democrats were warned during biden’s campaign in 2020 they (the left) wouldn’t do it again for them. and you’re surprised that they followed through when presented with a genocidal candidate? :shocked pikachu:

maybe if the dems would stop fielding such uninspuring candidates whos main argument seems to be “i’m not that guy” they might get somewhere

If I didn’t have someone who depends on me 100%, I might stay. But she is my number one priority.

I always tell people who are reluctant to cut off narcissistic parents: you owe your parents nothing. You didn’t ask to exist. They owe you everything.

people are kind beings ripped from me

Covid was a big sobering moment for me as it materialized everything I read in history. I’m done with giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. People are fucking stupid and I can’t be trusted.

Deleted prior comment because the comment didnt add to the conversation and I got lost in my own spiral.

But Squid, I think its admirable to put your daughter first. Everyone with half a brain knows that decisions like this, uprooting an established family and everything you know, isnt made lightly/on a whim. You’re showing your support of her well-being, and every time you talk about her on here, you come off as such a loving parent. We should all be so lucky. And, youve talked about having chronic illness before and it sounds like youre headed to a place with socialized health care. I wish you and yours all the luck in the world.

As for my husband and I, we’re childfree by choice, so we’re the best kinda people to stay behind. The kind who can weigh decisions against our own well being and decide what we can/cant handle exposing ourselves to without mixing up a child in this mess.

Fuckin’ not staying in Texas tho.

Sigh.

Where for me is the UK, where I am also a citizen. No, it is nowhere near perfect. They also don’t have a government that’s going to force my daughter into a conversion camp. If that happens one day? Well, we’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it. She’ll be much safer there for now than she is here.
