“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other.haymarketbooks.org
I just started reading this amazing book of essays by @JuliusGoat called "Very Fine People."
I wish I had found these essays (online) in 2017 when I was first so indescribably angry about the fucking orange Cheeto "winning" (still mad as hell, of course).
I don't think I've shared my backstory here, but I lost my amazing marriage to QAnon and the cult of Maga. It was horrific and painful, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I'm still trying to recover from the person I thought I knew and loved disappearing and changing into some right wing Kool-Aid-swilling Maga asshole almost overnight.
Anyway.
I'm trying to get the whole book read before the election, in case things go to shit.
It's heartening to find somebody else who was saying, hey, these people are Nazis, as far back as I was saying it -- and who also writes so well about that. (I wasn't on the Fediverse at that time.)
I am really glad to be here and be able to say things like "punching Nazis is a good and noble activity" and "let's keep this asshole out of office" without getting shut down by an algorithm or told that what I'm saying goes against community standards.
Thank you everyone here who understands that and makes that possible -- and thank you, AR, for your amazing book!
