I am writing with so much rage in my chest and none of this will be as damning as I want it to be. Nothing I can post on this tiny corner of internet space will be what I want it to be, I’m not the right voice, I don’t have the right words. I just want it to be known, I want there to be a record of this moment in time along with all the others. I am so angry, I am so sad, I am so scared. But mostly I am so goddamned enraged, at so many things but specifically the hypocrisy of the pro-2A crowd. The people who have for so many years gone on and on about the right to bear arms, the right to be able to fight back against a hypothetical tyrannical government, and here it is happening right before our very eyes and they do not care. I don’t know how a person can bend themselves into a position that agrees with the administration’s lies about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I don’t know how a person supports any of it at this point, the blatant dismantling of democracy by — and this is the WORST part! — the ugliest, most idiotic and uninformed nasty people on earth. (Like…it would be something else if they were wildly charismatic diabolical geniuses but no. Just actual literal garbage humans.) I’m so fucking mad at everyone who downplayed what this administration would be capable of. I’m so disgusted by the absolute chickenshit weakness of every man and woman who supports this insanity, the ones who talk about both sides, the ones who declare they aren’t political, all these clowns with no spine or heart.
I just wanted to say that here today. It’s not enough, nothing is enough until we are no longer being ruled by a cruel and stupid dictator thanks to his foolish and bamboozled followers, but that’s what I want to say.

I completely agree.
Yes to alllllll of this….*sigh*
Thank you for writing.
Yes, to all of this. There are no words for the rage and hopelessness I feel right now.
YES ALL OF THAT EXACTLY.
I don’t live in Mpls now, but did for my earlier adulthood. It is such a special place, so dear to my heart, and I am so heavy. Not just for that beloved city, but for us all, because that is the start and we as a country are in grave, grave trouble.
i lived outside the twin cities for six years, plan to retire
there and it’s the place i’ve felt the safest. i hate this so much for them but what a freaking example they are setting.
I agree. We in Australia are watching and we are absolutely disgusted and feel for the people that did not vote for this.
Frankly I blame every person who voted for this idiot, and those who chose to be bystanders and not vote because they’ve also contributed to this situation by not doing the right thing.
Voting should be mandatory and like here if you don’t vote you’re fined. Maybe then idiots wouldn’t be ruining the world. Maybe. But I doubt it.
cosign so hard.
Amen. And also, all the rage for all the other people hurt/killed and deliberate cruelties inflicted – that list would be miles long if I tried to write it out.
Thank you. Every single word. It helps so much to not feel so enraged alone.
Yes to everything you said.
FUCK them
fuck all of those motherfuckers
You completely voiced my feelings, I am with you all the way.
“Just actual literal garbage humans”.
With you 100%!
I can remember the “don’t tread on me, fight tyranny” chuds, circa 2016, who proudly wore assault rifles into coffee shops and Target and the mall. Parading around with bazookas strapped to themselves. Pretty much a walking “Make My Day!” sandwich board. Where are they now? I can tell you where they are. The same place they’ve always been. On X and Facebook cheering on the ICE goons and complaining about women being uppity. Some of them probably stormed the Capitol on Jan 6, and if not, cheered that violence. Mostly, I expect, they’re quiet, and if there’s any God at all, some of them are ashamed and rethinking themselves. I’m not holding my breath. All I know is that the majority – the usually silent majority – has had it up to here.
I am so with you. the anger is all consuming. It helped to go to a protest but my god, when will it be enough? and when will people stop believing the LIES
agree agree agree agree.
Keep speaking up. You do have an audience here.
This.
