Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.
Sorry :(
As a Middle Easterner, I genuinely feel sorry for the non maga Americans, but unfortunately that's your fight to fight.
Good luck.
And fight we do. I’ve considered myself an activist for almost 30 years now. I thought fighting for marriage equality was gonna be hard. I’m really not looking forward to this.
The comments are ridiculous.
People: if ThE cOuNTry sUcks, wHy doN'T aMeRiCAns dO anYthiNG aBOut iT?
Also people: LoL siLLy aMeRiCAn, AcTiviSm doESn'T wOrk
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Keep fighting the good fight. You've got a good decade on me, but I see you and I'm right there with you. ✊
[X] Doubt
"And fight we do" LOL
Unleash the devastating power of the Kumbaya warchant on your little stroll to the streets!
The regime will crumble before your eyes.
Last 30 years of dismantling of civil liberties and it will continue
But at least gays got to marry ✊
That's 5% max.
The Blue MAGA are just as bad for the world, they only cry now bcs they're getting a taste of their own shit domestically.
Depending on where you live in the world America has been pretty bad for a pretty long time. But I agree under this new technofascist oligarchy it will become a nightmare
For much of the world, it was already a nightmare
