I started looking through my post history to see if there were any swarmy posts I could use to meme about how all the support for Palestine has virtually vanished.

The best I could find was this one post

It was close but not worth the vitriol I would get for it. I was curious about what the person I was arguing with was up to, though.

Here’s a link to the entire argument:

What I found was better than any meme. Turns out I was arguing with a Harris voter. Despite the fact they wanted to get in the mud with me, on election day, they were at the polls fighting fascism. I don’t think anything I said or did contributed to this outcome but this election cycle made me think all people were straight up, dumb. Turns out I’m dumb, for not having more faith in people.

Think what you will, and maybe this doesn’t have the same impact on you but I know now there is a path forward. It’s not a matter of fighting or not fighting. It’s a matter of trusting.

I trust in goodness. I trust in love. I trust in my neighbor who’s done nothing but leave me be and check up on me when I’m in trouble. No matter how many people destroy my gate there is always one who will try to shut it.
