I don’t understand what it’s going to take for someone to do something. Protests are not going to work when they’re holding all our money, services, rights, data, etc hostage, and threatening all our public servants. We already had a hard time protesting before this, because health care is tied to employment. It’s not a coincidence that they’re going after Medicare and Medicaid. They want an entire nation of indentured servants. Unable to own anything, including our own freedom. When we can’t work anymore we can just go die in the wilderness like animals I guess. Hmm where have we heard that before?

Everyone is terrified and exhausted. It seems pretty evident that the election was outright stolen, and I have a hard time believing nobody in power suspected something that many of us immediately called, not with the mountains of evidence that’s been stacking up for months, years even. So why didn’t they do anything? Why did they wait until Trump was sworn in to even talk about it?

I see Canadians online talking about Americans like we chose this. But we didn’t, it was forced upon us, and we’re begging for help! Who can we turn to if not our allies? What is going on???

People keep saying this, but WHO?

Who are you talking about?

Who is this “somebody” you keep talking about showing up to save us?

Look, nobody is coming to save us, and asking somebody else to risk harm on yourself behalf is selfish.

If we object, it isn’t on somebody else to show up and save us, it’s on us.

If you aren’t willing to make the moves yourself, who the fuck are you to ask somebody else to.

Nobody is coming to save us, folks. It’s either us, me and you, or it’s nobody.

The cavalry’s not coming. It’s just us.
