Is anyone else having a really hard time coping with the upcoming midterms in the United States? I live in a state where political mailers are sent out every day telling me what will happen to my body based on who is or isn't elected. Any time I turn on my TV or open my internet browser I'm similarly inundated with this shit. I live in a conservative small town, too, so anytime I go outside to try to touch grass and get away from it all I see my neighbors yard signs in favor of woman-hating politicians. It's becoming very hard to detach from what is happening to women in this country, very hard to find peace, and very hard to remain the peaceful, non-violent person I know myself to be. Can anyone relate? I am struggling and could really use some support and solidarity right now. Thanks, friends.

Yes. I retreat and isolate. I know that's not the best reaction but I don't want to argue with people I know aren't changing their minds. I live in a conservative state as well. I hate it here and when I go to more progressive states I feel so much more relaxed. I can be myself. I suggest taking a vacation somewhere more in line with your beliefs if you're stuck where you are right now. I'm saving up to move.
USA is a ****hole, I want to move elsewhere...at the same time I don't wanna abandon the sisters who can't
I can relate! I can't stand what this country has become, how white supremacists and Christian nationalists are out in the open and actively trying to take over the country.
White supremacy has always been around, but for a number of years it went underground, and with the election of Barack Obama, I thought that we had finally start to overcome the racism. I was so wrong.
But on the bright side, I've become a left wing troll. I have accounts on all the right wing SM platforms, and I troll the hell out of trumptards and watch them rage at things I post 🤣🤣
