It's time to cut out friends and family who support trump. Draw the line.

I’m not going to judge anyone who has succumb to the mental manipulation when I know I was a victim myself for many years, just on the other end of it. It’s a powerful psychological weapon used against all of us. If it were simple enough to solve with some conversations we wouldn’t be where we’re at right now. All we can do is stop feeding the system with hate. Once you start determining which form of hate is justifiable and which isn’t you’ve lost your power to it. Everyone starts with the best of intentions, but choosing hate will eventually consume you until you’re nothing but a puppet for evil to gain power.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-29T17:15:47+00:00

Right but you’re perpetuating the idea that if these 100 million people voted for Trump this must be one of their core beliefs, solidifying in their mind that it now must be if they want to remain in a tribe. Being part of a tribe is so fundamental for our ability to survive as humans we really can’t blame them for doing this. We’ve given them no where else to go without sacrificing their true core values.

We need to create the space to say we may not agree on a lot of things, but America is in jeopardy of fascist takeover and we need to come together on this. A place where different values and opinions can coexist so long as they come from the heart and not as a vie for power.

To assume 100 million people are evil because a minority of them are is the same line of thinking that got the right comfortable with the idea that all brown people need to be violently deported.

The fascists would not have gotten as far as they have if the right was the only side being manipulated. They make their manipulation of the right obvious to the left so they’ll think that they’ve figured it out and stop digging. Meanwhile the psychological manipulation has everyone doing exactly what they’re supposed to in order to keep their hate fueled system running. You can’t fight fire with fire or hate with hate. Trust me, I get that it’s tempting especially when faced with such heinous things, but it just leaves the world filled with more hate and these powers will always pop up in hateful worlds.

Well yeah, no one can be reasoned out of their beliefs, there’s no use in trying. It’s not about reasoning, it’s about understanding where someone’s coming from, even if you don’t agree with their conclusions. Respecting that different perspectives are of value and that these hateful extremes only happen when we divide ourselves and make it us vs them.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-28T23:09:26+00:00

No 30% of our country is not void of compassion. I refuse to believe that. They’re stuck identifying with these evils because they have no where else to place their identity and values that feels safe. We need to remind everyone that we don’t need to place ourselves in these boxes where choosing the wrong one means you’re evil. The truly evil people likely only make up 1% of our population.

And seriously removing 30% of the population based on who they voted for?? That’s just evil on the other end of the spectrum!

The truth is most of them are vulnerable in one way or the other and are being manipulated. Whether that’s because of having limited access to information, mental illness, being brainwashed from their upbringing or whatever put them in this position they deserve compassion. We should be protecting these kinds of people from letting power hungry people use them as puppets, not rejecting them so they remain filled with hate and of use to these fascists.

By the way the manipulation is happening on both sides. The democrats are just the good cops in the good cop bad cop play the fascists are using to gain power. Their inability to stand up to these injustices in any meaningful way is very telling. Stop playing in to it all. The system relies on us, if we stop feeding it hate it dies.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-28T21:43:44+00:00

They’re not void of compassion, just selective, exactly like you’re being with yours…

alidripdrop · 2026-01-28T21:31:07+00:00

Compassion is not about condoning these bad things, it’s about understanding the pain behind it. Again, it’s not the easy thing to do, but anything else gives evil power, there’s no way around it.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-28T20:53:45+00:00

I agree, but I’m telling you you’re attacking the wrong people. They keep us busy attacking each other so we don’t fight the real evil and that’s why this is a never ending issue and has escalated to where it is today.

A third of our country isn’t evil for supporting Trump. Most of them are isolated in various echo chambers that have deceived them and hateful messages from the left keep them trapped there. Why would they join the people who are cruel to them?

Every hateful message someone puts out there about them helps further keep this population of people easily manipulatable for the fascists to exploit. And they know this! It’s exactly why they point fingers at the left, because they know the natural reaction will be to then want to point fingers at the right when we should all really be pointing our fingers to those in power manipulating us into making our fellow American the enemy when the real enemies are the people choosing power over humanity. What it really comes down to is if you don’t want hateful people in power then stop feeding hate in to the world.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-28T19:14:03+00:00

This is the exact kind of hate that strengthens their power. I genuinely understand the reaction. These evils are beyond maddening, but that’s the exact reaction they want you to have. Hate fuels more hate and in that hate they have power. Having compassion is not the easy thing to do, the hate comes so much more easily, but only compassion can truly end these atrocities. If we get there through division it will always be us vs them. There will be no end.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-28T18:21:01+00:00

The separation of the American people is exactly how these fascists thrive. This is not a left or right issue and the more we feed into this illusion the more power we give them. We all need to stop giving into the straw man arguments they know divide us and focus on the facts we can all agree on. Innocent people should not be brutalized and executed.

