Here’s how I see it: people have himmed and hawwed around while trump’s America turns into a hellscape. Horrible things happening by the second, you can’t refresh your news fast enough before another tragedy happens. We keep hearing about protesters in Portland, Chicago, Philadelphia. About people delivering groceries and running errands for people who are afraid to leave their house. I’ve never seen so many people in my town show up to protest. And I’m so fucking proud of these people.

Then something snaps and people really start showing up, standing outside in 20 below zero to let trump know they don’t accept him. And I feel hope for the first time in weeks, months, years.

And someone comes in and says YOU’RE WRONG FOR FEELING GOOD EVERYTHING ISN’T PREFECT SO THEREFORE EVERYTHING IS WRONG THIS PROGRESS MEANS NOTHING STOP FEELING GOOD YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD

So, I get where you’re coming from but also fuck you.

You have a point. But currently people are doing the right thing. Should we stop? What do you suggest we do about it right now in this moment?
