#protest project 2025

Paint it Blue: Counter Culture, Politics, Human Rights, and 4B.

As each day passes I am reminded how heavily my fellow Americans were hit when Trump -- unfortunately -- won the presidency. And as these days passed I began to do what I always do: Overthink and Strategize.

In the end I figured out what I personally view as the only way forward using what I have observed from the reactions from others and combining them to make a heavy consistent shove towards progress if and only if we keep this flame alive.

But to start this we need to start with a few definitions and go from there. If you wish to find a way to fight back, you need to commit to this 200% and do NOT yield. I don't care how red your state is. Fight and don't stop fighting.

Some of us can commit more than others in different ways but once you pick a path you are going to have to keep it up until the town/city/village you're in is painted blue and STAYS blue.

For the first definition we take a look at:

Protest Art:

Protest Art is a form of protest and saying “no” in an extremely different way. Specifically expressing it through an art form.

Majority of the time it is through painting.

If you've made paintings in protest against Israel’s attacks towards Palestine, you've made Protest Art. Through Protest Art one can express discontent without committing violence.

If you want to know more, check out this video: https://youtu.be/1_iqS_disW0?feature=shared

However we need to remember that Protest Art is different from Propaganda Art.

Propaganda Art:

Propaganda Art is exactly what it sounds like. Propaganda that is fed to the masses to get them in line to the ideals of the government and even war sentiments. We can even see this in real time through how the Republican Party uses AI Image Generators to create pro-MAGA images.

If you want a historic look at Propaganda Art, this poster shop has a LOT of them: https://vintagraph.com/collections/propaganda-posters

My personal favorites are the classic Rosie Riveter and Jenny on the Job. They're just classic propaganda styles.

However Propaganda can have SINISTER consequences, such as seen in this video: https://youtu.be/ip4dYcUDGFE?si=3qPKv_QP9pDNVEB-

Racist Propaganda caused increased racism, lynching, beatings and brutality. Eventually it led to the NEAR MURDER of a 13 year old child for the murder of two white people who were actually murdered by their own family member. She was supposed to spend the rest of her life in a prison.

Enka:

Enka is a genre of music from Japan that came around during the silencing of political speeches and protests. As a way to get around this politicians and protestors created a somber new genre to fight for a new wave of progress.

To give you an example here is an excerpt from Enka Music: From Political Protest to Cultural Tradition – on Unseen-Japan:

1868 saw witness to the overthrow of the shogunate and the establishment of the Meiji government. Yet despite its modern undertones, the new government was still led by powerful samurai from the Satsuma and Choshu domains. Not even five years after the Meiji Restoration, whispers of unrest eventually culminated in the formation of the Freedom and Civil Rights Movement (自由民権運動; Jiyū minken undō), or Jiyūto for short (自由党).

Spearheaded by disgruntled farmers, factory workers, and urban intellectuals, the movement demanded a more democratic approach to how the government was run. Their list of demands included a reduction in land taxes, an amendment to the numerous Unequal Treaties (不平等条; Fubyōdō jō) brooked between Japan and various Western countries, institution of a national assembly, and a constitution that protected basic civil rights.

At the time, the Meiji government had banned dissident speeches and protests about the new regime. So the Jiyuto had to get creative in order to make their voices heard. Rather than use force, they found a roundabout way to make political speeches without breaking the ban: singing.

Enter Soeda Azenbo (添田唖蝉坊). Rising from the depths of day laborer life to become one of the most well-known ballad composers, he wrote songs about the government and society couched in satire and humor. These political activist songs merited their own sub-genre: soshi enka (壮士演歌). His memoir A Life Adrift (流生記; Ryusei-ki) remains one of the most thorough and insightful accounts of life for a prewar enka singer.

If you want a brief explanation of Enka, it is touched upon briefly here by Gaijin Goomba in his video about Marie from Splatoon: https://youtu.be/PE6sJLHLXFw?si=t7bVBm3bBH7PATsn

4B:

"Bi" is a shorthand for the word "no" in Korean  (Korean: 비; Hanja: 非) and there are 4 “nos” that this particular movement in Korea, and these now are:

No sex with men. (Korean: 비섹스; RR: bisekseu)

No giving birth. (비출산; bichulsan)

No dating men. (비연애; biyeonae)

No marriage with men. (비혼; bihon)

This particular feminist movement is a way to take control of one's own body. And this movement has started to be adopted by American women, some even calling it the “Boy Sober” movement. This has become extremely popular in the West due to women seeing that their husbands/boyfriends had voted for Trump. They had enough of the sexism and decided that they must resort to extreme measures and be done with men altogether.

