UK and USA. DO you ever have one of those days when you read the excuses of the far right, read their lies, their racism and their vile attitude to 'others' and think to your self, 'I just give up, we are losing the battle against evil'? I am having one of those days.
The worst thing? When they sit there going ‘ immigrants coming here and not leaving, taking our jobs and wealth, raping our women and killing our natives’ Like bro…. You’re describing the BRITISH FUCKING EMPIRE TO A TEE!!!! 😂🤦🏾♂️
Yep. A lot recently. The level of brainwashing is insane here in England. The whole media landscape is rotten to the core and I have good mates now saying ‘ refugees are causing crime in the uk’ and I’m so so sick of it. I feel we’re losing the battle against evil here.
It’s like shroedingers immigrant. Simultaneously stealing all the jobs and yet somehow causing all the crime. Utter bollocks.

Thank you Enrico.
Be more like the little train.
Good will always triumph over evil
In the end it will, but the damage done in between time will take years to mend.
No. You have to try.
Fell particularly hard today. But thanks, I will.
but then something happens to ignite your indignation all over again and you're back in the battle
Yes, and I have been in that battel against the far right wing Racists all my life. I won't give in to them.
good for you!
If only someone would wrap those gold doors around them both and drop them off somewhere in the Atlantic ocean.
keep in mind a lot of what you read online, especially in certain platforms, is bot generated content / or possibly human generated by specific individuals with a motive to trigger your exact reaction.
I can usually tell truth from mis-information, and I never read vile right wing newspapers or on-line sites anyway, but thank you for the heads up.
Take a break. Reminder yourself of why they shouldn't win. Then come back and don't give up - that's what they want, for you to give up.
Thank you, I am up and at them again.
Never, ever give in to these low-life bastards!
Thanks Tony, I am up and at them again
We don’t know “hopeless”; but if you want to see what heroism in the face of a truly hopeless situation looks like, here it is. Resist at all costs and in all places.
Don’t give up! Go to weekly protests for some “group therapy.” You will meet like-minded people and forge new friendships. I’ve been doing that since a week after the inauguration. Believe me, it helps.
Thank you so much, I will look for some.
I grow tired of it but will be damned if I give in.
A lot of the time I feel like we’ve already lost
Keep in mind, that is exactly what the propaganda wants you to believe. Hence the constant bombardment. In reality, none of that is a done deal.
I do but then I read Headlines like this BBC News The deputy leader of Worcestershire County Council has resigned, three months into the role David Taylor, from the county's ruling Reform UK party ' People have to start to understand that ReformUK is just a far right racist Party, waste of space
I have them too, we all do. We must push forward
Yes, and.... No!!! Never give up. Don't let the bastards get you down. We will win, Liars spiral, sooner are later they will implode if we keep the pressure up ❤️❤️❤️
Don't give up completely. Just take a few days off to recharge. It's all hands on deck for the long haul.
We all have those days - be kind to yourself and relax for a day or two. Remember that the arc of the universe bends toward justice Tough times don’t last
Always remember there are more of us who aren’t racist, we are the majority but perhaps a bit too silent.
I’m not sure anymore mate. Even good people who I know and like are spouting the immigrants are bad lines now without even realising that what they’re saying is hurtful to me as a fucking brown dude never mind that it’s literal racism.
Be honest, be friendly, tell them. Too many have been quiet to keep the peace. That was a big mistake. Mind, it’s like a hole in their perception. They don’t talk you but somehow their mind doesn’t connect you with ‘others’ We have to make it clear that we are all others.
I know Punkin, I get so fed up of people telling me it is all the immigrants faults. Ever since the UK Referendum when so many older people voted Leave they look at my age and just assume I am 'one of them' I am not and I never will be.
The worst thing? When they sit there going ‘ immigrants coming here and not leaving, taking our jobs and wealth, raping our women and killing our natives’ Like bro…. You’re describing the BRITISH l EMPIRE TO A TEE!!!!
Absolutely right, most empires in fact. Those vikings did to our fair maidens 😂😂 and the pillaging
Oh man that’s gotta be annoying! Farage and the referendum did so much damage that can’t even be quantified- like this crap.
