    Fucking yikes at the end. Pure privilege.

    It doesn’t take a mystery death camp for folks from marginalized or at risk communities to see increased risks and degradation of their quality of life/safety. Reviewing his judicial appointments alone is enough to clarify that, in a no nonsense/no scare tactic way.

    If he’s president again, that topic alone will continue, and impact the lives of millions in a negative way, for decades to come

    I’m very glad you finally went mask off on your privilege driving your decision-making.

      I’m very glad you finally went mask off on your privilege driving your decision-making.

      I’ve always said I’m not afraid of Trump and that I don’t care about him. My stance on him hasn’t changed at all, so there’s no “mask off” moment happening here. I’m still not voting for him, and I still don’t care if he wins. Plain and simple.

      But I’m not voting for Harris. Neither is half of the country. So is half of the country “yikes and pure privilege”?!

      The only thing I’ve changed my mind about since being on Lemmy is that I will never vote Democrat again. The hate and vitriol I’ve faced here simply for not supporting Harris has guaranteed that. You guys are far more hostile to different opinions than any Republican I’ve encountered. So congratulations, you did change my mind on that! Happy now?

            Not relevant but cool. That’s pretty much all you say.

            You already showed your hand

                That you are comfortable with conservative judicial appointments and the influence and consequences that represents. You said as much by saying you are ok with another trump term, and his judicial appointments are not some myth or fearmonger story, they actually happened and that’s the track record.

                  I’m not voting republican. So not my fault. Half of the country isn’t voting for your candidate. Accept it.

                  I’m not voting Republican or Democrat. So try again.

                    You said you’re ok with another trump term and I highlighted a concrete consequence of that. This isn’t about voting, it’s about what you’re ok with.

                    Edit based on your own words, you are at least neutral, if not accepting of the type of policy and appointments trump makes. That’s the mask off. You said you aren’t afraid, suggesting you are positioned to not be materially impacted by trump, which is the privilege component.

                    I’ve made no comment on anything beyond what you’ve posted, and have not suggested you don’t deserve to vote for whoever you like. Im discussing the content of your comment.
