    american facism is already here; biden and trump are merely two different flavors of it.

      What a ridiculous thing to say. Biden doesn’t have a plan to put all the migrants into concentration camps or to suppress queer people or anything else in Project 2025’s list of goals, which Trump will implement.

      So either you are not aware of Project 2025 and how it will lead to another genocide, possibly more than one, or you only care about one genocide.

        he doesn’t need a plan; he’s currently doubling down on trump’s plan.

        or to suppress queer people or anything else in Project 2025’s list of goals, which Trump will implement.

        biden has advocated for this his entire career and has only made token gestures otherwise to get votes; hyperbolic arguments are moot when you’ve already survived them.

        So either you are not aware of Project 2025 and how it will lead to another genocide, possibly more than one, or you only care about one genocide.

        they don’t have enough time to catch up to biden’s level of enabling genocides before the next election. also most of the other genocides have already been committed so it makes sense to care about the active ones.

          Sorry… most of the genocides have already been committed? Migrants have been rounded up and forcibly deported en masse? Trans people have been forced to go underground? Queer people have been erased from history?

          That’s what you don’t mind happening apparently.

            that biden enabled: yes

            Migrants have been rounded up and forcibly deported en masse?

            biden is doing this right now

            Trans people have been forced to go underground? Queer people have been erased from history?

            biden has advocated doing this for decades and his token gestures have only served to give bigots legal protection for their bigotry.

            That’s what you don’t mind happening apparently.

            that’s why i don’t want to see more by voting for a person with a decades long track record of doing so.

              Biden is doing nothing of the sort and Biden is not doing that to queer people. You’re just lying to provide cover for Trump now.

                the immigration thing is literally in the news right now.

                doing anything negative to queer people would make him lose votes with the democratic base, so he doesn’t; just like he’s done in the past.

                i will not vote for trump

                  Sorry… you’re arguing that doing nothing to hurt queer people because the base doesn’t want him to is fascism now?

                    sexual liberation and identity has fallen in and out of favor in american hegemony before and it will happen again; go ahead and keep moving that goal post.
