. Really, really sad, emotional storm? A couple of years ago. Angry tears? Can’t remember. I’ve been working on myself and balancing out.

Physical pain? Can’t remember, but my eyes have watered a few times.

Nope!

Not believable enough!

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Sorry OP, it’s well done and this isn’t a dig at you.

Mammon are these people’s religion. Or Ba’al, depending on perspective.

It’s weird, full stop. Everyone is human, anyone can be wrong.

JD Vance lying about his truthfulness and integrity, both of which are non-existent.

“Under no guidance, they can fall into really, really bad habits. Under the right guidance, you can take this generation and use their skills [positively].”

That’s exactly what I thought when I read this. Or, the right guidance to persecute those who would speak truth to power and expose the G-d-awful truth of who we really are, in our very poor, misguided leadership.
