I’ve “been doing” for the last 30 years. How many protests have you gone to, I’ve gone to so many I can’t even count them, how many sit ins have you done? How many abortion clinics have to stood outside to protect those who need the services? I’ve stood outside of countless clinics. I’ve done the footwork, nothing has changed, as a matter of fact it’s gotten even worse. I’m fucking sick of fighting for rights when ¾ of this fucking country can’t even bother to vote
I remember an old friend visiting before Trump’s first win. He protested the wars and was part of occupy Wallstreet. He too was disillusioned by the apathy of his fellow Americans. He learned a different lesson and was cheering on Clinton’s loss. What we all have in common is a deep cynicism towards the majority and while it might be “right”, it is not a helpful framework for getting out of our current predicament.
