he’s deeply and upsettingly afraid of dying,

A little data point on the whole marriage thing… I and my life partner have been together for 20 y, will be 21 in September. We never got married and we don’t have any rings. I keep hearing that a lot of marriages these days don’t last this long.

We do informally call each other “my wife”, but still, no formal marriage was ever done.

I live in USA as a non-citizen permanent resident. I cannot vote, hence I only watched that election from the sidelines. My personal theory is that the reason why Trump won over Harris in 2024 is because a large number of people wanted accountability and justice over crimes against humanity that happened under Biden, and which Harris seemed to fully support. But here we are, a year and a half into Trump 2.0, and yet absolutely nothing was done on that issue, while the orange man made life hell for those who live in post-sex-change bodies (I happen to be one), made the economy even worse, and started a new war of choice.

Now bring on the downvotes…
