Makeup is gay, but so are pinks and reds. Is there a direction I can go where I become so gay I end up straight?

I think the US has a pretty big, semi-unconscious death wish.
I grew up in a world like she is describing, and things are nothing like that today.
I lived in a very Asian and liberal part of the LA metro area in 2020, and Trumpers had truck parades through here open carrying their guns, blowing their horns, complete with “fuck your feelings” flags.
It really sucks that Rumsfeld died. His endorsement combined with Dick Cheney’s could have really swung this thing for the Dems.
Reminds me (an old man) of the Jane’s Addiction song “Idiots Rule,” which feels like an anthem for today: “You know the man you hate; you look more like him every day…”
It was obvious in Trump country that enthusiasm had waned. Nobody here seemed to care. Or maybe they couldn’t afford all the flags and hats and other Trump merch this time.
It was also obvious that the Democrats were going to lose votes. 15 million is a downright Clintonian achievement, though.
It’s so strange that Dick Cheney’s endorsement didn’t drive Democrats to the polls.
I think voter suppression efforts were a great strategy to lose ground in both the Senate and the House.
They mean preschools. Daycares. Pediatric hospitals. Things like that.
Aren’t they exterminating their poor people?
I’m picturing a trans-only waiting room in a fancy building somewhere.
