Also love how Democrats are transitioning from 90s Republicans to 2020 Republicans.

    Right after Trump was inaugurated, I wanted to see if there were any significant protests other than the Women's March, which accomplished absolutely nothing. I heard about the occupy movement, which sounded pretty good to me, and I tried to look for any movements carrying on their spirit.

    Due to a combination of being a naive and gullible 11 year old at the time and the tendency of libs to co-opt every leftist movement they can, there was a 7 month stretch of "orange man bad" memes from these guys saved onto my old iPad which haunt me to this day.

      Reading about someone being a fucking 11-year-old when Trump was elected makes me feel as if my bones are crumbling into dust and wrinkles sagging into my cheeks with every word

      strangely, I can relate. I was the same age when 9/11 happened and bought the propaganda for a little as well, then spent the next decade seeing fascism creeping in everywhere while everyone swore the real fascists were the radlibs. I guess Trump's election will be the same kind of event for a lot of people, what with the collapse of empire happening now in real time.
