Trump vows the “largest deportation in American history" of minorities if elected

Which group is undesirable?

That’s not how fascism works. It’s whoever they want whenever they want

First, brown folks

Then? It’s the Muslims, they gotta go—they’re why the economy is bad

Then? Those gays. It’s why your kids are all gay—they gotta go

Then who knows

All while some minority groups in swing states are throwing a tantrum saying they won’t vote for Biden. Ruining us head-first into fascism.

@flexghost yep. Definitely call marginalized peoples' principled objections to being coerced into voting for support of genocide a "tantrum" and blame the people most likely to suffer under fascism for fascism. Great look for you. Way to telegraph your trustworthiness.

@SallyStrange @flexghost

We're currently stuck in a First Past the Post voting system. In the US, that means only a Democrat or a Republican can win. So we have a Right-leaning party, and a full fucking fascist party. If you don't vote for the Right-leaners, you're ceding power to the Fascists.

So bitch about the Democrats when AFTER you have voted against the Fascists. And agitate for RCV or STAR Voting, so we can pull ourselves out of this 2 party fiasco.

But any talk of "Biden doesn't deserve our vote" is just raising chances that Fascists will take office. Sure, yeah, he *doesn't*, but that's not discourse we can afford at this moment.

@atatassault @SallyStrange @flexghost were the same here in the UK, lots of concern about Starmer moving from the leftist to the ever right, I don't like it, but at least its centre right and not Sunsk' full on facism. We also need PR, but we can't let the Tories win again they are dismantling the state and all we stand for and believe in step by step
