I guess "get fucked", realistically speaking. I can't afford to leave on my own, my social life is empty of anyone else I can depend on, and I will almost certainly have a target on my back as a gay guy -- after they're done with trans people, we'll probably be next.
Get a lesbian beard now would be a decent plan to consider. Just someone you can stand enough to have as a roommate.

This is a problem that needs fixing regardless of who’s elected.
Why don’t you have a support network?

Where does one buy one of those, and how much do they cost? Asking for me. 😂
Mine cost me about $4k from an at-the-time reputable fursuit maker
Ah that’s my problem. I’m spending too much on silicone dicks and not enough on the suit.
Nah, I don't think you spent too much. We all need to take Chances once in a while.
It does cost a lot though, gotta be careful not to Nix your wallet and Crash your economy.
And this is why I love Lemmy. :D
Aww, and Lemmy loves you! 💖
Also, just to toot my own horn, I felt pretty proud of that last one. I initially was like "how the heck do you casually drop Fenrir or David in a sentence" but... It's not nearly as elegant as Chance.
I think you buy them by keeping your own promises to people consistently, but I’m not sure since I haven’t done that yet.
I think you likely also have to be decently sociable, and I find socialising with people in real to be both difficult and exhausting.
The only family I have supporting me right now doesn't want to leave the country and can't provide meaningful support from afar, meaning I have to stay here. And staying during a second Trump term could be dangerous very quickly indeed if I'm to believe even half of the insane shit coming out of Project 2025.
other than my family, I just don't have much luck making connections with other people, I get along better with dogs. Unfortunately, dogs don't help pay rent. worse, if Trump wins another term, I would actually consider it dangerous to be openly gay. Not that I was getting dates anyways, but it means I probably won't try anymore if it's going to put me or my family at risk of harassment.
I'm just trying to enjoy every day I have with my family and try not to panic too hard, now, mostly through distracting myself with weed and videogames. I don't know how soon things will get bad, but I don't think we have the resources necessary to protect us from what's coming if he wins again. We're struggling as is -- I've lost my job recently, I had to go through cancer this past year, I'm depressed -- I don't also need to be shit-scared of how the election plays out. Even if he loses, so much is still so fucked with our country right now.
What games do you play?
helldivers 2, mostly, as of late
I smoke weed and play video games too. Let me know if you want to game sometime
I sent you a dm with my steam ID, a week ago.
