    Glad you got that out of your system. Meanwhile, I’ll continue voting in the primaries, blissfully unaware of Trump’s daily activities.

    You’ve built up a whole story about what you assume I think, written a couple of emotionally charged paragraphs about me and “my demographic?” That’s a lot of effort you could be spending on actually working towards the changes you want. And as I already said, I’m still not interested.

    I’m gonna do me. Seriously, you’ll be a lot happier online if you learn to chill about other people’s lives.

      Right, you’ll remain “blissfully unaware”, how very convenient of you to not be brown, female, or LGBT. Those people and the people who care about them cannot afford to be “blissfully unaware”. Once they’re out of the way and things start impacting you personally then you’ll start to care. By then it will be so far past too late that “too late” isn’t even visible over the horizon anymore.

      These things are already impacting you now, you’re just refusing to see it. We are at a point where we cannot progress without collective action. We cannot achieve collective action without a modicum of people looking out their window and seeing what’s going on outside. That’s all I ask of anyone.

      This isn’t out of my system, it isn’t going to be out of my system until my nation and preferably the rest of the world is no longer being overrun with fascists. I obviously care about this a lot more than you do and that’s fine. I’m not asking you to get out and march in the streets. I’m asking you (and not necessarily you in particular, I’m asking everyone) to please lose this flippant “I don’t care about politics” attitude because it is getting our nation ruined and it is going to get your neighbors killed. I have family and friends and coworkers that are afraid for their lives and livelihoods right now. This isn’t something I’m just going to “get out of my system” by being condescended to.

        Homie, I’m not reading all of that. This conversation is going nowhere and I’m just going to block you now, have a good day
