Has the Trump administration made you more suicidal?

[Placo]

Since you learned that Trump will be the American president for the next 4 years, are you more suicidal or less? Obviously the question concerns American users more than anything else, although in the end, given what is at stake, I would say that at the moment it affects European users as well.

To me, honestly, it made me more suicidal initially, now I would say neutral.

Yes...

it does sting a bit knowing that my ex split with me a day after the election ended and Trump won the presidency, he was boasting about how happy he won and then had a whole discussion about wanting to part ways with me and start a new chapter. One of the most painful phone calls I ever had.

On the other hand, each policy he sends out leaves me more angry and frustrated. They're trying to deem it a felony to identify as trans in certain states, the rise of costs and goods are going to increase because of tariffs, RFK Jr. wanting to eliminate mandatory vaccines in schools putting childrens' lives at risk, mass deportations of immigrants are on the rise.. it's a whole shitshow and we're already leaning towards a dictatorship. I mentioned this before, but Trump literally wants blue states to be wiped off the map. Anyone who thinks differently from him is seen as an enemy in his eyes.

I didn't have much faith in the US government though, there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes that we are unaware of.

I;m not even American, I just wish I could stop hearing about mr annoying orange and his best friend mr cyberstuck. Stand up Americans, it's about time already

 

[Forever Sleep]

Yes. Even though I'm not American, it just depresses me that people like him and Musk do so well in this world. It's just more reason I want out. Plus, while I'm not massively close to people here, it's still distressing to see how much it's affecting some of our US members.

It's not helping that's for sure

 

[Dingo67]

No, it made me feel a lot better about the current state of American society.

Yes it definitely has sped up the timeline for me. I am worried he will crash the economy or even worse a great a depression. Maybe not this year but I dont want to wait around to find out. thats prob the biggest one and everything else hes doing does not make me want to be a part of this world anymore.

 

[missanthrope]

Yes, I have depression and anxiety anyway but throw in these maniacs who are going to do their best at cutting benefits namely SSI. I just heard today how DOGE is going to 'break' SS they're going to require people on line to verify something but people who don't have a computer will have to go to a field office which they already closed many and fired 7,000 people. Im on benefits now but this will make applying for them a nightmare. Hi, I'm new

 

[Pessimist]

Definitely more suicidal. I live in Israel and I oppose the war on Gaza. Trump and Netanyahu are close friends, so Israel can get away with anything now. It's very dangerous.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

Idk if I'm more suicidal but I'm definitely depressed about the state of the world.

The rise of the right wing in general as well as it being synonymous with hate against anyone who's not a cis white male (seriously? we're going back on woman's reproductive rights?)
