reverseoppression:

i keep seeing and hearing white liberals make comments like “hey! we’ve survived the trump presidency this far so maybe things are gonna be okay!!1!1!1!” and i just need people to take a step back and realize how privileged statements like that are.

like yes Wealthy White Hipster Jake from the Suburb™️, things are probably going okay for you. but it’s easy for the privileged to “survive” when their existences are not actively under attack. not everyone is surviving this presidency. thousands of brown children are being separated from their families and sold to sex traffickers. black and brown queer people are being killed and hyperincarcerated at reprehensible rates. homelessness is increasing as the vulnerable continue to be pushed out due to gentrification. not everyone is surviving this presidency.
