No.
If we don't win in 2026 we might as well call ourselves a vassal state of Russia and China.

Nope, like I don't really care about all the political stuff that's going on. But I'm not hopeful at all about climate change.

Yes.

They'll have to kill me before I give up.

Never ever give in to fascists. That's what they want. Fight til your last breath. May as well. What's the alternative? Giving into despair and dying anyway?

Now can I guarantee how things will turn out? No. Not at all. But fuck giving up.

Call it delusional. Call it cope. Call it whatever you want. Just cling to it.

Fuck

I have cope, if that counts
Hey, everyone, what's going on in this topic? Oh.
No, not really. We are cooked even if we shake off Trump. The next Republican to take power may actually be not a total moron too.
Many Bothans died to bring you this post.
The opposition party is less full reversal and more gradually delaying the inevitable.

No. I think of all the assholes and stupid AF people I went to school with and it's obvious they are running the show, voting in all these horrible people and falling for all the social media brain rot propaganda. It's hard to imagine it getting better
Of course I do and it's sad so few of you do because you're only guaranteeing whatever fate they think you deserve.

These people want you beaten down and hopeless, why give them exactly what they want?
The shadows I live with are numberless
Not much at this point. Even if times were better I'm still at a great disadvantage by having mental/physical health concerns I can't afford to treat.
It is what it is, man.

i aint giving up. the topic was about whether or not we have hope

too many people confuse hopelessness with complacency or lack of willingness to act

Exactly this. I havent given up either. Its just hard to look at the state of the world and not feel a profound sense of disappointment.

Yes. What else am I going to do? Despair? I'll pass.
I always have hope
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.
Yes, but its gonna suck for a long time.
I have hope that the USA will collapse and some of the new nations that emerge will be pretty nice places to live.
It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

hope for what?

my career? eh. sure, I guess. with the rate cuts chances are there's gonna be another VC funding rush again, so more jerbs.

america? lol no we cooked.

myself as an asian? also cooked.

my family? maybe cooked...? my hope is that my kid builds a decent career so they can take their skills to a country where being asian is actually normal.

Allmind exists for all mercenaries.
I have some small hope that the dawn will come
A worthless existence
Depends on the context.

Locally? Sure. Profit chasing means every institution has a vested interest in ensuring life and society continues largely unchanged regardless of higher echelon fascistic shenanigans. Prices go up, but not untenably so. I've never really expected to be able to own a home so nothing changes there.

So, life goes on.

On a national level? Questionable. We seem to have a habit of electing the worst and stupidest people possible and this is causing various potential issues with quality of life because we're outsourcing medical advisory duties and financial regulations to people who factually do not have brain matter. That can only function for so long before things start hitting the local level.

On a world stage? Sure. Just because things are shit here doesn't mean things are shit everywhere, no matter how much the engagement oriented media wants to catastrophize for clicks
Why not go all in?

I do but it is admittedly hard to keep hoping for the future.

Hope is...comforting. It allows us to escape fate, however tragic it might be.

yea, why wouldn't i?
"knowledge is power, but only if power has knowledge; otherwise it wouldn't be power."
No. I'm just too broken to feel any hope now.

This.

If absolutely nothing else, I live and move on out of spite for the people who hurt me. I have to have hope that things will get better, for me and my brothers and sisters - even if it means making that happen myself.

No. I legitimately think the US as we know it is done. There is no coming back from this.
I disposed of doubt long ago.
This will be a day long remembered.
All I have now is mostly spite towards MAGA and protest voters.
Yes, definitely. As long as we can shoot the **** on GFAQs. I have hope. In the cosmic scheme of things, nothing is inevitable (have to thank Boston College Prof. Heather Cox Richardson for that phrase). I may not see the truly better days, but I'll be damned to sit here and not at least do what's in my power to participate in my democracy.

We're in a dark period right now. But there's been many "dark periods" in the history of the world. The truth is Trump is weak, and he's being so bombastic for exactly thus. So, I am grateful to be healthy (have an awesome family and friends) and live in a relatively safe country, but I also do not take this for granted and want to see better for my fellow country folk (maybe not MAGAs - they need to be tried and serve prison sentences), but for law-abiding people, I want to see brighter days.

The "moral arc" is long and "bends towards justice" but not by default, we must do our part to make the reality so.

My two cents.
Bleep blorp, I am an unfeeling ConstitutionBot. Laws are static and not open to interpretation. KLANK! What is this hu-man emotion called... love?-Swedish sven
Yes.
I don't honestly know how, but yes.
I think despair negative underflowed. I'm not giving into it, or them.
What a fuddy duddy.
No, we are fucked because of climate change.

I have hope that certain acerbic elements will be renegotiated in the months and years to come and a new normal may emerge.

Worldly hope? Not even a tiny crumb; fascism is on the rise globally and evil is only growing stronger. No one cares about anyone anymore and only want to persecute the innocent.

I do have hope in the form of my faith in the Lord, though. In less than a decade, all of this will be finished.
