Mar 2024

within my family and friends circle. None have admitted to thinking about voting for trump but they're tossing around the idea of staying home this fall. The common thread is SOCIAL FUCKING MEDIA.

The thing is, we have legitimate grievances that are never addressed but I've been reminding people that the issues that are being tossed about on social media are not new or unique under President Biden. The first step to changing things is to be consistent and to understand that one president alone cannot fix it. There's no need to vote for or enable a fascist who rolls with a bunch of white supremacists. Staying home will only make things worse.

Anyway, I'm going to pressure the hell out of everyone prior to the elections. In some cases, ultimatums will be issued. Anyone who assists in subjecting me to another 4 years of trump might get cut off, permanently.
