If you’re doom-scrolling for updates on Trump’s big beautiful bill, I want you to stop with me for just a moment. Because, yeah, we’re probably gonna get some bad news, and it’s gonna hurt a lot of people. I’ve had no other way to put it: the Republican Party has truly betrayed the United States with what they are doing, and it’s horrible.
But what are we gonna do about this? Just because this bill becomes law doesn’t mean it’s forever. Yes, it’s going to suck. Yes, this is bad. But are we just going to give up because we suffer defeat? Do we give up on the entire game because we had a bad quarter? Do you give up on the whole war because you lost a battle? You don’t do that. You don’t do that.
You can be upset, and you can lash out and say, ‘This isn’t fair. This is fucked up. I don’t know what to do.’ That is okay. Take the time that you need to feel those feelings because they’re valid. But know that you’re not alone. Know that there are people who are working to help, and you can help too by taking care of yourself.
Support your community. Go out into community events and be part of your community, because strong communities can survive this. And although this bill is a disaster and it’s going to do a lot of harm, we can work to fix it. There will be a time when Donald Trump is no longer president. I don’t know when that time is, but it will come, and we’re gonna have to pick up the pieces. But we have to make sure that we are a strong community when it is our turn to clean this mess up.
I hope you have a good day. I know this is going to be hard, but we’re gonna get through it. Come on back to this video. Find a friend. Comment, support each other. We’re going to get through this."
