#2025 election

Yes, you saw what you saw.

Yes, you saw what you saw. Yes, he did what you thought he did. Yes, they aired that with their whole chest.

The next thing they will do is deny that it happened. (you saw wrong, it wasn't what you thought it was, etc) After that they will try to downplay it (it was a joke, he didn't mean it like that, it's a "roman salute," etc) They will try to claim it was the work of AI. (its a deep fake, it's a smear campaign, it's hate speech, etc) They will do everything they can to sweep it aside. Then they will try to bury it. Then they will distract you with meaningless bullshit.

Do not fall for it. Do not believe it. Do not be gaslit.

You saw what you saw. He did what he did. And we need to make sure that we do not forget.

using autism as an excuse for a nazi salute is a horrendous example of this country demonizing minorities to save the asses of the higher class.

Hi so if you see this post on twitter, do not listen, do not retweet it.

I understand people think voting third party will magically solve our problems, but it won't. Mainly because the electoral college is quite literally rigged by Democrats and Republicans against third parties to prevent them from winning. And this mindset that "if just enough people vote third party we'll win!" is one of the major reasons Trump won in the first place.

And I need to you listen, ok? I need you to listen closely.

If Trump wins, we'll lose the entire Democratic party, he'll have personal control over the military to go after anyone who opposes him, including other politicians and protesters. Pornography will be criminalized alongside surrogacy, contraceptives and divorce. KOSA will be implemented and anything even slightly "unchristian" will be censored on the internet. Women will be forced to marry their rapists, immigrates will be forced out of the country, queer people will be massacred, and PoC and disabled people, all of us, will lose our rights.

This. Is. Not. The time. To be gambling. With third parties.

Additionally, Cornel West is only available on ballots in two states, meaning most people can't vote for him. On top of that he supports Russia and wants to disband NATO, praised Reagan, and owes half a million in taxes and child support. He's not going to fix our problems, and with so few states even offering the option to vote for him, he's basically already lost.

Do not vote third party. Do not gamble our future. Biden is our best chance at stopping Trump and Christofacism, just vote for him.

Back in the summer, when plastic surgery was the topic of the day, there was this guy on Facebook who ranted about people who were critical of the industry. He claimed that everyone who stated that he or she was morally opposed to the cosmetic surgery industry and believed it was an inherently predatory industry that preyed on women, and that getting cosmetic surgery was not a healthy thing for women to do (my own positions in fact,) was lying.

He didn't offer any insights into why anyone would lie about common-sense and not unusual positions, but he was sure steamed that people out there in the universe dared to hold them. And the funniest thing about his tantrum, is that he accused those of us who are anti-cosmetic surgery of misogyny. He pretended he was the great defender of women, as he white-knighted for a profession that butchers them and tells them to come back for more.

Whatever the reason for his mental breakdown, it did make me consider something that I'm not sure I had ever thought about before. Liberals doubt your sincerity in a way that conservatives don't. It's liberals that don't believe you care about protecting children, fairness in women's sports, sexual violence, or the predations of the makeup, skincare, and cosmetic surgery industries (or even preferences in media consumption, as I recall.)

However, if you tell conservatives that you're a feminist and hold all of the same positions, they'll believe you. They will enthusiastically make fun of you, but they will not accuse you of being insincere in your deeply-held beliefs. It raises the question of whether this is because they are more sincere in their beliefs than liberals-that perhaps (definitely) the liberal obsession with ideological purity doesn't translate to the formation of a sincerely-held ideology.

I knew by the middle of June that Donald Trump was going to win the election, and these observations were a large part of that.

Project 2025 is seeking to ban abortion by reviving an old anti-obscenity law called the Comstock Act.

The Comstock Act would ban "Every obscene, lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile article, matter, thing, device, or substance".

Not only does that have profound repercussions for women, women's rights, and the autonomy of everyone, but it could ---and very likely will--- be used to persecute anything remotely LGBT-related.

Vote because there are people who can’t. Vote because people from other countries will be affected by the outcome. Vote because your ancestors couldn’t. Vote because people fought for the right to. Vote because people are still fighting to. Vote.

No hate to anyone, if you don't like it, just ignore it or don't read it. Just my opinion on stuff.

I keep seeing this stuff everywhere, so here is my opinion. All politicians are inherently evil, and I love listening to people argue over "Trump VS. Biden" because bro, they're both shit and will ruin America more then the previous politicians already have. Welcome to earth, where we are run by hush money, racism, sexisim, and narcs who think they're better then everyone because they have blind followers and money.
