Dr Eleanor Janega: I encourage those whose lives are not going to be immiserated by the incoming administration to perhaps consider the feelings of those directly threatened by them. Ask trans people or immigrants how they feel about the new, more "effective" neo liberals coming into power. Tina has aptly put it here:

can't you just ENJOY things¹?! ¹the new guy working on removing you from society will be nicer to me personally

Why am I unhappy about the transphobe racist coming to power? Truly a mystery for the ages.

Not terrifying at all when the people pledging to do what the Tories were doing but effectively come into power. No sir.

Always love to counter this "effective government" crap with "an effective government to do what?" and you never get a response at that point because they know what they want is unpalatable.

Why can't you just shut up and be happy that my team is going to win for a change and not do anything to harm me personally, hmmm?

In my experience, they're happy to answer that question...in a private setting with their friends. Its about not getting caught.

Literally what's always been said about fash historically. "Got the trains to run on time".

Rachel Reeves saying she will be even harsher than the Tories on welfare is a fucking death threat to so many of us.

No one with a union jack that big could be a bad guy? Right? Right?

The thought of a competent right-wing government coming in scares me more than the current reality of an incompetent right-wing government. This government's only saving grace is that they're too incompetent to actually do half the heinous shit they want to do.

Exactly!!!!

HA! Okay, I'm going to go call a crisis support line.

I would like to personally thank starmer for helping me keep up the storied tradition in my family of having to flee to some new country every generation. Really makes me feel connected to my grandmother

"We are gonna do the pogroms well, unlike the Tories." Uhhhhhhhjjbdjslsmdndkksssnndk

starmer getting confused and crossing tracks, promising to deal with trans incursions camping on common land

*Keith voice* "The Tories are wasting too much of the tax payer's many with their pogroms. Labour will do it in fiscally responsible way"

Disabled and chronically ill people too, particularly those of us unable to work, and anyone relying on benefits. Solidarity with all demographics in Starmer's sights.

You are absolutely right!!!

You also get responses ranging from incomprehension to fury if you dare to mention the possibility of building resistance *against* a Labour goverment.
