16. We will be ok

Sat Oct 12, 2024, 06:45 PM

Oct 12

We will survive. Our lives will go on, but

Latinos and immigrants will suffer. Legal immigrants will be under the gun too. So if you are reading this now, and plan to not vote or vote trump, think twice.

Women…. I am so sorry about the fucked up treatment you are receiving. You are our partners, our lives, our best friends. We need you, so us devoted men will always fight for you. We love you and will make sure your mistreatment will end and NEVER happen again.

LGBTQ community will suffer, their healthcare will be cut off, no playing sports, or no privacy. They will be treated as CIS.

Seniors will NOT lose SS or Medicare, because the right have it also, but the middle class workers and seniors taxes will go up, causing hardships to elderly and poor community. Most of the MAGA population will suffer too, but since voting for trump, they are too fucking stupid to care or understand.

The too rich to give a crap will get a huge tax cut, causing the debit to soar and another depression/recession will kick in.

My opinion only… trump will continue to be a babbling idiot and his health will continue to go down hill. He may face an article 25, or may not finish the 4 year term.

The midterm elections will add more Dems into the mix and if smart, will “ bring a gun to a knife fight”, but will need to redesign and reform the party. We need to be the bad guys now.

Now, time to stop this from happening and let’s get our asses off the sofas and vote. Bring your grandma, grandpa, dads, moms to the polls. CONVINCE THE YOUNGER GENERATION that this is THEIR future and country too.

GOTV…. Let’s go Kamala…
