Like we all knew it was going to happen, but legitimately I’m pretty concerned about the next step here from the US.
Most of the poors, myself included, are poorer and more mentally fatigued than ever before in recent memory. It has vibes of '08 but mixed with a literal murderer living in your fellow people’s airways the whole situation is absolutely horrifying.
Obviously senate is deadlocked while they’re butthurt about the elections, that was always going to happen. Hopefully the GA runoff is a democrat win? I guess? Will they be able to push a stimulus bill through if that happens? Will they want to?
I don’t really understand what is happening anymore, I’m pretty terrified in my day to day like I was back at the beginning of this. The city I’m in is getting more cases than ever before. Nothing has changed and has, in fact, gotten worse.
The complacency that this election has created in the liberals feels malicious and borderline sadistic.
I guess I’m just posting wondering what you all have to say about the next coming months. I’m pretty worried.
Edit: I want to add that, at this point, I can barely remember who I was before this agoraphobia that was forced onto me was in place.
I remember going to bars and hanging out with friends. I remember casually going to the store and just walking around. I remember being excited to visit friends and family whenever i had the chance.
Fuck. I remember being creative. Making music and writing. That’s gone too and replaced by alternating panic and a deep, unrelenting sadness.
Why am I just sitting in this apartment, scared and confused, with the weeks passing by in instants? What the fuck are we waiting for? How much of our lives will continue to be stolen?
Their whole position on this has been to tell us the urgency of the situation and that the republicans are the ones who are hurting you with their denial.
Yet these privileged fucks aren’t doing anything either. It comes across as “yeah of course it’s dangerous out there. So what? Go fuck yourself and get back to work. We can just replace you when you drop dead.”
It’s amazing that they have made themselves somehow more unempathetic than republicans. At least parts of the republican base have the fallback of ignorance for their inaction and denial. The democrats just revel in our suffering.
At least they acknowledge it? Sort of? Lmao
Dems are going to turn the COVID conversation into one about personal responsibility when it don’t improve under Biden. They’ll be yelling at people “well, if you don’t wear a mask then you deserve to catch it! The people getting it are STOOOOOOOOOOPID cause they don’t wear masks!”
You’re not wrong. They have proposed nothing besides blaming Republicans. They’ll find a way to blame the victims.
