Red Caps & Broken Bonds

Sailor Venus

(Why did I post that voting selfie? I knew they'd see it...)

Mako

You actually voted for Trump? Even after all the shit he's said about transgender people like me.

Sailor Venus

I thought about the economy! It's not like I agree with everything—

Ami

(I should have voted. I kept telling myself my research was more important...)

Usagi

At least I voted my conscience! The Green Party actually cares about Gaza—

Mako

Your 'conscience' doesn't help when I'm scared to walk outside Usagi! Mina, I thought you understood... of all people. Trump's a predator.

Sailor Venus

I just wanted to lower my taxes. I didn't think he'd go this far.

Usagi

Biden was the one who keep arming Israel. Think of the babies starving in Gaza.

Ami

C'mon girls does it really matter. (I admit too scared to take a stand.)

Sailor Venus

You guys are just overreacting. It won't be so bad.

Sailor Venus

(It's only been a few months. I regret voting for that rotten pumpkin in a pin stripped suit.)

Mako

They're throwing trans people out of the military, the economy is shit, and Trump's supreme court could end same sex marriage.

Sailor Venus

It was about the economy! Why did I trust a guy who's gone bankrupt six times???!!!!

Ami

I didn't vote. Voting is futile as they all serve-

Usagi

At least I voted my conscience! The Green Party actually cares about Gaza—

Mako

Usagi, shut the fuck up! Jill Stein was an idiot and didn't even break five percent last election. Kids are starving in Gaza under Trump.

Sailor Venus

At least my portfolio looks... oh goddammit I lost have of it just now.

Usagi

What about Gaza?

Ami

(How do I live with myself?)

Mako

Do you know what Trump's done to Title IX protections? My hormone treatments could be classified as 'experimental' and denied coverage!

Sailor Venus

(She's right. I voted for a tax break and got... this.)

Mako

They've already started deporting Venezuelan asylum seekers. Even kids with cancer despite them being citizens.

Usagi

But Gaza—

Ami

Trump's already talking to Netanyahu about "redeveloping" Gaza into luxury resorts after the Palestinians are relocated.

Usagi

(Oh my god... what have we all done?)

Sailor Venus

I was wrong. About everything. And I'm going to spend the rest of my life getting involved.

Ami

The midterms are in two years. Who's ready to actually do something?

Mako

We can't wait for politicians to save us. I'm starting a mutual aid network for trans folks who've lost healthcare coverage.

Sailor Venus

I spent years in my conservative media bubble. I'm deleting my old news apps and diversifying my sources starting today.

Usagi

Perfection is the enemy of progress. I wanted to send a message with my vote, but I should have sent help instead.

Ami

I've got voter registration forms right here. We register today, vote in every election, and never sit out again.

Mako

First meeting's Thursday. We're organizing rides to the polls too - no more excuses.

Usagi

Let's film a voter registration PSA. The world needs to see us owning our mistakes and fighting back.

Sailor Venus

I'm sorry everyone, to you Makoto and too all those poor people who got and are still being unfairly deported.

Ami

We've got to get moving and turn out the vote.
