...dude you're writing off a genocide against me with "some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make" shit
You are actively advocating for people to be complicit in not preventing another genocide.
Has it happened? Are trans actively being bombed in their hospital beds? Are they being piled in the streets and run over with bulldozers, dead and alive?
To claim that trans are the victims of genocide is disingenuous and minimizes the experience of the people currently experiencing genocide.
I am not discounting the potential threat against trans in america, but Palestinians are being shot, burned, and bombed right now. Entire families, gone.
If the highly publicized project 2025 and constant rhetoric is all you're going off of, you're not paying close enough attention. The right is propping up a dementia patient like it's Weekend At Bernie's, and they're doing well.
Trump is backed by some of the world's richest people, and a super power that is known for propaganda and disinformation. If you can't tell which way the pendulum is swinging, it's not my intelligence that should be called into question.
The right learned from their mistakes when they tried to rig the last election, and they've been putting in the work. I don't know if it's naïvitè or arrogance to believe that you putting a check in a blue box is going to stop the storm that is coming. If you're waiting for November to see if you're going to be safe, you are well behind the curve.
All that bad stuff you mentioned is going to happen, they've stacked the deck and they're counting cards. This democracy is already done, you just don't see it yet.
At the end of the day, all you have control over is what you support, and apparently you're cool with supporting genocide. I'd like to be able to live with myself and not support an ethnic purge. You're going to come up with all these reasons why you're fine with selling Palestinians up the river, and still lose.
It's all good, I'd rather be a clown than rely on ad hominem to shore up the ridiculous position of defending genocide.
