So, you really have nothing to retort…

Tell me: Is it better or worse, that the US is not longer doing imperialism as hard in their homes?

Who is absolving Trump of anything?

Fixed that for you.

Did you, though, or just try to lie?

I mean, were Palestinians being genocided in Israel for… most of Biden’s presidency? And didn’t Harris say she fully supported Biden’s policies?

Indigenous people? They are laughing at us right now, because us white people are freaking out about stuff that’s been happening to them since white people showed up here.

Union workers? Come on, it’s not illegal for rail workers to strike in the US, thanks to Biden, who Harris, once again, said, she fully supported his policies.

Good for homeless people, as in creating more homeless people every year? Houselessness was spiking under Biden, and still is…

If Kamala Harris had won, literally all the groups you just mentioned would be far better off than under a literal fascist dictatorship which Trump’s lackeys want to establish.

How so, specifically?

Honestly? I’m starting to believe lemmy is, like reddit, filled with a bunch of clueless college kids who haven’t set foot in other parts of the world and have no idea what it’s like to live under a dictatorship, and thus take the rights and freedoms they have completely for granted.

I’m starting to think you believe the rest of the world is ok with how we treat our citizens, and do the same…

Worse for non cis people

How so, specifically, that wasn’t happening prior?

worse for women

Same. How so, specifically?

worse for education

Public education, to put in the words of Lupe Fiasco:

“Your child’s future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut The school was garbage in the first place, that’s on the up and up”

Brown people in the US have always gotten the shit end of the stick, with public education.

worse for immigrants

What if I told you that Biden was deporting people at a faster rate than Trump is?

worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president

Like, which countries? Palestine was being genocided before Trump was elected. And we’ve been raping under developed nations for a long time. Frankly, a lot of those nations are getting a break now, with Trump’s focus on turning the imperialism inwards.

It seems like it’s mostly getting worse for white, cishet people. Queer people were already under attack, and being lynched. We’ve been hammering on immigrants for like… 30 or so years now. etc etc.

My what? Are you a child?

Your beloved liberal republic here, the one that loves to genocide people, loves to be racist, loves to put dollars over humans, and loves to start wars to topple democratic societies abroad.

The reason it’s not worse for my neighbors, is because they were already under attack by your beloved liberal republic, and have been for centuries.

Worse for whom?

Things haven’t changed a bit for my indigenous neighbors. They are being fucked over just as hard now, as before…

My black neighbors have noticed just as much now as before, cops still abusing their community and their still being ignored economically.

So, worse for white people? Sure.

Every single one of those elections, the Dems chanting “us or fascism!!”

It’s kinda like the gun safety debate: we can not discuss it within 72 hrs of a mass shooting.

After 72 hrs, nobody wants to talk about it, or we have another one.

When will the Dems actually oppose fascism, instead of saying they want to?

Additionally, who is that “boring liberal republic” better for? Certainly not Palestinians. Certainly not for union workers on our rail lines. Not for people becoming houseless. Not for queer people. Not for indigenous peeps, either…

So, just for white, straight people, so we need to keep supporting it?

I was l33t, and signed up with Prodigy!

It did not, and it had the nickname AOLosers for people using the service.

Except, to buy it out, he has to first pay the creditors for the value, because he used that as collateral to buy Twitter.

They never do.

So, just like Twitter, then? When the official servers don’t show whatever the government tells them not to show?

That’s not how it works, though? But alas… our white house isn’t filled with our best, but rapists and criminals.

Email is federated, it’s just not really a medium people want to limit to 500 chars…

Nothing at all stopping you from writing a client that only allows 500 char messages in and out.

Someone even built a chat system that used email under the hood.

“My ENTERPRISE runs on WhatsAppp/SquareTeams/Discord/Slack” etc etc…

Of course that works until that “enterpise” needs to send invoices, and get invoices.

Victims are afraid to seek help in the US, because “the help” usually re-victimizes them, and protects the perpetrator.

It’s not because of me stating as much…

How does one get “tricked” into meeting a child for sex, and then show up?

I’ve never been tricked into meeting a child for a sexual encounter…

Cops are well known to be rapists, ignore rapists, and even protect rapists. Not to mention the rampant domestic violence they engage in.

Why would you assume cops have any interests in punishing their cohort?

Why would you expect rapists to punish rapists?
