    People who refused to vote and are now complaining about either the Democrats or about Trump doing what he said he’d do are similar to people who voted for Trump and are now complaining about Trump doing what he said he’d do. Like what did you expect? And thanks for letting me as a trans person get erased from existence, by the way.

      Is this one of those, “As a black man,…” type things. I have no idea about how I’m letting a trans person get erased, let alone you.

      I am not part of the LGBT+ community and I’m not an immigrant. That’s the thing though, everyone is going through some shit right now. You’re not alone in that. Unless you’re part of the top 10% in America right now, you’re going through some shit.

        I’ve mentioned in previous comments that I’m trans. The regime is specifically targeting trans people by reverting our passports, erasing us from government websites, defying court orders to move trans women to men’s prisons, making it legal to surveil us, etc.

        None of this would have happened if Harris was president. I agree that a lot of Democrats fucking suck, but trans people wouldn’t be freaking out trying to figure out how to survive if Harris had won. Everyone is going through shit, but we’re going through more. Republicans’ endgame is to have us either in the closet or dead. They’re probably getting away with disappearing Mahmoud Khalil and if they do they’re probably gonna go for trans organizers at some point.

        Biden being president gave us four years to breathe. Harris would have given us another four years. I think the country would have had a complete fascist takeover in the next fifteen or twenty years regardless, but we could have at least given ourselves more time to prepare.

          If Harris had won, we would all be in a better place. Even the shithead republicans would be. The only ones winning here right now are the billionaires. What the billionaires haven’t caught onto is, if they don’t bow before trump in every way, they’ll be sent to Guantanamo Bay along with the immigrants and dissidents.

          I really don’t want what’s happening to you to be happening. I also don’t want American citizens, soon to be American citizens or immigrants trying to flee a shitty life being treated like they’re being treated. Our civil rights, voting rights, social security, etc., are all being stripped. The people in the lower 70% that aren’t freaking out, don’t know yet. We’re all in trouble here.
