Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(3/?) What other reasons are people too tired to rise up and resist a <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a>? For me, personally, it's the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a> I'm still coping with from the first <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> administration. Specifically, for me, the trauma that hurt the most wasn't the pain inflicted upon people by the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fascists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascists</span></a>. I expected that. The pain that cut so deep it created a wound that won't heal came from the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/left" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>left</span></a>. It came from the cutthroat infighting between so-called "comrades" and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/leftists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>leftists</span></a>. It came from "I'm more left than you" posturing, accusing everyone who didn't exactly agree with them of being cops, and being ready, at a moment's notice, to ostracize and harass anyone they didn't like. There was a lot of toxicity in the left during the first Trump admin, and I ended up leaving an <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/activist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activist</span></a> group I'd literally given my blood, sweat, and tears to because it felt like an abusive relationship. </p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Activism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FightingFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FightingFascism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coup</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a></p>
