#we. know.

“breaking news, Elon Musk does drugs. heavily.” did we not already know that? was that not the most common of common knowledge? am I imagining things or was that a heavy component of the Grimes saga? are we supposed to be shocked??? is the Trump admin trying to besmirch him by disseminating widely known information? 

Stop acting like everyone in america is all "hurr dur freedom"! Stop pretending everyone in america is fucking stupid! We live in a fascist police state with a very very loud conservative party that will do whatever the fuck they want to the people in this country and convince a good portion of the population that it was a good thing. When you make those stupid jokes you're A; genuinely reducing how horrible and terrifying this country is, and B; its just goddamn insulting to those of us that live with this reality every day. I could legally be classified a terrorist soon for calling myself antifa! Black people are murdered on the streets in broad daylight and the police convince people it was self defense! They tried to take away trans peoples right to healthcare in the middle of a pandemic! People are being kept in cages in detention centers! We have no nationalized healthcare and a lot of us are lower class or below the poverty line-and they keep cutting benefits for those who need help. Our military and police get a ridiculous amount of funding, and they deployed the national guard into the streets to stop protests against police violence. America is killing everyone who does not agree with the most bigoted of us. And we know it so stop acting like we all believe the lies they tried to feed us.

...that one friend where when you tell them about a thing that happened that upset you you get a whole lecture on why the thing happened with history and notes even though you know full well why it happened and you're not actually surprised it happened, you're just sad that it happened

And he lives!
