      Trump is on record bragging about how he could go backstage anytime and possibly catch them naked. At his teen beauty pageants.

      . I never connected those dots before.

      HOW?!? I feel like I’ve lost my goddamn mind. It should be like the first fucking thing you realize when you learn about both things. They’re so obviously connected.

          You shouldn’t have to, but you do have to. The world isn’t going to fix itself - these things are happening because our country and its people have been slowly influenced over the course of decades specifically not to put up a fuss about it. We need to fight against that conditioning that tells us we deserve to be able to step away and ignore it. We do deserve that, but to allow ourselves that out is to continue allowing these atrocities to happen. We’ve been pushed into such stressful, overstimulating lives that putting up a fight seems impossible, but we need to fight it even if it means putting our lives on the line.

            I totally agree. Some people may be slightly slower. We have to educate those people, unfortunately.

            our country

            I’m not sure where you’re from, but this covers several countries.

            Orherwise, I totally agree. People have been worn down through a reduction of workers rights, pay, numerous other rights….its wrong.

            Problem is in the western world you’ve had a press, and now social media, pushing a right wing, and rights narrative. To people like us it’s infuriating.
