The people that are currently protesting the Gaza genocide will continue to protest no matter who is in office.

Absolutely, but Trump will spend more time demonizing them as antisemitic terrorist supporters. He's always been rabidly zionist and has always loved using leftist grassroots movements as a bogeyman, he's not gonna pass that opportunity up. Idk if that would translate into more actual repression against them, but islamophobia dressed up as fighting terrorism traditionally has a lot of traction in the US, and i do not see the Dems pushing back against that even if they would control both houses after the midterms, genocide support is a bipartisan issue after all and they will falter when Trump links the Dems to the protests like he did with BLM. It's also possible that Trump lays the ideological groundwork for more effective anti-left policies under a Dem presidency from 2028-2032. He's good at normalizing atrocities, and the Dems have shown to be eager to then implement that (see also: deportations and the Dems bragging about how they actually built the wall that Trump promised). There can absolutely be a ratchet effect in this regard.

I could also see Trump being more supportive of the genocide itself. More bombs, more open endorsement, more troops on the ground. Biden has already sent missile defense crews there, i think this still has potential for escalation, as hard as that is to imagine for many people here.

Mind you, i'm not doing a lesser evilism here, it's the morally correct choice not to pick between hand-wringing and enthusiastic genocide, but to treat this as a line that can't be crossed either way. But it's absolutely possible that things will get worse in this regard under Trump.

Even that guy somehow manages to look more menacing than katana and trenchcoat Ben Shapiro.

Nobody can convince me this person wasn't created in a lab by Big Egg.

In a real life TTRPG, a character with low skills in everything is probably more fun than some god character with perfect 20s. It makes for interesting stories.

Ah, another good opportunity to shill Thirsty Sword Lesbians because it allows you to advance the story by failure and because failing checks is actually a way to gain XP. Also, all characters are thirsty sword lesbians.

I have the exact same feeling with liberal cishets talking about gay and trans people and liberal men talking about women, there's just something fundamentally dehumanizing in how they view marginalized people. They're playing a game of political football with us, and we're not on their team, we're the ball.

hexbear emojis clearly show you can only push him to the right:

I already did that in my 20s and i still don't have a Rickenbacker bass.

Same, but Verblendungszusammenhang is such a neat word, and unlike all the other German words were people pretend they have no euqivalent in English, that one actually is almost untranslateable.

Average chud shit, probably can't handle that you said "person" or that you didn't use a slur

@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net is obviously the hexbear shaman.

Again I have personally not once defended the use of the term

You're straight-up lying, kiddo.
