One sure fire way to get me going is to tell me to calm down. I don’t even know why it’s acceptable behavior. It does not work. What happens inevitably, is the person who’s saying “calm down,” comes off “better than” while failing to grasp danger or reality. Like now.
I’m sorry I’m not who the “be nice” democrats want me to be. Republicans just voted to take away my insurance and meds and sail me off on a glacier at the ripe old age of 47. Yes, I’m very pissed about that. No, I won’t be “nice” either.
Republicans want me to start political debates off by justifying my existence. I refuse to debate that. If you want to debate me, you must acknowledge my right to exist prior to debating. That’s not on me, that’s on whoever is stupid enough to think they have a political point by eradicating sections of the population. I’m not going down that road. Fundamentally, I have as many rights to exist as anyone else does. If you don’t agree, then we don’t have much to discuss. You’re after my rights. Conflict ensues. That’s not on my head for not being “nice.” That’s on folks who want me dead.
I don’t see the problem here. But, you can be sure, folks have told me to be nice to MAGA. I no longer talk to MAGA or their friends if I can help it. That’s what happened because they voted me out of existence. I’m right to be angry with them. They’re the ones who did the damage. Who else am I going to be angry at? Surely, no one is suggesting I’m not allowed to be angry at Republican policy killing me off. If you’re saying that, fuck you too.
