Not looking to start a debate, and as an anarchist I’ve come to a pretty solid conclusion that election isn’t going to fix anything, but I also see the point that Trump and his supporters are more extreme fascists than the obvious fascist currently in office.

But it’s not like we have time to deal with incremental change like the liberals think. Our planet is dying, people are being killed, tortured, imprisoned, and displaced by our current leadership and system. So how can I validate that?

I’d love to hear some thoughts because I honestly don’t know what to do.

Keep in mind I’ve had family deported under Biden who continues to double down on his support for border fascism and his dissemination of the myth of a “border crisis.” Keep in mind that people may have friends and loved ones who’ve died or been displaced in Palestine due to Biden’s support for the genocidal state of Israel.

And please avoid telling me that Trump is un-American or that he wants to destroy America, because that honestly sounds like you’re heaping praise on him.

I’d like to know how/if you think I should vote, but also what more urgent action we can take because we’re not going to make it at this rate, no matter which rich white dude ends up in office.

This thread is open to share your perspective. Just don’t be an asshole, please.

    Thank you for sharing your perspective. I’m tending to agree. It seems pretty hopeless to convince people they’ve been had when the majority believe the state propaganda. I too have considered the idea of starting a community with others and trying to save as many people as we can, but I feel like we’d have to relocate, which would require resources I lack.
