Brat Summer - Tumblr Posts
BRAT summer and it´s the same except it´s winter in south america so it´s not
Bumping that
Being in my hoe era has taught me a lot:
The safety of consent and testing
My pain tolerance is higher than I thought
How to release emotions through kink
The more I engage with it, the better it gets and if the shoe fits, wear it.
Like the song goes,
🎶1 2 Buckle my shoe🎶
🎶3 4 I’m a dirty whore🎶
every time you get too close, i run away every time you say the words, i don't know what to say back to the beginning, really wish that i could change i do, i do

Since you can’t see my face, I figured this was fine to post 🥰🤍
Kinda want someone to be manipulate, gaslight me and hypnotise into becoming obsessed with them just to possess and control me 😍
Even as someone generally less left leaning and less engaged with american politics than everyone here I have to agree. In fact, I think I can add to this with my perspective of having been pretty well within the right wing circlejerk as an edgelord teenager and say that It's not just that the democrats are having fun now, its that republicans aren't anymore. They really just lost the spark they had. The memes are fucking shit now. And worse, they're becoming bad in all the ways the left wing was bad. The over-the-top fearmongering about the countries future, the purity spirals, the cancel mobs, the victimhood culture, the indignant baby-whining about election interference, the right has lost even the legs it might have once had to stand on and is pettily resorting to all the tactics it, sometimes rightly, criticized the left for.
As for Trumps 2024 campaign, the vibe is just dead now.
It was already dying when it started, given how old and mellowed-out trump is and how much of a let-down he turned out to be for a not insignificant portion of his voter base, but the one-two punch of the shooting attempt and then losing the easiest political opponent in american history killed any possibility of the trump campaign being hopeful or upbeat. Now it's all deadly fucking serious business and we all know that just isn't what got Trump into office in the first place.
Plus, the rights "cultural victories" and increase in publicity has been vastly self-defeating.
We've seen the rise and fall of comedy dudebro podcasts, of incel terminology, of twitter personalities, political streamers, whatever the fuck happened with Jordan Peterson, and almost none of it has been good for the right wings optics.
Little has done more to push me leftward than to see Elons twitter bring some of the most embarassing and vile corners of the right wing not just out of the woodwork, but to the forefront . And thats not even getting into Elon himself.
Even the rights own terminology is being turned against them with the rise of the term "soyright" to describe just how fucking inane, unfunny, and sauceless most right wing memes and propaganda (not least of which being the AI generated slop which the rights clung onto out of increasing creative bankruptcy) are these days even by the standards of people who were, like me, right wing during trumps first 4 years. Maybe I grew up, maybe I know better now, but it could just as easily be the case that being right-wing just genuinely isn't cool anymore. The absolute state of american politics both in washington and in silicon valley has just completely exhausted everybody and now finally somebody with some pep comes along, someone not totally geriatric, and even as forced as the memes may be, even for someone like me whos never really been in favour of the mainstream left or democrats, its still a breath of fresh air.
Coconut Mommy 2024, fellow chuds. This is the way forward.
I think one of the reasons the Harris / Walz ticket has so much momentum is because the campaign is genuinely trying to put out this vibe of fun. Like that's all the "brat" thing is, the coconut jokes, just being kind of silly and fun.
And I think it's working, because let's be real, we are all exhausted. It's been all about preserving democracy, defeating fascism, the past eight years. The message has been "vote for us because the country is literally on the line". The vibes are not good when we are stuck back at that fight, and not even discussing trying to make progress on things like housing, healthcare, education, etc. And the fight to just stop fascism? All still true. Project 2025 is real and is extremely scary. We can't let that man back into office.
But the vibe was "vote for us otherwise we're all fucked :(" and now has shifted to "get in, we're making popcorn and then bullying fascists." Like a lot of the issues conservatives bring up, the Harris / Walz is just not engaging them in good faith, as they shouldn't. Republicans bring up abortion, and the Dems are just like, "you want 14 year old to give birth? Weirdo" and just leave it at that. Like YES, that's what you should do. Because it SHOULDNT be a debate. And it's working. This is how you defeat the identify politics thing Republicans have been trying to push for a while. Just mocking them for the stupidity of it all. "Like seriously? You think a book can make someone gay??? Hahaha." None of the Republicans are reacting well. They can't stand it. Vance even complained about bullying!!! Like do you KNOW who picked you as vp??? It's actually laughable, because they have no room to stand on when it comes to bullying.
And a huge part of the mocking and dismissing of Republicans is that the message is clear - were done debating all this stupid stuff. We've won the last two elections' popular vote - most Americans do NOT want christo-facism. It's time to move on. And that's what gives me hope, and the feeling of hope I think a lot of people have picked up on. It's time to address all the issues we've all wished we've been addressing the past decade. It's important we move onto that, and that's the message I'm getting from this campaign (We're not going back). I think it will resonate with a lot of people, because plainly, we're all just sick of this same old news cycle and fake rage bait over things like "should women have rights?", "Should gay people be allowed to exist?" The general populace have answered YES to both these multiple times, and it is time to move on. Maybe I'm being naive, but I am genuinely excited at the idea of putting to bed these debates (it's exhausting trying to fend your very existence) and moving on to actual economic and social policies that could fix a lot of deterioration over the last 2 decades.
