I wouldn't lift a finger to help. There was a time I wouldn't have dared give voice to that, but I no longer care. It's never been my nature to be so uncaring, until now, until trump and those who support & defend him. I felt terrible about feeling this way until a psychologist said it was a natural reaction to what we all were seeing & hearing and it would have been more abnormal to not give any of that another thought.
I would still help people.
Even if I knew they would turn me in. Do I think I am capable of turning away in the moment? Sure. I'm not going to judge myself.
I can't function where I live without interacting with people of different political beliefs.
I try not to think of these hypothetical situations tho-becuase that isn't productive in my brain.
I can barely handle the things I am reading every day. So I was taking it out on you, Duchess.
I can't handle that Melania says don't make AI pics of people-yet the president can make an AI pope-or claim he doesn't know who made it.
I can't handle that anyone thinks it is okay to make immigration into a reality show
I can't handle that people are suffering in a prison, I can't handle that people are suffering in a prison who didn't do a crime and who didn't get due process and the fucking president of the United States ACTs like he doesn't know what DUE PROCESS is. Yes, I believe it is an act when he acts stupid. Both are wrong, being stupid and acting stupid as the president is fucking wrong.
He is a dangerous man and the people that work for him and support him are too.
Gutting of all the federal agencies, gutting the weather-storm warnings-
This isn't a joke.
Everyone hired is just a fucking actor.
