Pete is a 'filthy queer' (the nicest thing these false Christians say about him...) who dares to speak about Christianity like someone who has actually READ the New Testament, and no zealot is gonna be ok with THAT being president!
AOC is an uppity brown woman that Faux News CANNOT STOP RAILING AGAINST, no matter how ridiculous they come across while doing so...
And Ilhan Omar is a monster - sorry, a Muslim (same difference to those people...) - who wants to institute Sharia Law (unlike, I guess, the false Christians trying to conquer America from within in order to institute THEIR fundamentalist dogma as law...)!
That's not to mention the anxiety that comes from dreading the next climate change bombshell that Republicans will ignore in the name of hoarding all the money, no matter the cost. Or the latest extinction. Or the newest religiously-motivated genocide. Or the latest atrocity from Russia and it's allies. Or the latest Republican defending rapists while trying to get laws in place to murder women who get an abortion, or...
Every day, I wake up and my anxiety peaks before I even do anything. But no, things in America are GREAT....
