my mom won't shut the fuck up about Donald J. Trump, I swear to fucking god I'm going to go insane - yes, orange bad man, confirmed - why is this her whole personality? All she does is listen to podcasts about how bad Trump is, all she will talk with me is how bad Trump is ... it's like endless spiraling, and the hypocrisy kills me when half the shit she is so scared about are things past presidents have done, presidents she has supported.

anyway, the libs killed Rosa Luxemburg in the fucking streets - they don't need guns because they aren't a populist movement, they back the State, which has the boot on our necks and the guns to our head

    While you're right about libs getting Rosa Luxembourg killed and backing the State, you're just being a fucking dick over a joke taking the piss out of a fascist wannabe dictator. You're doing nothing to help get people to recognize the flaws of the Imperialist system.

    Get the fuck out of your own head and touch grass dude. And seek therapy about your relationship with your parents apparently.

    fair enough, I'm definitely emoting; and worse, being a dick at a time it's not appropriate to be in-fighting

    have had so much therapy, not sure any of it has helped (and some of it has really caused harm) - but I'll be reaching out to get help as soon as I can, trying is better than not

    It must be nice to live in America and ignore politics when it becomes annoying. Others have to live with losing their rights, loved ones, and sense of safety. Must be nice to ignore that and recede into your bubble of privilege. It is a privilege to be unaffected by the Trump administration's actions and rhetoric. Women and people of color are suffering greatly. That's why mom is so concerned. Empathy is important. Your indifference can be harmful. I'm on team Mom.

    I'm a trans woman who had to flee her home and lost her career because of anti-trans policies enacted in large part due to Trump's administration.

    My mom does fuck-all to help the situation other than complain endlessly about it, while I am actually the one who was denied healthcare, harassed, and dehumanized by the state. I'm tired of symbolic and meaningless liberal politics precisely because they don't feel grounded in the actual stakes at play. Cutesy klansmen Trump signatures feels too much like the vapid politics of my mother, and it drives me insane.

    To whatever extent I can recede into a bubble, it is because otherwise I am unable to function from being so overwhelmed, it is something I do to cope and because I need to function keep myself alive at this point.

    You're not wrong about the importance of being engaged and political, and to whatever extent I feel sickened by middle class liberal culture, I still recognize that I probably shouldn't express my hard feelings because those liberal allies are basically the only ones we have in American electoral politics, they're the ones preventing anti-trans laws from being passed, etc.

    Still, I complain - I probably just shouldn't. Sorry :-(
