      Gen X was still knee deep in lead emissions.

      Also, both groups have had a stranglehold on mainstream media, normalizing their sociopathy for the next generations.

      For the record, less than a third of eligible voters voted for Trump.

          Honestly, as much as I’m grieved and angered by what the world is right now, I find it really hard to fault the average person for choosing ignorance in the face of the monstrous realities of everyday modernity. I know that things could be so much better, and I want them to see it too, and fight for it. (Thus why I made my account on slrpnk.net.)

          But, it feels unfair for me to expect something of them that they may be unequipped to handle mentally and/or emotionally. Perhaps I’m just too nice—and perhaps that’s the burden of having a big heart. Or perhaps I’m just too weak, and tough love would be more caring. I’m still figuring it out myself. 💔

      Half of Americans refused to vote for either genocidal maniac.

      I’m more worried about the other half, both Red & Blue MAGA, who wouldn’t even draw the line at genocide.
