not everyone has family support and not everyone has the mental strength to call abusers out

sometimes all people can do is have enough strength to save themselves

fuck it's so depressing that trump is a proven rapist, found guilty in a court of law and there are still people who think he is innocent and there are people who voted for him knowing his guilt

I agree with all of this and know it all too well, I'll will add some people don't have the strength to save themselves.

Trump-dump is another problem - him becoming president again is 'permission' for like-minded individuals to act on their desire for control over women, lgbtq+, minorities, etc. anyone who isn't a white maga man is in danger. The minorities who voted for him don't understand they are going to be victims too, no minority is safe with Cheeto-lini in power.
