A reminder and a message to my peers

Someone in a comment section was spouting a decent paraphrase of this utter bullshit, and I wanted to upload this so that I can respond to them with it. But man, this is important for everyone to see.

Just remember that if you feel like there's no point in even trying to untangle this utter fucking mess we're in, it's in no small part because there are people out there maliciously doing their best to make you feel exactly that. They want you to feel that way *precisely* because they know they are on shaky ground. They desperately need people to stop trying so hard to shut them and their agents down, to stop investigating their misdeeds, to stop talking about their hypocrisies.

So don't feel down, guys, or like there is no point. Feel manipulated, feel cheated, feel pissed the fuck off. This isn't the time to question whether we can fix things, this is the time to rally forth, to put reservations aside and do our best. Call out people spreading bigoted, toxic, or disingenuous ideologies when you see them proselytizing. Call for facts, for evidence, for supporting data, for rational thought and logical conclusions. Call for accountability. And, more importantly than anything else, show up on election days. Get out there and fucking vote, every chance we get.
