It will be the last election in this version of America. The problem is that Trump may legitimately win this election. Voters, a majority, may he causing this.

What then? What if it is the last election in this version of America, and Trump wins legitimately? What does the left do if this happens? How much will you watch the country change? Will you be strong enough in your convictions to resist passification? Mental, and or physical passification, and/or political deactivation?

There will be forces at play trying to make you forget. Move on. Adopt the new normal. Go with it, just for now - because it's not that bad for you. Will you be strong enough to resist that urging?

What will the future hold under Trump? Who knows. But I do know, this is a terrifying comment to have to write.

I will stock up ammo and be prepared, but I want just sit back and watch it happen. I will fight. I have LGBTQ kids no fucking way will I sit back and let Trumps world become the norm.

To be honest if Trump wins its really going be JD Vance as president. They will remove Trump and Vance will in act Project 2025 on day 1.

I.do hope with the huge turn out that this filps and Harris wins. There was a lot of women in line to vote. I hope a lot of them are secretly voting against their mega husband wishes.

A gentle reminder that the Socialist Rifle Association is a thing! No personal experience with them, but I like that they're an underdog foil to your typical "American gun culture" stereotypes.

I should really be more active about this. I don't have the money to dump a ton of brass on the regular but I enjoy the freedom to do it while keeping my ideals!

I hope so, really discouraging to see the maga women who just accept it
