Thank you. It gets so tiring seeing these people constantly shouting "WhY ARen't YOu FIGhtinG bAck?" Whenever someone expresses fear about what's been happening. Oh I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a little preoccupied wondering how my family and I are going to fucking survive the next four years in the first place.

My wife's disabled, we've got multiple autistic kids, my health isn't the greatest, I'm trans but luckily I can still play cis. We can only afford to live because my wife gets Social Security Disability, and we have Medicaid and SNAP. All things they're certainly going to be targeting. Yeah we'll likely be shielded from some of the worst of this living in a blue state but I'm not sure how much even that's going to protect us anymore.
