I’m sorry, but this is it for free and fair elections. Even if we won, they’ll just override democracy because they can. I really wish I could say anything else, but liberalism is dead.
Maybe. It’s hard to say how much of Trump’s rhetoric and “agenda” is to rile up his supporters and how much are promises he intends to (and is able to) carry out.
Going off of his last presidency, we’re uber-fucked. He did irreparable damage to world peace, economic equality, and institutional stability. The only reason he didn’t do more harm was neocon libs holding him back from doing the dumbest shit. Those people have been systematically purged over the last 4 years.
His government will be more incompetent, but more unhinged. The economy will be awful for all but the very rich, while even those people will lose access to much of their safety. The global economy will crash and millions will die from the looming wars he fanned the flames of in his first term.
You’re in denial. I was last time, but I’m not now. He’s a fascist who cares less about his country than Hitler. There’s no outside force coming to stop the fascist USA. We can only wait for Trump to die before taking back our country. The Republicans are beatable after he’s gone, but not before. Trump will burn the world before he’ll give up power.
I’m not in denial, I’m scared shitless and heartbroken. You’re probably right. That’s probably it for American democracy and any hope trans people have of finding safety and acceptance in American Society in our lifetimes. But it hasn’t happened yet.
We’ve already survived a Trump presidency once, we’ll do it again, life’s just going to suck more than it already has. I can’t tell you how to live your apocalypse, I intend to get back in shape, see what parts of my life can be further downsized, and focus on growing my social support network to include as many other women, people of color, and queer folks as I can befriend.
I understand. I just don’t want people to have false expectations that let them down in the end. I do think there is hope for our acceptance one day, but not for a long time.
We’re gonna suffer either way, but by accepting reality, we can fight for our own survival. Your life and existence is worth fighting for. What do you have to lose?

Eh, if we’re screwed either way, what’s the harm in a comforting lie?
