    Are you ok with a man who has no problem calling for a genocide of his own right here in the US as well as hunting down and killing/hauling people for disagreeing with him? What real alternative is there right now in 2024?

    The Democrats have proven time and time again that they won’t lift a fucking finger to protect anyone, even those they claim to support, from violence. They’ll tut and wag their finger, but will never actually step in to protect trans rights, for instance. They won’t when they’re in power, and they won’t when they’re not. Roe v Wade was broken up under a Democratic president. Vicious anti-queer laws were passed country wide under a Democratic president. The Democrats didn’t do shit

    “Oh but the President’s power is limited”, “oh but those are state level affairs”, “oh but-” shut the fuck up. Either the office of the president is powerful enough for the threats you talk about to be credible, or it’s weak enough that a president can’t stop those threats. You get to choose one, not both. And frankly, any fucking country where the President doesn’t have an ability or will to bring the provinces/states of that country to heel is a failed country

    If the Democrats gave half a shit, they’d be fighting tooth and nail for trans rights across the country. They would use every legal method, every grey area, they would drag the Republican state senators into the oval office and threaten to CIA coup their ass if they don’t knock it off. If trans rights or a genocide of some group in the US is such an important matter, then I don’t give a fuck what methods are used to protect from that, whether George Washington would have nodded his approval, or if its written in an ancient document