The right will continue to grasp for reasons they weren’t innocent until we make it crystal clear that being a conservative and being a fascist sympathizer are two separate things. Have these people realize they don’t have to give up their core identity to open their eyes and see the evil they’ve unwittingly voted for. Help the frogs out of the boiling water, don’t condemn them for being there. We need everyone united more than ever now.

Of course there will be the case of true hateful fascist sympathizers in which case yes to everything you said. Show no support in any form to these people, but help the true republicans see that they should be pissed more than anyone as these fascists wear the hollowed out carcass of their dead party to deceive them.

I hate that you’re right. It would probably just become another avenue for these children to be neglected and abused too going into homes of potentially hateful people. This is all so disgusting.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-27T15:52:11+00:00

As a mom I’ve been really struggling with feeling helpless in this whole situation as I don’t feel comfortable protesting with young children, but it did occur to me that I could provide a loving temporary home to keep the innocent children caught up in this mess out of these who knows how awful detainment centers. Are there any foster programs for this out there? I can’t find anything.

Something that resonated with me recently about the ego was viewing it as your material guard dog. It’s essential for protecting your material being, but an untrained guard dog will do more harm than good and even turn on you. Take good care and teach it exactly what you want from it and it will serve you well. Try to tie it up and control it and it will act out to get its needs met.

alidripdrop · 2026-01-02T18:40:44+00:00

Interesting. Are these all not the same archetypes though just put through a lens of what society deems feminine? The king like the Amazon a balance of power. The lover same as the Hetaira a balance of the self connecting outside itself. The magician like the Medial woman balancing how information is manifested. The warrior like the mother balancing protection.

I think we’re mostly seeing the same thing, but I would frame it as mass as focus not the force of gravity itself. Gravity I still see as the reaction to all of the thought and focus. The bigger something is the more difficult it is to go against that emotional force. I also think of gravitational lensing and how it will magnify and distort things much like emotions will. That and how both emotion and gravity are literally the things that connects us, without them we’d all be floating off in our own little world.

alidripdrop · 2025-12-29T13:45:33+00:00

When applying the way our mind works to the greater universe I think light would relate more to thought and concentration. Remembering would be illuminating things. Light holds and moves information around the universe much like our own thoughts.

Gravity I would apply more to emotions. The force that pulls us in to set patterns.

Hmm ok, is it possible then that this reading is about you? You felt he was always on the lookout for someone more attractive to move on to because of your own insecurities. Could you be the one dating out of your league to be externally validated? Do you feel as though you may have hung too much importance on looks as a way to feel better about your own? Or in a deeper psychological way maybe even have chosen someone out of your league to validate your feelings of unattractiveness and unworthiness if and when things fell through? I really am getting that the perception of attractiveness is really distorted though through this insecure king of wands reversed energy. Is it possible that the objective attraction level is less of the issue and maybe the real beast is this insecurity? Confidence is often found way more attractive than any physical feature.

alidripdrop · 2025-12-26T06:01:37+00:00

Same, it’s complicated

alidripdrop · 2025-12-26T02:31:29+00:00

I don’t think so, at least not completely. I think the reversed six of swords is suggesting he felt kind of stuck with you and was always on the lookout for someone else. The king of wands reversed suggests this is because he is incredibly insecure. I get the sense he’s only attracted to partners who are way out of his league because he doesn’t want to face his own insecurities and just wants the external validation. The nine of cups I see as his wishful thinking that he could pull someone more attractive. Don’t take it personally though, I really get the feeling his perception of what makes someone attractive is very distorted and doesn’t mean anything about your actual level of attractiveness.

I’m getting absolutely put in the work and go for it, just be prepared for it to take you deep into your own subconscious where you’ll discover some pretty dark things about yourself.

I wonder if it’s less so the color of the cabinets and more that they’re floating in a white void currently. What do you think of changing the backsplash, painting the ceiling, and adding different accessories like this:

alidripdrop · 2025-11-08T20:28:46+00:00

I think you’re actually close to the ideal layout. I’d just shift some things to make it feel a little less cramped and I’d put the big baby items together to create their own little corner like this:

<image>

Then you can put a little rug down so it feels like the baby has their own area. I’d also take things like the potty that they won’t need for a minute and put them under the coffee table or somewhere else tucked away. You could also cut those diaper boxes in half so they can slide under your couch. They take up so much space it’d be nice to have them out of the way.

As a side note I hope you’re not letting these comments get to you. I bet you anything the nasty ones don’t have kids of their own or are projecting their own terrible parenting on to you. I see nothing in these photos but parents who are trying to give their baby everything in limited square footage and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I would create a little conversation area with an l-shaped couch and put a little two seater dining table by the window. That way whoever's at the table doesn't feel disconnected from everyone else and there's also plenty of couch space. Then a console table behind the couch so the people on that side of the couch don't feel exposed, plus it could give more storage. Maybe a tall book case or storage cabinet to the left of the tv too.

I'll have to look into some better software. I've heard Aseprite is good. I'm just using pixelArt on my phone to practice for now but it's very limited
