Election 2024: "This is nothing!"
a year ago
Currently in the life of a Sunflion F-22...
I've seen a lot of people disturbed that Trump won again. Here's the thing: The moment he became a felon, went through all those legal affairs, blah blah blah, and still wound up on the ballot?
I knew he was going to get elected by European ancestry America & The manosphere, in the cradle of vapid white privilege that affords you to think he can "fix the economy" when the economy will always be broken and can only be smashed further by anthropogenic climate change operating outside of the Natural procession of nature. I knew he pulled strings and planned enough in advance to make it so that he could bypass the law, and I had months to process that he would become president again (NOT without valiant opposition)
I told my spouse I didn't feel numb, and that I have the same level of disgust and repulsion that I have had since America elected him in 2016. I yelled at them this:
"I don't know if people know where I came from before saying I was allegedly strong, but I am used to having entire classrooms dog pile up on me, peers betray me, physically and verbally fuck with me, and it never stopped. Someone has always had a problem with me just existing. The only difference between now, and then--I got older, tougher, and stronger.
THIS IS NOTHING. NOTHING."
We shook hands in an unspoken pact after I said that--as a Married T4T couple that many white supremacists would see as undesirable as interracial.
My mom lived through Reagan, Nixon, my grandpa fought in WW2, my great grandpa in WW1, and the women in the ancestry have endured horrors and came out rebels. There's clearly the ability to adapt and survive.
What I am about to witness in the next decade is still nothing in comparison to what my ancestors went through. Both the ones that dared to cross the Atlantic by free will and seen as human automatically, and the ones that arrived far earlier as chattel slaves against their will.
My will to survive, shall continue. I will not be leaving the country, I will not be making efforts to "lay low". None of that.
I will continue here. It will be hard, but at NO point is something this serious, easy. I am just lucky that I am an adult by now, and not the terrified child looking on as George W. Bush became president.
....Anyway, it goes without saying that Trump voters, and Trump sympathizers are indefinitely barred from receiving art services from me, are not allowed to engage in art trades & collaborations, and will be denied free requests. You may seek these services elsewhere. Any attempt to evade will be met with blocks and bans with 0 appeal chance.

I might have said this was too extreme before, but now that I see their true colors...
My line was drawn years ago, and that was after conceding ground under threat of violence.
From 1945 the same year WW2 ended:
""The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance."
I hope that people know, I am aware for millions trump is a "WARNING. GAS STOVE CONTAINS GAS WHICH IS FLAMMABLE" and that millions more feel genuinely blindsided because the were initially cradled by individual circumstances that allowed them to be trusting. I want people to know that I despise that he has broken the trust of even staunch Republicans who feel coerced into association with him.
Trump is their star attraction. The Republican party has always been rabidly pro-big business, and has been drifting right, and welcomed the "alt-right" into their ranks. I say he represents what they've become.
I think the paradox of tolerance is apt, but doesn't go far enough. It's a question of you just trying to live your life, vs people who spend all their time opposing your existence.
