    Is anyone else increaseingly worried they’ll get taken out by one of these maniacs. America is so unsafe, but everyone acts like its nbd. I hate it. I dream of the day I’m in China and won’t have to worry im gonna get blown up, or shot randomly while grocery shopping or something.

      One of my biggest fears is being killed by one of these people, but specifically in large part because of the indignity of being killed by one of these types of jackasses.

        As someone who is trans and fled the United States recently because of the political situation- The psychic damage from constantly being exposed to mass shootings and other attacks is real and it does affect quality of life and I think it’s rude as hell to paint people as cowards for wanting to emigrate.

          I didnt see the comment you replied to before it got deleted but i can kinda guess what it was since ive seen similar sentiment before. I appreciate you replying to it for me. The whole thing kinda baffles me. Arent leftists supposed to be pro-immigration? My grandparents werent even born here. They left a place my ancestors lived for thousands of years, and im supposed to stick around in this horrible place we’ve only been in for like 50 years? Why?

          People will tell me like i need to “stay and fight for a better America.” Like why the fuck would i do that? I might be American on paper (for now) but culturally i am not. I hate this place. The people i love arent American for the most part. I don’t celebrate the same holidays as most Americans. I dont eat the same foods as them.

          The geographical location of your birth does not and should not dictate who you are, and what you can do. Period.
