The only bit of hope i can really give you is that, historically, movements that are trying to forestall societal change usually end up accelerating it.
Only the arts can do this.

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Wanna put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you

I’m gonna lose my mind.
Actually, no. There were no laws against having sex with child slaves in 1776.
"Horrific" or no, it wasn't "immoral" in Jefferson's time.
Would he have any less of a chance of being elected president in 2024? 🤔 #PedoDon

What is so interesting here is how much Trump thinks of himself as a New Yorker and craves the acceptance of those who live there
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Oh look a foot soldier for the patriarchy
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

We compromise on 68, and I promise you he lounges under blankets in July

When Harry Truman’s daughter Bess got a bad review on her singing performance by a newspaper, Truman wrote to the reviewer (on White House stationary) that he wanted to fight the reporter. It was a semi big scandal.
This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.
