I don’t want to generalize too much but the place I see the most hope right now is from those that have been fighting the hardest for the longest time. Extended doomerism can be a luxury not afforded to those who have the most to lose.

I say this having gone through periods of depression, suicidality & self-harm. Hopelessness is something I can’t avoid but I can choose to believe that it will pass, especially if I work with other who struggle with the same things. Hopelessness and community can’t exist in the same heart for long.

Okay but what is their plan? We can work and organize and vote all we want but the right has basically circumvented our entire governmental/democratic/political system.

Correct. >.> Also. People who are talking about fleeing are very privileged, and we see how they don't actually give a fuck about the most vulnerable that they're willing to give up, even before the fucking election.

I won't claim to be among the "hardest for the longest time" people, but I've been in this for a little while, in my own hermetic way, and I live by "pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will". There's a LOT of reason to be hopeless, but no time or energy to spare on such things.
