For the privileged few of us, this is true. Currently marginalized groups almost certainly won't "be fine."

To a lot of worried and suffering people, your initial tweet has more notes of "stop overreacting" than "keep hope alive" Very closely related messages, extremely different impacts.

Bingo.

That’s your fault then, not mine. You’re reading something that wasn’t said even vaguely because you’re looking to make a point completely unrelated to mine. It’s only relevant to the point I made if you think that will continue to be the case in the long run

That's ridiculous, Austen. Things you say carry denotation and connotation. What you said left off some really important acknowledgement to the people suffering.
-
It was one sentence. You’re being completely absurd.
-
I said “I think x” and you accuse me of saying “I don’t think y”
-
Why did you voice your opinion in the first place?
-
Because I think it’s important to that small setbacks shouldn’t destroy our hope (and the likelihood of) a better future, and I’m watching the reverse happen

Where did I say fear is unjustified? Nowhere. You’re putting words in my mouth.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And don't forget that you're the one that spake the hot take. Nowhere in your statement did you recognize the people truly impacted by these events. For many of them, their lives have never been "fine".
-
I spoke one sentence. You tried to make that one sentence about something completely different. I didn’t say any of the stuff you’re implying give me a break

You said it yourself. For the marginalized, these existential threats are unreconcilable for any long-term gain.pic.twitter.com/uVcQcAdoQk

WTF are you even saying? This is such a bullshit method of communication. I never said anything about how people should feel or act or what they should do today. All I said is that it will get better in the long run.