Women have realized that it's impossible to change men's minds by simply talking things out or showing them data or even showing how much danger women are in when it comes to being around men in general. Men have shown that they have no morals when it comes to how to treat women – men even going as far as telling every woman they come across “Your body, my choice!” which is just a clear rape threat.

The popularity of 4B is only rising and men are trying to pretend that it isn't freaking them out, but it clearly is. Men have yet to realize that they are becoming less and less desirable the further they go down with their bullshit.

Romanticism Writing:

Romanticism was a political era of writing. Think of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Many of them have written against child labor such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem “The Cry of the Children”. Romanticism was focused on nature, liberty, and individualism. It may sound rather nonsensical but these writings have become pieces of history that cannot be erased and were inspirational to many during their time.

Okay so now that we got all of this out of the way. Let's get to the plan itself.

If you were able to pick it up while reading you might be thinking I am fucking crazy and maybe I am, but let's face the facts, Republicans and centrists and Non-Voters are all extremely Low Information. When they vote they vote without either doing their research or learning anything from their previous vote. They tend to believe whatever they read on Facebook or Twitter, or will go based on vibes and vibes alone. Or they will just believe whatever celebrity they follow (Andrew Tate, Fresh and Fit, Joe Rogan, etc.) and will leave it at that.

Those who aren't online like that they will only follow things IRL. Talk with friends and family, maybe fuck around on Facebook and that's it. They will not interact with politics outside of Voting Season and even then they will not look up anything. They will believe whatever propaganda happens to be on the billboard not too far from their local Walmart.

So what am I proposing? We are going to have to pull out the chalk, spray paint, printers, tape, and more.

We are gonna have to start doing graffiti. We need to tag EVERYTHING WE CAN in protest. We need to pull a Jinx/Jinxer from Arcane in the sense that we need to tag everything we can.

If you don't want to get in trouble, check if there are areas that are free to tag and you won't get in trouble, or just use a canvas and paint traditionally. Or even just get as much printer ink as you can to print as many posters as you can.

Make zines and leave them around at your local cafés, bookstores, libraries, restaurants, churches ESPECIALLY (because fuck Republicans and their shitty cults) or wherever you think will be a good place. Throw blue smoke bombs at your local churches.

It hurts no one, and it will all send a message.

We are angry.

We are angry that the Separation of Church and State has been trampled over and these churches have had the fucking audacity to try to take everyone's rights away. They have disrespected the Constitution and we will not take it lying down.

We are angry that Republicans are letting a literal RAPIST, TRAITOR and a CONVICTED FELON run the country for a SECOND FUCKING TIME.

We are angry that Republicans are disrespecting and betraying our allies.

In my hometown there is a church that has a FUCK TON of Republican Anti-Choice propaganda plastered all over the outside of their building.

We cannot be silent. We cannot stop speaking out. You cannot get tired of it. We need to start the pressure on day one of the new year or hell even now. And then NOT STOP until the Republican Party cuts their bullshit PERMANENTLY.

So let's get the meis en plas.

A lot of us on the Left and Democrat Party are environmentally conscious so I did my best to find as many biodegradable products that I could:

Spray paint.

Chalk.

Smoke bombs.

Ecofriendly art supplies in general: [1] [2] [3] [4]

To avoid your face being seen and thus being caught I highly suggest you invest in getting a mask especially a gas mask if you are using spray paint. I don't want anyone getting sick.

To paint the town blue our primary color for our protest art should be as bright of a blue as we can get. However, that doesn't mean we can't use all the colors.

Using “Traditional” art is a way to get your town talking and get more eyes on it. One person sees it and they take pictures and then they spread it around Facebook and Instagram and whatever other platforms your town uses the most.

I got this idea from the music video “Paint the Town Blue” in Arcane. To silently protest in the show, the people of Zaun started dying some if not all of their hair blue, started using chalk to deface Piltover Propaganda, and even dressing like Jinx. And the way they act out is also by making art.

