If the goal is total collapse, I don't have much hope.
At the end of his term, (assuming he doesn't worm his way into getting more than 2) the next administration is just going to pick up the pieces and do their best to keep the current elite in power. :/
I've never minded being lumped into "you guys" and I'm a trans woman. But there are trans women that do mind, so I'm not gonna argue or anything if they tell me they don't like that term.
That being said, it does feel weird. Like having a problem with the term "mankind"... Like, I get "man" is a masculine term but nobody means "men" when they say "mankind", you know?
You'd think, right? But I have some customers that insist that I actually answer the question.
They'll walk up and say "hi! how are you?" and I'll say "hello"... And then they'll look me directly in the eyes and say again "how are you???" rather than telling me what they want so I can get them through the line.
My usual response is to look at them like ಠ_ಠ and say "...I'm good? How are you?" to indirectly communicate to them that they're being weird af. But one of these times I want to just trauma dump on these old ladies that do this shit and watch as they have no idea what to say, and hopefully make them feel awkward as I hold up the line to give them a genuine answer to the question they insisted I respond to.
Yes.
