      Telling someone that injustices they experience today are okay because long term they probably won't experience them is an awful take. Today is all many people have.

      I’m not saying everything is perfect. I’m responding to the people saying x is an existential threat that will break democracy and it’s all over.

      I’ll go one step further: I’d bet good money that 10 years from now will be better for every marginalized group than 10 years ago was

      Again. that's an easy posit. You're "in." Tell that to someone who wakes up afraid everyday, simply because their existence is a threat to this regime.

      I’m not talking about me! Im fine. I’m betting that’s true for the people who aren’t “in.” Just because I’m white/male/heterosexual doesn’t mean it’s impossible for me to be rational or empathize

      You're making a statement that the existential fear of others is justified because it won't always be that way. That's absolutely unempathetic.

      You’re assuming words that I never said. This is Twitter FFS stop trying to imply things I never said, you should know better

      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.

      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
