      still an objective good.

      if there is ever the need for, the will to call, the ability to pursue… human rights commission hearings in the future against this grotesque parady of a political party, I want as much evidence of premeditation available as possible.

      PThis kind of stuff still needs to be enumerated. There are tons of people on Lemmy (mostly the usual trolls) who will show up in every thread and do the “both sides” song and dance. Unfortunately, a nontrivial number of people actually buy into this messaging. Counter programming is a necessary evil, which is something conservatives and foreign actors have figured out, but liberals and progressives are still stubborn about.

    Well, MAGA is aching to send members of the LGBTQ community to concentration camps so this is a little bit of an understatement.

    I’m the parent of two LGBTQ+ kids. I’m trying very hard not to be scared out of my mind about a second Trump term.

      I am going to have a difficult talk with one of my kids. they already understand whats happening, but avoiding uncalled for dangerous situations… thats what we need to work on. “the talk” is smashing social and economic boundaries like a whirlwind.

    I always thought this was a given. Like- who in their right mind would think otherwise?

    Also… Note the absence of the usual suspects here? Wonder why they never have anything to say on posts like this.

      A charitable reading says that you should still research and verify the things that are “a given”. I mean, YOU know it, I know it, we all know it here… But at least now we have an official report to point to when people try to downplay it?

      Ah, who am I kidding? They wouldn’t care anyway

      I just recently spoke with someone who had 1. Not heard of project 2025 and 2. Tried to convince me that “Donald Trump is the first president to support gay marriage”

      The thing you need to remember is, think of how dumb the average U.S. citizen is. Now realize half of them – over 170 million people – are even dumber than that.

      See the problem?

    Considering Trump wants to define trans people out of existence and make our care illegal, outlaw gay marriage, and classify any queer person in public as a sex offender and put them in prison, yeah I’d think queer people are better under biden than they would be under trump.

        not a “tankie” here. supporting virtually any Democratic nominee up and down the ballot… and I still want the investigation, impeachment and removal of biden if appropriate. being human demands it and demanding accountability from your government requires it.
