America is such a fucking joke it's no longer funny. I wish we could isolate the rest of the world from your madness but unfortunately we can't.

Yeah, keeping our shit to ourselves has never really been our strong suit.

Sorry :(

As a Middle Easterner, I genuinely feel sorry for the non maga Americans, but unfortunately that's your fight to fight.

Good luck.

And fight we do. I’ve considered myself an activist for almost 30 years now. I thought fighting for marriage equality was gonna be hard. I’m really not looking forward to this.

We're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Keep fighting the good fight. You've got a good decade on me, but I see you and I'm right there with you. ✊
