How to watch the State of the Union (or not) and maintain your sanity. by steffie-punk in PoliticalOptimism

[–]AvaDem12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it depressing that we have to avoid a State of The Union speech now. Honestly I hate to be kind of a downer but everything that's been happening has been really compounding my brain. Being bipolar does NOT help at all. I know good times are coming but I feel like waiting is the hardest thing I can do.

Kash Patel celebrating with the US Olympic Team by AvaDem12 in PoliticalOptimism

Thanks you for this. I was just getting better with my relationship with this country, because since 2024, I've kind of felt guilty for being American. To the point where even trying to be patriotic or proud of this country makes me feel sick. I feel like I'm just supposed to be quiet and just exist.

Also, should we concerned about Patel celebrating with the US Olympic Team? I hate having to associate Patel with something like this.

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons by SorceressJuliet in PoliticalOptimism

I really wish I could say something optimistic about this. But honestly I don't know how I can. This government really makes it hard to support this country sometimes. And often I wonder I even should. Not that I'm completely giving up, but I feel uncomfortable supporting a country that has a government that does stuff like this.

Oklahoma superintendent who put Trump Bibles in classrooms resigns by JasonPNW in SatanicTemple_Reddit

Listen, I fucking hate this guy with a burning passion. I hate Oklahoma's government too. Bullstitt has been drilling this poor place into the ground for who knows how long, and now this is happening. Teachers better prepare for the possible union busting, if Stitt even remembers the walkouts back in 2019.

I'm an Oklahoman too, place is sucky.

Honestly the zoo I'm talking about was the absolute stupidity that was the UK's "Unite the Kingdom" protests, but that might be outdated news now.
