@rooster and imagine there are people who say they're your allies but then won't even lift finger to vote against the clearly evil party because they might save a few bucks or because the opposition party is an imperfect lesser of two evils and not voting is their one and only way of protesting this

@dotjayne @rooster for real this one drives me fucking batty. Ppl who truly think both parties are the same. And yet when I ask them if they think the thing they're currently upset about will get better or worse with the other party in power... Suddenly they start sputtering whatever or stop talking.

Both sides are NOT the same.

I've heard people say #Trump or #Biden makes no difference... for #white #men perhaps. On the other hand, Trump 2.0 will rain down hell on #immigrants, particularly #Muslims and #Latinos. Trump brags about #MassDeportations. Remember the #ICE raids? Many more #POC will be swept up in the next one. It's already hell for #women of #childbearing years in half the states. Trump 2.0 will make it nationwide. You already see what is happening to #lgbtq people in red states. Trump 2.0 will take #lgbtq persecution nationwide.

In addition to #StateViolence, #authoritarians establish a #PermissionStructure of #violence against disfavored groups. During the last Trump administration, #MassShootings of minorities and synagogues was rampant. I'm voting for #Biden2024 not because I'm a fan, but because I am thinking of all the people Trump will hurt in the US. #Voting one's #conscience in the #2024Election is a choice between a soiled conscience or a dead one.
