I’m sure that’s of great comfort to the people in concentration camps. Legit so gross to acknowledge concentration camps currently existing and being run by your own government, and somehow still making it about you.

What can the average US citizen do about concentration camps that are outside the US but controlled by the US?

It’s fucking depressing though. I voted for Harris, went to college, worked in IT and was a good little worker, got a decent credit score, barely got a starter home…

By all accounts I did everything right. But I’m still fucked. Going to be laid off this year and this IT industry is fucked. We all are. We can’t do anything because the wealthy always win. I’m depressed most days and only find joy in reading sometimes but other hobbies don’t feel the same.

Every time I’ve voted, my candidate of choice loses. I’m powerless. I’m not well.

By not voting you did vote.

First past the post system and all of that.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who "doesn't pay attention to politics". I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.

And a bunch of people didn’t vote for hitler. Nazi party got 43% of the votes on 1933.

Remember when Trump wiped women and people of color from DoD and other government documents in his DEI sweep? Fucking sucks man.
