Right, so because of this attitude, people in Texas actually can't use period tracking apps, and people in Ohio are being arrested for having miscarriages. This is not a hypothetical. Doctors in Seattle are being subpoenaed by the Texas AG for providing gender affirming care. This didn't come out of nowhere. We have been yelling about these real, non hypothetical risks constantly. And now, if Trump wins, we know he will use the feds to extradite doctors across state lines. They have openly stated that they will use the executive branch to enforce this Christian nationalism. This is not a hypothetical.
If you are fine with that moral liability, then carry on.
As for me? I am a leftist who actually cares about protecting the vulnerable.
Maybe the democrats should stop doing evil shit if they want people to support them. It rules having libs (good cops) roll up to show me all the evil shit their friends (the bad cops) are going to do to us if we don't support them while they unalive every last brown person standing in the way of the settlers.
Also so much of this shit is happening under democrat governments anyways because they're fucking useless at getting anything done or protecting vulnerable people. They're literally cutting a deal on border security to get more weapons to a genocide
Right, it's very clear that you don't take the actual threat of this project 2025 shit seriously, because you are so incredibly privileged that you will allow your ideological purity blind you to the real world. And at the end of the day, you won't actually prevent any brown people from dying, and will likely make the situation far worse.
But that's fine because what you actually want to do is whine, not govern. Because whining is easy.
Maybe the Democrats should stop doing unpopular things like giving unlimited unconditional material and military support to a genocide.
Sounds like they're the ones not taking this threat seriously. The only plan seems to be to scold people who are disgusted by your actions.
Friend, if supporting Trump liberates Gaza I'll sell everything I own and dedicate my life to rebuilding the region with my own frail hands, and I will die happy for being wrong.
If it doesn't, I hope you will dedicate your life to seeking forgiveness at trans funerals for ignoring these alarms.
If we have a deal, perhaps we can agree to disagree and leave it at that.
I'm literally fucking trans, you have some supreme fucking nerve trying to guilt trip me when the primary fucking killer of Palestinian gay and trans people is the ongoing indiscriminate murder from occupation forces.
Democrats are the worst "allies" in human history.
And that won't stop if Trump is elected. The only difference will be that you and I will be up against the wall as well.
Also, Hamas definitely does not tolerate any LGBT lifestyles.
I don't have any confidence I'm not going against the wall under the fucking democrats the way things are already going.
Maybe you guys should stop arming the literal genocide, regardless of what it does for your election prospects.
US progressives are objectively the single most accomplished force for LGBTQ rights in the entire world. WTF are you smoking? If we are really back to to debating objective reality, then I'm back to calling you a troll.
Sincerely disagree. It's because of the horrific shit that the US does with an LGBT flag as the excuse that so many reactionaries and bigots around the world are empowered to persecute LGBT people under the guise of anti-imperialism.
I oppose the pinkwashing of empire.
What the actual fuck. So the US can't ever advance human rights because anti-western reactionaries will use it as reason to persecute LGBTQ communities?
We are done here.
You're the one using a supposed lack of support of LGBT 'rights' as some sort of excuse for collective punishment and genocide. Honestly idk how I managed to avoid throwing up reading some of your posts.
(I view human rights as pretty fucking important, but stop killing people first, fuck)
Yeah, yeah just write off another queer person for expressing wrongthink, go back to your echo chamber and cj about how great and progressive your ally is while they fill the mass graves and put some shitty suburbs over them for white people to live in.
Mask: off
Yeah yours fell off a long time ago, it's been nauseating
