i understand your hesitation and i commend your approach to others' sensibilities. however, i wouldn't consider "why are many americans racist" to be racist, because American isn't a race. it is a nationality. but even without that, you are specifying within the group and also excluding. you aren't calling all Americans racist, you are asking why there are a lot of racist Americans. truly, that is a fair question of any people. if your culture is racist.. why?

forgive my ignorance, but it seems you are asking why Americans are racist but explaining it in a way where you think it means something else, like you're talking about a unique kind of racism more common with Americans. genetic superiority is not more common of an idea here than anywhere else. the people who see white and black as you put it, "two different species," are ultimately how all racists see the world. they might not be equally as violent or aggressive or outwardly hateful, but they would never consider themselves like one of them. maybe i'm not following you and what you're asking lol, sorry if so.

thanks for the info, you're right. well, that's a bit of a relief for me then. still not great lol.. just means the disease isn't an international disaster impacting several communities. i hope our vaccines against it continue to be successful.

we are still in a pandemic so though, perhaps not “raging.” maybe that’s too alarmist. i’ll pull back on that, but.. it is still at levels indicative of a pandemic last i was aware.

i can list a bunch of bad COVID related decisions he made, sure. one of the worst imo is overseeing the CDC as it told Americans to get back to work earlier and reporting was no longer necessary, all during the pandemic ~~still raging like it currently is.~~

edit: it is endemic now, not a pandemic

genocide doesn't have to be a violent extermination. you can take away resources until they die or, hey, kill themselves! nobody to blame, nobody to care. it'll keep happening until numbers are significantly reduced with other attacks on LGBT livelihood. this isn't just Trump being a fucking asshole; this is a fascist wanting us gone.

stop saying this stupid shit about third parties. you could argue the same point for Conservatives who didn’t vote Trump. also which is it—are leftists so numerous they are a problem and ruin everything or are we small and useless and unimportant?

i feel bad for everyone truly trapped in Arkansas but it is hard to give a shit when the majority are terrible people

oh you can’t? and what is anyone gonna do about it?

of course they can. gender affirmation is for anyone who feels the desire to achieve their gender presentation. if you have a gender you are attached to and want to represent then doing anything to get to that goal is your right whether you're trans or cis.

this is such a fucking waste of time and is nothing more than pandering bullshit. we don't want you to try to pass something that WON'T PASS and WON'T STOP FASCISM. please do something more. please do something that fucking matters.
