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.

    I hope you look back on this, and see how self centred you sound. I’m sorry you’ve had bad experiences, but comparing having rocks thrown at you (this was years ago, even), to the weight of us backed military drones shooting you in your hospital bed isnt helping

    most people on this planet dont even get a vote, and that includes a lot of people in the us. American liberals will blame anything and anyone for their failing before looking in the mirror.

    this post was obviously written by the russian agent who uses my account while I’m sleeping. No one really agrees with me, I’m not even real.

      How self-centered of them to worry about their own life.

      I’m sure you’re going to throw yourself between an IDF soldier and a Palestinian any time now, right?
