They want this. Look at this post from their perspective and it makes you look like joke to them.

I'm not saying this as an insult...

Know thy enemy.

Didn’t vote for it isn’t good enough. 90M people didn’t vote. We needed 2M more to vote against it. Remember this when the midterms come around next fall.

We also need a political party that also understands this. The entrenched democratic advisers lost 2 times to Trump and I havent seen any mass firing. If anything, the establishment dems are attacking anyone trying to change.

Had a discussion with my wife's parents the other day. They thought it was hilarious. They laughed, alternating between mockery of the poor and "nobody helped me so everybody should suffer!"

She said maybe it's time to go no-contact.

Going no contact is a lot easier than it sounds: the biggest issue is "them" not respecting your new boundaries.
My biggest piece of advice is to never respond to them. The 'keeping silent and ghosting' part can be a challenge.
Ultimately, though, you owe them nothing but your happiness.

Who did you vote for then?

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?

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 3 points 14 hours ago

Never forget. /S

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.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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

Thank you, now Rush is going to be stuck in my head.

(No seriously, thank you. Prior to this, my head was stuck with nursery rhymes.)

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