Ya get what ya vote for.
DC voted 90%+ for Harris. There’s almost no chance he voted for this.

Sorry, it's been ten years of this. I'm kinda done with giving nuance to Americans.

Harsh? Maybe, but when even the Democrats are caving in to Trump's demands for fuck all reason, I'm just done caring about what the thoughts of people down South are.

Literally been told by "left-wing" Americans that my thoughts and opinions on their politics don't matter even with the bullshit going on, and all I can think of is how I as someone over the border wouldn't have to fucking care if they treated this guy like the fucking threat they supposedly see him as rather than do nothing more than tell people to vote as if that's some big fucking accomplishment.

If getting out to vote is supposedly all that people could have done against this and nothing else (their words and actions, not mine), then yeah, ya get what ya vote for.

Now imagine how much worse it is actually being here and being one of the targeted groups.
Like someone who’s home is under threat of annexation?
Yeah dude that’s probably worse than being forcibly detransitioned and sent to a camp in Guantanamo or El Salvador.
That stuff isn’t happening here (yet) because we’re fighting in ways that you refused to for the last decade. Even then, that fight involves sacrificing our economy which will cause all forty million of us to suffer and possibly facing outright military invasion. Apparently that’s worth belittling us for. Fuck you.

If you’ve ever wondered how you’d treat a trans person living in an oppressive dictatorship, now you know.

Honestly cannot emphasize enough how deranged it is to say that “hey, living under this is worse than living next to it” is somehow belittling you.

Edit: also, the hilarity of doing this in a community with a giant rainbow banner in the sidebar isn’t lost on me.

I know how I’d treat an asshole.
If flinging abuse at me makes you feel like you have more control over the situation, go for it. You think this is scary? Your passport isn’t even at risk. Get a reality check on who is actually being fucked by this regime.
My passport is certainly at risk if my country gets annexed. The entire world is getting fucked by this regime, but unlike you we didn’t get the chance to vote on it.