Me too. The fascists just got a win in court here in the UK over a hotel housing asylum seekers. Wtf?
I know I am in the UK, just look at this far right shower outside another Hotel. Note, none of them at work, typical lazy racist Reformers. 'A large number of protesters criticised the scale of immigration as they gathered outside the Fownes Hotel in Worcester'
Yes they’ll be protesting outside all these hotels apparently with the full blessing of the judge 😡
Take a look at these ReformUK racist scrotes, they are all working age, but my guess is they have never done a day's work in their lives. With the Labour Party being slagged by most of the UKs media the UK is in such a dark place right now it scares me. I really do see Farage in Number 10 next.
Yes they did, that will add fuel to the flames of the racists.
Beau of the Fifth Column and Belle of the Ranch often say, "Given a long enough timeframe, we win. No exceptions." The arc of history does bend towards morality. We just have to keep pulling so that the timeframe isn't too long, though it may seem terribly arduous.
Me too.
Please, don't give up! I know sometimes it feels hopeless, but as it was once said, "It ain't over until it's over" Rest, relax, and come back fighting
they seem to be getting more frequent as the days progress too
About twice a week, when you just think, sod it, I'm too old for this, if this is what the morons want, let them have it. I'll probably be ok, leave them to it.
You just put in writing what I feel today. This is not my World, (I am 72 yrs old) that they are building in the UK (or the USA) I have no Grandchildren who will suffer under a far right wing Government, so why do I care? Oddly, given what I have said, I still do care.
I console myself by remembering that 4 years is a long time and Fartage can't ramp up the hatred much more before something gives, one way or the other. We've got to start playing dirty like they do, gloves off.
YES!! I think we all do but we must carry on.
By the way, I am a big Garden Gal myself, we have a large Allotment that keeps me busy, and sane.
In the garden industry for 50 years. Retired now.
Thank you I will carry on calling out the far right and the racists.
The office uses those days as range days. We do not advocate violence and will defend democracy with every legal means. That said we will never bend the knee to fascist rule our original oath forbids it.
They will never SUSPEND the Constitution; simply ignore it. A state of emergency or federalisation of state resources can effectively do the same thing. Changing district lines to favour Republicans will gerrymander the vote. It will look legal and sound legal. By they, it’s too late.
• Formal suspension = explicit. • Trampling into irrelevance = implicit. Either way, the result is the same: a Constitution that exists in name only, a stage prop while the rights it embodies are stripped away. The oath remains to the constitution not the regime
US here, for me I get angry bc Im a Navy vet and I didn't defend this nation only for it to go into fascism... The level of my personal rage is beyond words... This is most definitely NOT NORMAL!
I never give up. I may rest, regroup, but I keep coming.
Thank you Jeff. I will do just that. I have been fighting racism all my life and I am 72 yrs old. Sometimes it gets a bit exhusting.
I’m right there beside you. Been fighting for 65+ years myself.
Thanks Jeff. I am back. And I am smiling 'The ReformUK deputy leader of Worcestershire County Council, quit today. Just 3 months into the role. Run the UK?! ReformUK could not run a bath.
😏chuckling
NEVER give up. 👍
DO NOT GIVE UP, stay strong, we need you
It's difficult, we know who the evil are , we know what some did, it wears you down & can be triggering. We all get down at times, but it's ok to take a break, treat yourself, binge a TV series , run , walk or whatever makes you relaxed & happy or fulfilled.
Winston Churchill did often get it right. 'Britain’s greatest war leader, Sir Winston Churchill, was one of the first to call for the creation of a ‘United States of Europe’. He is recognised as one of the 11 founders of today’s European Union.' And we in the UK threw it all away.
Release the #TrumpsteinFiles
Yes. But got to keep on, keeping on….
I understand. We just can't give up. Take a day off from news, do something you enjoy, and take deep breaths. Come back to the fight when you are recharged. 💪👍
I fully comprehend what you are feeling. I feel like that every few weeks. That's when I shut off social media for a few days, do sonething that feels comforting and reassuring. There is good in this world and this country!!
Thank you, that makes me feel better.
