LIbs are gonna lib, but on the ground I see an opportunity for something actually good to come out of this. Expecting burgerreichers to give a shit about people outside their (our) borders is a foreign concept for a lot of people but I don’t see the kind of bloodlust I saw a few years ago, even. Fascists might not have the sauce to do anything about losing the elections; at least where I am people don’t have the overt bloodlust I’ve come to expect post-9/11. Or post-1979, regarding Iran.

I fully expect nothing to fundamentally change, but there is room for something to come of this that I’m not used to seeing. I talk to people who would have told me to shut up and let them go back to brunch 2 years ago who are baying for blood now. It’s as incoherent as I’d expect from my people (I’m 33.333% brunch lib on my father’s side) but there is a tangible vibe shift where I am. When the euphoria of the electoral victory fades and you’re left with nothing having meaningfully changed, what do you do then? Who can afford brunch in this economy? That’s what matters, and it pains me that that’s what matters, but who give a shit in the end how you get people to care about the world beyond their immediate circle? What if better things are possible?

WE’RE GONNA VOTE VOTE VOTE ITS OUR MOMENT

Finally, now we can return to a reasonable number of bombs to give Israel for the explicit purpose of genociding Palestinians

I’m glad my media browsing habits mean that I was basically surprised by the midterms happening, and its been a blip when it did.

That fuckin comic of the crowd holding vote signs offering a spark to the crying Statue of Liberty that popped tf off yesterday made me actually ill. We did it reddit. We did it.

I’m on my 7th mimosa. I already have a hangover. Fuuuuuuuck

🥰

How can we still go get back to brunch when there’s a goddamn cheetah in the White House?