I use this as an example of what we as people can do to peacefully protest without having to organize outside of your local town hall and hold up signs only for Trump to start having the military gun us all down. He cannot and will not look good to his worshipers if he starts shooting people down for simply dying their hair or making art. He will try to demonize everyone for it, that's a fact, but he will not be able to turn your entire home town against you when there is no actual physical damage towards ANYTHING. The most they will be able to do is that they will have to do is wash your art away but it will start to be spread online as well.

But if you don't want that to happen, painting on an actual canvas and selling it is another thing you can do. You might face harassment depending on what your artwork looks like and says, but you cannot back down. Never back down.

Make sure to wear masks. Be them the N95 masks, or something else.

If you are a woman, invest in a taser, and getting your tubes tied. Don't date, don't have kids if you happen to be single and/or not have kids. We CANNOT risk literal fucking death for a relationship and sex. It's not worth it. However, when it comes to Republican Women they will die because of their insurance that the most important role they can ever have is to be a mother. They will never value their lives outside of that until they have that "oh it's only less than a percent" moment when they have the ectopic pregnancy or are raped. As sad as it is they asked for this shit. They want to "clean the gene pool" they will have to realize it applies to them too.

If you can, update all of your vaccines before the end of the year. And remember to use masks if you notice anyone, even yourself are sick.

If you happen to want to tear shit up via the political system itself. Then the biggest and greatest way you can do so is by doing your research, look up “Run For Something” and sign up to jump into the political scene in your town, county, and state because you don't need to go to law school to become governor of your state or even the secretary of your state.

Yep, you can do that. Currently I am trying to figure out a way to get into my local school board for a community college I went to several years ago.

You don't need a lot of education for the VAST majority of positions in US politics. I'm not even making shit up here. The school board position I'm trying to get only has the requirement that I'm 21 years old or older. That's it.

Yeah, there is a limit as to how young you are for a position in your local politics. Check it out and see what you can do.

We need to tear shit up and not stop.

If you don't want to run for your local office or jump into such a job tear shit up artistically. If you don't have art skills, DON'T SHUT UP ABOUT POLITICS AND DONT DATE OR HAVE KIDS.

And if you just don't like Politics or are not interested in Politics I hate to be the one to inform you but, you may not be interested in politics but politics is VERY interested in you.

If you want to read more to get further into politics, read books that scare the ever loving shit out of Republicans, things like just about anything from Karl Marx.

Speaking of Karl Marx, the man himself predicted that one of the reasons why Capitalism will fail is because the wealth gap between Labor and Capitol will be too great and it will enrage the proletariats (the working class) and look at what happened recently. An Insurance CEO got killed by a proletariat who suffers from extreme pain.

We need to tear the rich down and keep scaring them. Karl Marx and Theodore Roosevelt predicted that the wealth gap and the 1% would be the downfall of democracy thanks to Capitalism, and they are right.

Personally I don't care how we tear them down. I just want to see them be forced to give us the money they have owed us.

Let's tear shit apart. Be it through peace or violence. Inside and out. I am not going to push this responsibility onto the next generation like the generation before me and the generation before that. We can't keep waiting for someone to do something.

[polyvirnl]

I don't know if everyone has seen this yet, but apparently the supreme Court has abolished the right for mass protest in at least three states and is planning to force conservative laws on the United States with this movement. I've seen many speculate about how this will affect so many freedoms the people of the States have supposedly enjoyed this far including many women's rights, LGBT rights, and religious freedoms. Who knows what else. I honestly hate talking about politics but seriously fuck the US government rn. It's always half a step forward and a million back.

[vintageseawitch]

to everyone who is still not going to vote for Harris or will vote third party because of Gaza: please say with your whole chest that you want trump to win. we're living in the real world & it sucks but it's between the two. just say that you're perfectly okay with Project 2025 being implemented. just say that you're fine with mass deportations, another Muslim ban, people being sent to camps, people getting serial numbers, millions of women at risk for reproductive reasons, more oil drilling than ever before as they deny climate change. tell anyone you care about that is worried about any of these things that you are okay with all of this happening. no matter who we get, things will be happening over there. if you don't want to help your own house, how can you possibly help anyone else's?

