Oh God, yeah. The thought has been freaking me out.

And moreso even, some people's reactions (or lack thereof). It's like...I'm too upset to even debate with people who want to yank net neutrality.

I really believe it's just a matter of ignorance. I mean, who wants to pay more for their internet services? Especially when our internet providers have already screwed us over. Greedy fucktards...

Yes, it's ridiculous. And I'm not an extreme liberal (I'm not extremely anything, beyond exasperated), but everyone advocating for more "capitalism" and "jobs" with internet hosts are well-off conservatives. Ones that scarcely take advantage of the net for anything worthwhile beside FB and emails.

I don't appreciate those people claiming people like us "just wanting free shit". This is so much more important than money...

It's just like you said, this whole year has been exasperating, because words have failed me to express the hopelessness, the outrage, the frustration, the despair, and neverending fear of what's coming next. I mean, cold hard facts talking here, I may not be too affected by what's going on myself, but I understand that there's much more to worry about than just my own wellbeing, but everyone else's. I also have friends I care about, who are much more affected by today's politics than me.

All in all, it constantly infuriates me that there's just no justice in the world... I try to calm myself down by remembering that we're just one nation and that there are a lot of other countries who have their shit together, but I live here and I have to worry about my rights, my healthcare, and what the fuck is going to happen to all our beautiful national parks and wildlife, because apparently, none of those things matter.

God forbid the wealthy ever think of anyone other than themselves, and the frustrating thing is that they can actually profit better off of employees who are actually in good care. 

Common sense is not needed when you're well off apparently.

I'm with you 10000%. I just almost need to let myself have designated times to worry about it, so I can still function for the remainder of these days. Everything seems to be falling apart.

I have so much to say, but it probably won't contribute anything more. You basically said it all. At least we can empathize <3 I'm grateful for you!
