Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.
Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.
She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.
Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”
Cool…
But if you’re done, why are you here trying to convince others to give up?
If it’s too much for you, that happens.
Go check out from politics, dont hang out and tell people it’s pointless to try. Literally no one is happy in that scenario except trump.
I’m not, I’m just angry and bitter and venting. Its not rational its seeking catharsis from lashing out.
Coulda fooled me, most people I know lashing out don’t recognize they’re lashing out and dont explicitly say they’re not being rational.
Real catch-22 moment here, if you know your being irrational, you’re not actually irrational.
Its probably something to do with being autistic but IDK.
I’m not being rational anymore since the election, I’m just giving in a lot to bad impulses because I don’t have much fight in me anymore because before I kind thought things were worth fighting for. Now I look around at the average stranger and think “7/10 times that person either voted for Trump or failed to vote meaning I probably hate them.” And then like, half of the remainder who voted Harris were probably libs that were anti-Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020 so I don’t think I’d be happy to meet them either. Its not good for my mental health and there is no solution but suffering a now pointless fucking existence.
I know other thoughts floating in my head are new as well and I’m not super thrilled about them.
Sure shit sucks right now, doesn’t mean it’s not worth fighting to fix. If you’re burnt out from being politically engaged for a decade, disconnect from it for a while, and actually disconnect from it until you get to a better head state, not just scream into the algorithm about how you think its all pointless. As cliche as it is, touch some grass, go outside, breathe some fresh air, find somewhere quiet and disconnect for a bit. Pick up a hobby that doesn’t result in being terminally online, disc golf is pretty affordable and surpringly more common than you think.
Not one person in this world is rational or sane. It would take a sane world to create a sane person and we just can’t help but pass on our issues even at our best attempts.
When people are acting foolish and know it at least they know. That means they can recognize it and change if they currently aren’t. It’s when they don’t recognize it at all that we must be wary of their intentions.
