Overheard at the Counter: Ten Things You Can Do for This Voting Season

 As we start the voting season, one thing is assured: 


Your country will not survive if the Fascists remain in power.


A second thing, though, you should be aware of:


If the Democrats come into power, they may indeed try to hold Trump accountable. However, the Republicans are MASTERS of obfuscation 

They will spend the next two years "putting molasses in the gas tank" and since the Conservatives DO CONTROL THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA (don't ever fucking believe otherwise), you will hear nothing - I repeat, NOTHING - but an endless deluge of how useless the Democrats are

(which will actually be true because of the aforementioned Republican obfuscation)


While all this sounds dismal, you can do you your part:


1) Get yourself involved in your local politics.

2) Shop local (and yes, that means do your best to pry yourself off your Amazon addiction)

3) Do not associate with MAGA. Even family 

4) If you are in a position to hire, don't hire MAGA (it's not a protected class, so you are not breaking any laws.

5) Visit your National Parks (they're beautiful ... and soon they will also be gone)

6) Defend all people against ICE violence. Be prepared to lay your body on the line.

7) Know that Fascists WILL KILL YOU.  They only need an excuse.  Have your mind ready for that.

8) Remember that other people have gone through things like this throughout all of history.  This is just your moment in history.

9) Read physical books.

10) and ... FUCK AI.
