“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”

Can we all just chill? Clearly y’all have different communication styles and that is okay.

I’m not your buddy, pal, and I’m not your pal, friend!
I dunno though. Maybe Biden or Clinton would do all the same bad things but more slowly and less openly. Or maybe they would just be more competent and therefore worse. If Trump wins then certain people might feel like now is the time to ramp up the fascism. Or maybe Trump loosing would actually cause a much more destructive backlash. So while I get the desperate want to have some kind of harm reduction I feel very pessimistic and I don’t want to just shrug and say fatalism is the answer but the idea that a Clinton or Biden would be better angers me.

We’re all scared and unsure of how things will pan out so if I’m wrong or a dork I don’t mind discussing it but I don’t wanna be mean to people on here since we’re pretty much all on the same side (except for the cat thing).
