Well she is a teenager .

This section of Actualized really needs more mods. So many stupid takes.

Every day has a night

I guess he means it's yellow because the guy suggests laughing/humor as a response to MAGA instead of hair pulling and screeching into the void. Not sure if i agree it's precisely yellow, but humor could seem like a better response than hair pulling and screeching. Could be high green, low yellow stuff.

Just accept that massive change is coming and live your life, everything has a swing and a counterswing.

Well I can recognize Trump's support in the broader populace and why it exists, but to be in a consciousness/actualization forum and see sympathetic posts to Trump is just honestly baffling. It feels hard to find community and alot of the posts feel alienating Also my reptile brain makes me think I'ma be in a concentration camp in 10 years. That said, I can agree to look inward and find some satisfactory path out of this.

Yeah he is and it's a good idea to organize politically now if you're in a minority group, like me.

Get involved in local politics, move to the Northeast or the west coast and pay attention to what happens in January because you can't really do much until then. Leave a red state if you live in one. Then coordinate with like-minded people in real life to communicate on some sort of encrypted platform as the need arises.

If this post is any indication at all it will only get worse for them, the societal changes will be interesting to experience. Even more polarization in American life. https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1gli4en/anyone_else_joining_the_4b_movement/

I am sort of the same way, I grew up in a Republican family in a rural area in Colorado. A lot of these rural people care about values like the cohesion of the family, independence from the government, self-reliance. They go to church and pay taxes and of course at first didn't seem nefarious or dangerous or whatever. A lot of people parrot political points but this is no different than in any other field. People parrot things in every field or area of life to form some sort of mental glue that helps people's minds get organized around all the chaos of life (not just political chaos, but actual chaos). It grants a sense of stability in a volatile and uncertain world Some of the differences are just largely genetic, like if you watch Elon's reaction to Trump's assassination -- someone higher on the neuroticism scale on the Big 5 personality traits might perceive Elon's reaction of subtle or masked joy that violence took place (and that Trump survived). Others will see it only as Elon being happy that Trump lived of Elon and not find anything weird about his reaction. Not sure if that's the best example. I think a big indicator of a person is to look at their personal detail THOROUGHLY. Too many people only get brief glimpses and vote based that. No, that doesn't make sense, you need to evaluate the whole person and look very carefuly. If a person has a trail of lawsuits, complaints, legal actions against him dating to the 1970's, even before he was in the political scene, a person, based partially on genetics can reasonably conclude that something is "wrong" with this person. That's the case of Trump, and it's only a short of bread crumb trails that most people in his orbit share similar values as him since that's true of most professional relationships, you might not be best friends with your coworkers but you both operate under the same assumptions of how to act when you're in your job. Similar to Trump being examined, if we go to Elon Musk, he bought twitter and allowed it to be a nest for far right people and changed the algorithm to promote his own tweets, I just can't see that as being wise..The left has mostly...journalists. Journalists look like they're spinning things to you for a variety of reasons, they may be covering things in a way that supports their own mental health; they may be paid to say such things ( I think that mainstream media is pretty flawed in this country), they may simply be trying to comprehensive to not bore listeners with the same topics over and over, it could be anything because *journalists are people too*. Too many people see journalists as like ...data bytes or machines sent out by the evil corporate machines of news anchors. No, they're just doing their job, the job they went to school for several years for... I don't really know what the MSM or Democrats are censoring other than the amount of people we helped kill in Israel. I don't know what you're referring to there.

We are pretty screwed. I don't want to do anything at the moment

Nah, for every 1 positive thing that companies do for the environment in a trump administration, they'll do 2-3+ things to screw it over w/ no regulations Some of those positive things will be emphasized in media conversations and all the corrupt negative stuff will be de emphasized

<-- Parents are voting for Trump because of what they hear about Kamala v. Trump's stances on abortion

It's because we only have two political parties, that differ comparatively little on economic issues - therefore whatever social and economic differences between the two parties exist must be amplified and constantly mentioned. Also the population here is much larger than in any single European country. When you have large amounts of people it is a little harder to maintain a democracy.

yeah that was my point. 60% of his psyche thinks he's on an altruistic mission, 40% of his psyche knows he's just another billionaire.
