Another fucking lib was lecturing me that the only choice I have is which guy I endorse to commit genocide and I broke down and listed all the shit I've done fighting for a better world my whole fucking life, all the trauma, all the pain, all the horror, all the hard work and sweat and tears and misery and frustration. And they just smugly replied "Oh yeah I'm very political myself I've seen people like you and we just let you pretend to be freedom fighters" and I hate them all so much.

Remember too, most straight Democrats over 50 or 60 (so pretty much all of them in power) spent a good part of their lives thinking gay or trans people to be “icky” or people who it’s ok making jokes about and dehumanize. I mean I was around in the 90s, this wasn’t true for all of them but most Democrat-aligned folks would say pretty awful shit about gay people but then just tack on a “yeah but if they want to love whoever they want to that’s fine I guess”.

Look at Joe Biden. You think that guy, on a personal level, actually gives a shit about LGBTQ people? Do you think in his heart, he is bothered when trans people are denied basic rights? I have a pretty good idea what Biden thinks about trans people inside his own head - and if you could actually type it up and let everyone see it, it would be horrific.

You think that guy is gonna lift a finger to actually help LGBTQ people in the US? That’s literally the only card these libs try to play - that by not voting Biden we are harming LGBTQ folks. But we already have his track record - not just as president, but his senate career. LGBTQ people will not be any more safe in 2028 with Biden as president than Trump.