"if she loses, just know it's because of her policies. they should have chosen a better candidate." THIS IS SUCH A COPOUT. we're going to have someone in charge of our military one way or another so they are ALL warmongers!! y'all have no fucking clue how this government works!! you're not marrying your candidate & to wait for someone perfect means you never live in the real world anyways.

it won't be entirely your fault if she loses, but if you're working harder for her to lose it's not good. just say that because we live here, we ALL deserve what we're gonna get, & that's including you because you're going down with the rest of us.

there's this thing called "being concerned about more than one thing" & another is telling everyone vulnerable around you that your principles matter more than other real people. where is the anger for Congress. for trump meeting with netanyahu & violating the Logan Act to do that. there's so much at stake in this election. who would you feel safer to protest under? whatever, y'all think they're "the same." we won't get your votes? odds are, a bunch of y'all will get deported anyways should he win. good luck.

[midnight-soulless-system]

I ain't in the US but I feel your pain. Why don't you serve em with a 6th of January of your own?

Thank you for this ask anon, because yes. I am now planning a "Jan 6th" of my own, just like. Not treason.

On December 2nd I believe that everyone that can should go to their local government (or DC if you can) and protest Project 2025, Trump's plans for Palestine, and just Trump's policies in general.

Obviously I can't get a permit for everywhere, but you don't need one as long as you don't block the streets.

I realize that I am just some random person in the US that none of you know, and I've literally never organized a protest before and this will likely be stupid and messy, but it can be loud. If there are enough of us, then it can be loud.

40 Ways to Fight Fascists: Street-Legal Tactics for Community Activists

40 completely legal tactics — many of which are accessible to people from different backgrounds, skill sets, and identities—that can be used to counter and contain White Nationalist, fascist, and violent Far Right organizing in your community.

[all-socialism-is-democratic]

Project 2025 is terrifying. But when the history books talk about this period, they will point to July 1, 2024, as the beginning of the Fascist Era in the United States.

That's the day SCOTUS ruled on the perfectly-named Trump v. United States, in which the Court said the president could not be prosecuted for crimes committed in office.

In the 11 days since, Biden and the Democrats have taken absolutely no action. That's because they are not an antifascist party. They will capitulate and capitulate until fascism is complete.

The media are playing this down as something that only applies to Trump. As something not especially dangerous. As something normal.

Protest, strikes, even "rioting" (a slur for direct action) are not failures of democracy, they are integral to it. The system has failed and will not replace itself. The People still have the power to make real, substantive change and create a society that is not just not-fascist but actively antifascist. And anticolonialist, antiracist, antisexist, genuinely democratic, and free.

Voting for Democrats AT BEST delays the inevitable furthering of fascism for a short while, and AT WORST actually accelerates fascism by empowering capitulators. Want to vote Biden? Fine, waste an hour of your time.

If you want to actually fight fascism, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT.

[unofficial-project-2025]

Project 2025 is the republicans' plan to turn the USA into a dictatorship if Trump, or any other republican candidate, wins this year's election. It's policies (all images are from there, links from r/Defeat_Project_2025) include:

Expand presidential powers and use religion to shape laws

Fire 50K federal workers and hire loyalists instead

Make affirming a trans child's gender count as abuse, outlaw p*rnographic material and equate LGBTQ+ content as p*rn

Try to ban birth control and contraception

Decry single moms

Rollback climate change protactions

Replace equality measures with 'anti white racism' laws

And this is only some of the things that I can link to without going over the link limit! Check the 'policies' link for PDFs of 'The Mandate For Leadership', which perfectly explain what Project 2025 is about!

Please, vote for Blue this year to prevent Trump from winning. You are not voting for just one person, but for an entire administration that will rule what's probably the most inffluential country in the world for the next 4 years. And it's also important to know that Trump has said that he want to 'crush pro-palestine protests'. Just an extra thing that I wanted to add.

If you want to help stop this, go join Stop The Coup 2025 to help educate people, and check the aformentioned r/Defeat_Project_2025 for additional resources that I can't link to! (also change the 'www' to either 'new' or 'old' to change the layout to something better).

Organize with your friends to protest and find flyers online to put everywhere you can so that more people may know about this! reblog this post to make more people see it! Get in contact with your local democrats and vote for them everywhere you can, even outside of the presidential elections!

We can't let Trump win this year or any other, because he and the entire republican party won't be kind on anyone who doesn't fit their worldview.

If we fight together, then we can win!

Proposition: Make the moose a sign/symbol against Trump, Project 2025, etc.

