13? Days (US Election) // FUCKKK.

[opheliaoveragain]

I've been honest with a lot of people. If Trump wins, I'm out of here. I'm not going through that again. The first time around I fell into a fent habit so bad that it legitimately ruined everything in my life, my life itself, my ability to help people (if you know, you know), it took my entire self away and left me with nothing. The supply in the US is so fucked right now due to the Tranq epidemic, it's essentially the fourth wave of the 'opioid crisis' and it's effectively ruining the entire supply, with a FEW exceptions. It wouldn't be worth picking up again, no matter how bad I feel. It's funny because mid-ish November will mark my one year clean. But I dont want it. I want a fuckton of Oxy and fent, I wanna nod out and not think about this shit, and hope that this time, THIS TIME, after so many failures, I'll finally die.

But none of that is my point, my point is that felons can't even VOTE yet look at the what the fuck is happening. I'm scared as fuck, and there's nothing I as a single person can do about it, except watch the days tick down and feel the PTSD set in.

For fucks sake, please don't push me by littering the replies with pro trump shit. I will report you. This is me asking nicely.

I'll be dead before, maybe a good thing

Honestly, after the 2016 election AND 70 million people voting for Trump in 2020, we will have to see what happens. It was insane to me that the guy won in 2016. Fucking hell, that was NOT expected. Hopefully Kamala wins and finally puts and end to MAGA shit. Enough of hate being spewed everywhere.

 

[darknessishere]

Terrifying as he wants all the power doesn't care about people.

 

[33-vertebrae]

Not trying to be insensitive, but why would your sobriety be contingent upon who is president or not?

 

[-Link-]

I'd be pretty surprised if Kamala doesn't win.

Keep the faith, @opheliaoveragain!

Trump infuriates me so much. I don't live in the US but I really hope the best for everyone over there. Praying he doesn't win.

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

I'm actually looking forward to the election because the months leading up to it are the most annoying tbh. Once it's over with, we can forget about it all for a few years at least. And it's definitely not worth changing your behavior in any meaningful way based on who wins.

 

[We Are Angels]

For some reason I thought the elections were in December.

If trump wins I'm cooked.

Yeah this thread is puzzling for me

 

[SA1994EC]

Not to mention if Trump wins, but even if he loses, he will declare the winning anyway. And he will do everything to grab the power. We will be in unprecedented time that our history will put a big mark on.

 

[divinemistress36]

Trump has antichrist vibes

 

[Thisisnotaname]

Btw with this obama's rap , Harris can win

 

[ctbsd24]

I'm not sure what the rules are on SaSu re: political discourse. I personally don't even like talking about it that much. Mods please delete this post if I'm breaking any rules as that's not my intention.

In short, Harris/Walz has my vote this cycle. On a macro level, Mr. Trump gives off authoritarian vibes and he's on record as claiming to admire Hitler and wanting generals to do his bidding like Hitler's generals. He has no respect for our military men and women. He wants to use the military to go after citizens and Democrats who oppose him. He lost the 2020 election, lied about it, and tried to overturn the will of the People without evidence. He's a chaos agent who, in my estimation, is a cancer to an otherwise healthy democracy.

On a micro level, the Democratic ticket aligns more with my personal values. I am pro-choice when it comes to women's reproductive freedoms, I am in favor of legalizing marijuana, I believe climate change is real and must be addressed, and I'm nearing completion of Public Service Loan Forgiveness, to which Repulicans oppose. I also believe in LGBTQ+ rights and don't like the culture wars surrounding approved medical care for gender dysphoria. Moreover, I believe in complete separation of church and state, a line which Republicans seek to blur.

just addressing this. if you've never been addicted to something like that, coupled with intense trauma and anxiety, I can't make it make sense for you. no disrespect meant.

Are you saying If Trump wins you can't do drugs anymore?

the opposite. sorry if confusing. some real life scary shit happened the first time and I used hard drugs to deal with it. i'm already off the proverbial wagon and idc.

 

[Deleted member 8119]

Jesus. Please go to care about something real, and disconnect from this shit. It makes no one happy.

If the entire reason you put your sobriety is over a politic candidate, I'm sorry, but the blame isn't on Trump. This isn't the first suicide menace I hear about politics and legitimately makes me fucking scared of what is going on these heads.

Your post totally resonates with me, even though I don't know how related the details of what we've been through are. For me it's that I've already been through a lifetime of homophobia, medical violation, having my autonomy and rights disregarded, and I have zero will to put myself through any more of that than is guaranteed just by the awful people that are already out there... I've already seen too much of the evils of humanity and have no will to be around when they're backed up by laws and policies that give them a free-for-all to do it without consequence.

And I interpreted your post as saying that using allowed you to continue living the first time, but you know not even that would work now. Makes sense to me.

A person that replies with "go care about something real" isn't affected by Trump's policies in ways that make their life hell. They see it as just "politics" as if we're talking about things like a road tax or the yearly budget... rather than things like basic equal rights and protections from discrimination. Some people are in a position to live their daily lives with those policies never affecting them, while others will be forced to encounter them even if they try to heavily avoid them.

holy shit. all of this EXACTLY. thank you for making me feel seen.

 

[mrpeter]

Trump and Project 25 are a separate thing

[33-vertebrae]

Trump and Project 25 are a separate thing

Are they, though? That remains to be seen. Talk is cheap, as they say.

Trump pretty says whatever we wants to appease his supporters and they take it as infallible gospel.

why would trump pass project 25 what does he gain out of it

 

[33-vertebrae]

why would trump pass project 25 what does he gain out of it

What wouldn't he gain out of it?

Many of the principles and aims in that document are things that his supporters agree with.

He hasn't done anything this drastic in 2016, if he was willing too he would have done it before.

Not necessarily - you ever hear of incremental change theory/incrementalism?

"In public policy, incrementalism is the method of change by which many small policy changes are enacted over time in order to create a larger broad based policy change."

A political power basically "plays the long game" to gradually shift paradigms over time, and because it happens so slowly, people aren't alarmed about it and may even become agreeable to these changes due to long-term exposure to certain ideas that appeal to their emotions/bias.

I mean its technically possible but why not wait and see what happens

 

[33-vertebrae]

I mean yeah that's all we can really do, but people are acting as though we're not allowed to preemptively make claims about his intentions as if his supporters didn't literally write up the plans and put them out there for the public to see.
