Some were worried waving American flags would be "triggering to POCs", but then they agreed that they're gonna try and "take it back from Trump!"

Oh yeah she also introduced me to some 20-something in her group that seems to think she's in a YA novel. She's talking about forming an "underground" that has a goofy name like the "Sparrows" or something that uses its own special language she made up (its a simple word-key code any puzzle nerd could break). She has an alt-constitution written in a mole skin book that she showed me and I had to hold back my laughter at how badly it was written.

Sorry if this comes off as mean spirited but she just moved back in with me and this is her whole personality now. Normally id be like "well at least she's not a CHUD" but she's been really arrogant and self important about this like she fucking Vladimir Lenin over here when she's an upper middle class white lady who used to be a landlord.

it's nice we get to do 2020 again, i was getting nostalgic. now, just wait for the cops to get progressively more aggressive with protestors, amping up the tension, until people start protecting themselves from the state's abuses until we have massive standoffs in every city and then cool-zone and then they can talk about how the movement lost direction and they can't endorse violence and all we can do is wait and vote to take back the house next year

There maybe some hope for the YA girl but I'm really not gonna put the effort in with my mom. She's a narcissist and I think this whole sudden interest in activist is more just about her sense of self importance than actual fears that Americas decline is going to affect her.
