woman of SaSu, how we feeling about the american election

[apearl]

(Sorry if I'm fear mongering I'm just anxious) My anxiety was bad before the news broke out but now I'm kind of spiraling. Every branch of the government is republican right now and project 2025 has multiple sections trying to remove more rights from women like reproductive rights, workplace harassment rights, and sex discrimination. Wish I had sn on me because I really don't want to deal with this.

AFAB nonbinary person here, I'm so anxious I haven't slept at all. Thankfully I got my tubes removed so no pregnancy scare there (also I'm asexual). I'm worried about all the people who'll be affected by this shit. I mean, a lot of women use birth control for other reasons besides preventing pregnancy. What if they ban that too? Transgender people will have a harder time getting gender affirming care, possibly leading to more suicides. God, I'm scared Jim Crow laws will come back. Maybe I'm catastrophizing, but can you blame me?

As a non US citizen I expected people would make the sensible choice, developed country and all that...although I knew deep down that won't happen. I hope all of you who will be effected by this find ways to pull through, however long it may be you plan to hang around.

i feel like i want to put a bullet through my head. i mean i have but now its stronger. i dont want to live on this planet any fucking more.

the palestinians are going to be genocided, ukraine given to russia, and all my rights just eroded, along with millions of other people. all for the name of crapitalism.

this country is shit, imposes itself unto others, proliferates death, and is full of shit. religion is a cancer. yadda yadda. fuck them all.

Feel like I was hit with a paintball gun. It's a big blow. Thought we were better than this...

I'm grateful that I'm a virgin who lives in California and also happens to be queer so I don't really have to worry about abortion.

If they're going to do this to us, at least make MAID more accessible so we don't have to put up with this shit, though it seems that's unlikely since they just want us to suffer so we can feed their luxurious wealthy white lives.

My desire to CTB is much higher now. I'm also a (visible) minority so I am very scared for the future. I live in a blue state (I'm honestly surprised that we were blue) but my town is extremely red and racist, there's a lot of magidiots. I hope all of the people who are worse off then me are able to escape this country in any way.

 

[Gorbolflungus]

he is a convicted felon, said people were eating dogs and outright said "i have concepts of a plan" and somehow people still thought "yeah thats our guy!", absolutely baffling.

 

[PumpkinLatte1]

Terrible. Both that Trump was elected and that a lot of men seem to be emboldened to say more misogynistic things, make more threats against women, etc.

Lost faith in humanity

Never having sex with my boyfriend I guess was thinking if he doesnt like that then he can go ahead and get a vasectomy. Heard those are on the rise

 

[bestbeforetomorrow]

Weirdly enough i have mixed feelings because it looks like Trump (clarity: i fucking hate this guy) is trying to establish the same political regime as we have in my country and, you know that feeling when the same bad thing that happened with you happens with someone else and you can suffer together? yeah, thats it, i feel exactly this way and im kinda interested in what will happen next. and yeah, i feel compassion for the US folks, but the desire to see the main character country to finally understand that we cant just vote differently and change the condition our country (or revolt) is much stronger.

the question is - why dont every cis-straight man (who doesnt want to have kids, but want to have sex) get one‽‽ Its so easy to get one in the us (you need to have two children or to be over 35 to get one in my country) and its reversible, so WHY THE HELL NOT‽‽

Despair.

I fear that the next four years are going to be very bad.
