Maybe we should all act like the Whos in Whoville

All of the bastards who destroyed our country like to make people feel bad, get off on destruction and sadism.

Maybe if we all walk around acting happy and carefree, they won't get the thrill they're expecting.

a little way out from D.C. She's out today and says it feels very different.

I live in a red county in Ohio. I'm surprised the rwnj weren't driving around in pickups shooting guns in the air.

I’ve been seeing many posts on TikTok from African American creators (mostly young people) who are taking a vacation from trying to help people who only want to hurt them. They will be enjoying their own lives for the next 4 years instead of working hard to help others.

I’m all in. Smile on my face. Oh, you wanted to hurt ME?
I voted for unions all my life/don’t belong to a union
Voted for big taxes to pay for schools/ don’t have any kids
Voted for child tax credits/no kids
Voted for reproductive rights/I’m 65
Voted to lower taxes on poor people and higher for upper middle class/ I’m upper middle class
Voted for racial equality/ I’m white
Voted to let Cubans in/ they all vote against me

Voted for black people**** this vote has never steered me wrong. I got my civil rights as a woman from the black Civil Rights movement. I know what I owe African Americans. I owe them every blessing in my life.

There is a time to prepare for those actions. It is 2 years until the next election. Until then we can be spectators, waiting, watching.
Those who have created their own miseries will always create their own miseries. We are who we are and we need to realize that we cannot afford to waste resources on outreach. When they have suffered enough to come to us our question needs to be, What can You bring to the table?
