Quote:but as americans we're conditioned to think of foreign affairs & our hands in those atrocities as lesser than when fascism is brought home (infinitely moreso for palestinian life), so you're unfortunately going to get piled on for this truth
How is this just an US thing? Normal people will be concerned for their own immediate affairs rather than the others, specially if the others live in another fucking continent.

And to be honest- that post ignores that a lot of people DIDN'T survive Trump's first presidency, whether that be from suicide, COVID, or homicide from one of Trump's deranged followers. Quote:Quote:If Trump does win, I'm illegally fleeing to Canada or Ireland and hope that my family isn't deported back to the U.S.
Canada is apparently also about to go Nazi, and Trump's people have stated their intentions to declare war on Mexico. Few places to run to on this continent.
Quote:I'm honestly terrified. I'm white and male so obviously that gives me some protection in Trump's America. But I have two young daughters, my wife had an abortion (fetus didn't have a fully formed heart), and I work for the public school system so I would definitely be up against the wall.

ClickyCal has become the most insufferable member on that forum, it’s not even close anymore. They post so much too, over 50k posts.
Just one time, just once, one little post, I’d love for someone to mention:
Over the past 5 years an average of 25-30 trans people have been murdered in the U.S. And in the UK, Joanne’s Genocide Central (JGC), there’s been 4 or 5 trans murders total over the past 5 years. All verifiable facts from actual pro-trans organizations.
Just that one post, that’s it.

35 people in two countries?! Even just ONE murder means genocide!
The fact that these trans lesbian incels are trying to equate that with what’s happened in Palestine is honestly sickening.

I got a feeling IrishNinja is about to be hit with a ban for dismissing trans concerns.

If it comes down to this, idk what to really even say then. Like we are the point of fighting for individual genocides then I guess.
Actual Palestinians are dying. Trans folks being told to shut the fuck up isn't a genocide.
These are not equal. 
what does this even mean, you'll "be done"
what's going to happen, realistically
has trump even been saying a single word about trans things in all his weird speeches
also is it even likely that he'll also have both the senate and house and be able to accomplish anything

Yeah, I love how their genocide fantasies are always about groups like trans people or apparently guys married to women who had abortions. No mention of the necessary first step: the violent crushing of the hundreds of millions of people in political opposition. Like all of us are going to survive that part to even see the white guy with daughters genocide.
January 20, 2025 in their heads:
"I'm dictator now, get genociding." -
"Yes, sir, whatever you say." - everybody of every political view.

Don't worry. If Trump wins BLM 2.0 will start right up. He won't have time to genocide trans folx.

PoliEra needs to realize they can't win vs EtcetEra.
Why do they always talk like they each have the power of deciding the election? It's so weird and cult like to me. Yeah, Melody Shreds is really going to decide the election when they forget to vote after streaming Armored Core for 16 straight hours. Next thing you know the whole planet is crushed under international fascism. (Which is a completely incoherent concept.)

Didn't the Dems help fund Trump Republicans because they thought they would be easier to beat in state elections? So.. does that mean the Democrats are helping Project 2025?

Fucking BASED. #TeamPuroresu_kid
I'm looking at this shit, something I did before when it first got attention, and I still can't find the scary Trump specific dictator part anywhere. It still just looks like a standard Heritage document listing all the stuff they've complained about for 40 years. Am I making the mistake of looking at the actual document? That can often be a problem.
Is Project 2025 just scarier sounding that Agenda47?
It seems like the entire thing traces to disinformation?
Quote:Citing an anonymous source, The Washington Post reported Project 2025 includes immediately invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the DOJ to pursue Trump adversaries.
...
The plan also reportedly includes directing the DOJ to pursue those Trump considers disloyal or political adversaries. After the Post story was published online, a Heritage spokesman said there were no plans related to the Insurrection Act or targeting of political enemies within Project 2025.
And this is true. That's not in it.

Trump will never be punished. Dude will be living his best life no matter what happens. The most vulnerable people here in the US are the ones that will be punished.
I Don't Like wrote:Glad people voted uncommitted to send a message. The doubling-down of sending money to and defending Israel during a genocide is such a big-D Democratic move. This party is fucking clueless and if Biden loses because he and the bozos around him thought it was a better idea to avoid pissing off US Zionists while shedding young voters and losing Arab-American communities in crucial states like Michigan, it's on them.
If you're so bad at this you, as an incumbent, can't beat a fake-tanning, incompetent, corrupt, brain-dead rapist who already had 4 years and was demonstrably horrible, it's on you and your people. Sure, American voters are deeply incurious, intellectually dishonest, politically incoherent and by-and-large either center-right or right-wing but to lose to that - that's fucking pathetic.
