When people say, “we have made it through worse before....
9 months ago
For anyone who thinks we'll 'just' get through this nightmarish 4 years as if it's no worse than the 1st Term...I mean besides the countless people who needlessly died, for some, they could care less about...
"When People say, 'we have made it through worse before.' by Clint Smith
"all I hear is the wind slapping against the gravestones
of those who did not make it, those who did not
survive to see the confetti fall from the sky, those who
did not live to watch the parade roll down the street.
I have grown accustomed to a lifetime of aphorisms
meant to assuage my fears, pithy sayings meant to
convey that everything ends up fine in the end. There is no
solace in rearranging language to make a different word
tell the same lie. Sometimes the moral arc of the universe
does not bend in a direction that will comfort us.
Sometimes it bends in ways we don’t expect & there are
people who fall off in the process. Please, dear reader,
do not say I am hopeless, I believe there is a better future
to fight for, I simply accept the possibility that I may not
live to see it. I have grown weary of telling myself lies
that I might one day begin to believe. We are not all left
standing after the war has ended. Some of us have
become ghosts by the time the dust has settled."

For anyone who voted for Trump, whom may regret that thing and Regime's actions now, if you actually regret your actions, then don't vote for the Nazi party or even a 3rd party or Abstain from voting.
If you however do any of the above, far as I'm concerned, you don't mean what you say.
You only got upset when you realized the leopard was going to eat your fucking face.
