  • 100%, and it’s what makes me even more incensed that centrists are trying to point the blame at the tiny, miniscule leftist portion of the country that voted third party or sat out.

    Even in the absolute best case scenario, Harris was going to have a contested election. She was never winning in a landslide, and Trump had already laid the foundation to contest the election. The currently corrupt Supreme Court was going to hand Trump the presidency 6-3 come hell or high water, the election just wasn’t ever going to matter.

    Yeah, it’s annoying that we just gave the country to Trump, but nobody was ever going to fight for it. This fall to fascism was started decades ago. We’re just seeing the end result.




  • The sad truth is that the Democrats were never your friend. They treated your existence as political capital, and betrayed you the second it was inconvenient for them. They are cowards of the highest order who’ve only ever had the goal of enriching themselves. To some of us, this has been true for awhile, but this was really the election where everyone’s taken their mask off.

    I would seriously, very strongly urge you to get out of the country while you still can. There is no sugarcoating it; things are going to get bad in the U.S. Even if you aren’t subject to government violence, Trump blackshirts just got released back onto the street and have been emboldened by this victory. Hate crimes will rise, just as they rose dramatically during the first Trump term. There will be camps, first used on immigrants but there’s no telling when they’ll stop. Do whatever it takes to leave. Your survival is more important than any unjust laws.

    I can’t promise the grass will be that much greener when you leave; fascism is rising across the globe and trans people are an unfortunately easy marginalized community to otherize and attack. At the very least, you might have a chance to stop it taking root somewhere else.
