Shit feels terrible. I live in the Imperial Core, and of course, I always hear about the news all the time after Election Day. As a high-schooler, I feel particularly helpless and stuck.

Yeah, I know, I know - the Dems are just as bad as Trump but man, is it fucking disheartening to the point where it goes full cycle and ends up being straight up comical (I mean Amerikkkan bs has always been comical but this time its reaching some crazy fucking levels of face-off comical clownery shit), to see Trump appoint the absolute WORST and most irredeemable pieces of shit to office. Like fucking hell, of course Chris Wright, a Big Oil mogul is the leader of the Department of Energy, and RFK - Mr. Brain Worms himself as the Health Department leader, not to mention the whole Elon Musk DOGE and the abolishing the Department of Education bullshit Trump is also doing.

I mean, the billionaires and the corporate fascist oligarchs were always destined to win in the Empire no matter what but fuck damn - the speed and magnitude of this shitstorm is taking even me by surprise (although admittedly, I very well shouldn’t be surprised). Everything is fucked in the first place - the climate, the people, everything that actually matters is fucked. I knew this from the start but shit, does it still hurt.

I apologize if this sound a bit too US-defaultist but I just want to kinda vent from my own perspective and ask for advice. Thanks comrades.
