Trump winning supports the genocide of every LGBTQ+ person in all of North America, be it directly or indirectly. No one wants what is happening in Gaza. But, I have to say the potential genocide (in the sense of complete erasure of culture as well as open murders with little to no consequences sense) here is even higher.

I have the unfortunate circumstance of being a trans woman in GA. I already have had to completely shut off most contact with people, both work and personal.

I’ve already had rocks thrown at me in an attempt to kill me (this was years ago, even). I already feel like I have to carry a gun. If things go the way they seem, I will even have to order in groceries because it will further empower the people that hate my existence.

The foreign policy is shit, no question. However, I don’t like the possibility of being raped and murdered by some asshole that thinks he understands Co² emissions after watching some video.

I have a lot to say here, especially as a very blue collar machinist. I will refrain, though.

In conclusion: by “avoiding” the genocide in Gaza (which would have in my opinion had a much higher chance of being resolved with Democratic policies), you have also doomed people like me to maybe live in fear for the rest of our lives.

    this meme implies that lives of americans has more worth than lives of gazans. your rage is justified but outlawing essential healthcare for lgbtq+ is not the same as a hostile military force genociding and ethnically cleansing you. bad meme all around.

      They don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect them. Did you ever see dem voters wish death to biden or obama. They are brain washed into thinking lesser evil is better. Evil is evil no matter what. Trump 4 years and then maybe dem another 4 years and the cycle repeats.

        Yes, we all know that enabling TWO genocides is much better. That must be what you think, considering that’s the direct result of your stance. The situation in Gaza was never going to change, but as for what COULD change, by fucking god, you sure made it change. It’s thanks to virtue signalers like you that we now have foreign genocide with a side of domestic trans-hunting.

          You’re looking for someone to blame for Trump winning and decided to blame the wrong people because you’re angry and need an easier target. Not the 70 million Americans who voted for Trump eh? Not the Harris campaign staff who refused to let Palestinians endorse Harris at the DNC and were trying to get their community to join them?

          No, blame other victims because only your suffering counts. We’re ALL suffering.

            That’s you one post ago. Looks like someone was projecting.

            Lets clarify your stance here. Dems are brainwashed and don’t care about Gaza because it doesn’t affect them… but you don’t care about what happens to Americans because it doesn’t affect you… 🤔
            You’re taking a stance against genocide in Gaza… but that same stance indirectly extends the genocide… 🤔

            And that’s not to mention the longer term affects caused by Trump’s stance on things like fossil fuels and climate change.

              It was a statement and yours was crying, tone defines how people take it. Dk what you mean by projecting cause I’m neither in America nor Palestine.

              No. My stance is most Americans are brain washed into thinking they have to vote for capitalism.

              What happened to Americans? Were all american lgbt people exiled in 2016?

              What stance did I take that increases the genocide? Are libs so brainwashed, that they can’t comprehend anything except voting any one of the two? I’m no American, i don’t vote there.

              You think dems get their funds from forests or alaskan mountains? Saying we are better than them doesn’t mean dems implement any laws to better the climate. Can you reference any climate change policies biden govt implemented that may reap benifits?

              All I’m saying people should unite to end this stupid capitalist capitalist world.

                It’s called accusing, as in calling you out for your blatant hypocrisy.

                Dk what you mean by projecting cause I’m neither in America nor Palestine.

                Surely you can’t be this dense? You can’t actually believe that’s what I meant, can you? That’s plainly stupid. You’re projecting because you show the exact lack of empathy you accuse others of.

                Were all american lgbt people exiled in 2016?

                Were there bounties on trans people prior to 2016? Were there blanket bans on abortion? Were there calls to bring back fucking asbestos? It’s called escalation.

                What stance did I take that increases the genocide?

                The same one that drove 20 million more people to abstain from voting than four years ago, leading to Trump’s win.

                Are libs so brainwashed, that they can’t comprehend anything except voting any one of the two?

                Don’t comment on things that you’re this clueless about.

                Can you reference any climate change policies biden govt implemented that may reap benifits?

                Nope, but you know what I can reference? Trump policies that had detrimental effects on the clime, such as withdrawing from the Paris agreement. Didn’t see that kind of shit under Biden.

                All I’m saying people should unite to end this stupid capitalist capitalist world.

                “All I’m saying is that the half of the US that gives a shit should stand up against both the other half and the government itself!” It’s not 1793, we can’t just behead our leader and start fresh. Besides, you sure as shit said a lot more than just that.

                    My favorite part is the part where you just ignore everything I say and then pretend you have some kind of high ground. Asked, answered and proven irrelevant already. I don’t negotiate with clowns.
