    I appreciate your answer, just pointing out that it’s hard to help others if you yourself are experiencing calamity, even potentially.

    You may pass for the time being, but there will be a point where you need to say something or so something to protect one of those friends, and the facade falls.

    Am I happy with Biden? Nope. But I’m definitely not voting for the cheatin’ Cheeto, or anyone even tangentially related.

      Hopefully; I sincerely hope that I can act when it’s time, rather than being paralyzed by fear. But a lot of people are really good at not directly confronting abuse in a system, aren’t they? How many people acted directly to prevent the murder of George Floyd, versus filming and yelling?
