From what i’ve pieced, an argument that got out of control because everyone is on absolute defcon 5 due to america going insane.
Which i totally get. I’ve seen more than a few people being blithe about this at people who live or have experience closer to the edges of society and honestly that’s not a kind or smart thing to do.
The world has survived a lot of things. We’ve also lost a lot of things we shouldn’t have doing so.
I know you mean well, but be careful. Saying something like that to someone who’s literally a cunthair from being rounded up really doesn’t’ come across as anything other than toxic positivity.
I wasn’t quite sure if I should have said anything or not and even trying to be well meaning it’s being taken quite negatively so I’ll go back to staying quiet about it.
Everyone’s at peak shaved monkey touchiness (to quote pratchett) 'cos it absolutely fucking sucks. It’s insane.
Don’t be quiet. Let people know you’re there for them. Let them know you don’t think this is ok. Let them know you think it sucks and you hope there are better days ahead - but yeah, be aware that platitudes can sound so, so hollow right now.
I thought as much. What is happening in the US should be lesson for people here as to what not to do. Sadly, there are plenty who think that is the right direction to take.
Just yesterday I saw dome dork in a MAGA hat in my neighbourhood. My initial reaction is punch someone line that in the throat (had family that died under Nazi occupation), however the best thing to do is ignore their colours and educate others.
For now at least. I have a feeling that the high ground will not be option much longer. Really hope our leaders and media call this shit out for what it is.
(Not looking forward to this. My in laws are musk worshippers. We could gingerly avoid the subject when he was a kholed idiot talking shit, but since afd and now the salute a line has been crossed)

I knew the election had a very heavy emotional effect on some here.
We and the world survived his previous stint in the Oval Office. We’ll make it again.