I try not to get personally political on here (i.e make my own original politics posts instead of reblogs), but I had this idea a few days ago so I thought that I might share it.

Hear me out on this, but what if we used the moose as a sort of symbol for protesting against Trump, and by extension Project 2025? There’s a few reasons on why I came to this conclusion, but the main ones are the following:

Moose are often targets of hunters and poachers, similarly to how so many communities and minorities are being targeted by Project 2025. However despite that, moose will commonly fight back if they feel or are threatened, which is also similar to how we are trying to fight back, protest, and prepare for the outcome of this election.

What moose symbolize. In different places, moose symbolize several things. The most notable however is that they often symbolize strength and pride.

Moose are very enduring and adaptable animals, just like how we will endure these next four years and survive through Project 2025 and Trump

Feel free to build on this idea, spread it around, and more! If you want to use something like an emoji in relation to this idea, then I’d recommend the deer (🦌) emoji rather than the moose (🫎) emoji, since not everyone’s device can see it.

I will be keeping comments on this post on for now. BUT, if Trump supporters suddenly start trying to flock to this post and spew their bigotry and rhetoric, I will not hesitate to turn comments off. My account is NOT a safe space for Trump or Project 2025 supporters. I can and will block any accounts that support him or are ‘neutral’ on him. Please fucking educate yourself if you are in support of him.

RESOURCES :

List of Crisis Lines and Warm Lines that won’t call the police

How to stockpile on HRT (For both Transmascs and Transfems)

Trans Suicide Hotline

The Trevor Project

(I’ll add more resources as I find them. If you know of any, then feel free to reblog, dm me, or comment)

If you’re struggling because of the election’s outcome, remember this: you have to survive and keep going. If not for yourself, then for your family (whether it be biological or your found family). If not them, then your friends. If not then, then your pets if you have any. If not them, then dammit do it out of spite. Stay alive to spite that badly tanned, sad excuse of a man. Outlive him. Live your life happier than he or anyone associated with him has ever, or could ever live.

I believe in you. We can get through this. Together.

[boymanmaletheshequel]

*Siggghhhh* it begins. To all my trans witches, hellenists, and fellow queer folk, stay strong. This is scary, very very scary, but we are stronger than fascism. We will be there for eachother and if they try to interfere with us, just remember: we have the right to bare arms for a reason. Be prepared to defend yourselves, and protect your trans and queer neighbors and friends. I love you all 🏳️‍⚧️. Fuck this orange bitch.

[neccturtle]

TL;DR I’m not gonna hide online.

I don’t care.

this is mostly a vent to be honest, it’s kinda long lmao

sorry

tw for vague mentions of mental health issues. I don’t go too into it tho.

I spent so much time hating myself for being trans, so much time thinking there must be something wrong with me.

with my mental health being broken because of my own insecurities and fears. (which, again, I’m not gonna go too into)

I finally came out this year and received love from my family, and a few months later my country told me “no,”

“you are a defect, you are broken, you should hate yourself. because there’s something wrong with you”

and I don’t give a damn anymore.

I will still be myself. and I hope I can at least inspire one person to feel better.

I know I’m not much, I’m not gonna start a movement or change the world.

I’m just a young trans girl who naively thought she’d live a normal life.

but although a small one, I’ll use my voice. even if it’s just to scream. I’ll start making more content then I ever have, I’ll bury myself in it. It’s the one thing I can actually change, the one thing I can control. since there’s no solution to this nightmare but waiting for me, I’ll post my art, I’ll be queer, puerto rican, and proud of it.

I will not hide anymore.

I’m tired of hiding.

I love you all. please send me asks and stuff, Interacting with people like me helps me feel less alone lmao.

and before I start spiraling again I’ll just try to stay strong. for me, for my family, for people like us, and for my dog.

I’ll try to focus on the things that make me happy, on my art, my OCs, my little youtube channel, my growing style and odd sense of fashion, music, my love of food, the most adorable floppy ears and wagging tail in the world, the best mother I could dream for, and hope that maybe someday.

things will get better. ect. ect.

I’m not giving up, probably out of spite.

but I’m still a bit lost.

very disappointed in my country (like usual) but not really surprised.

I’m scared, but I’ll do the most radical extremist thing I can…

and live.

try to anyways.

I know this is a very big tonal shift from my usual content (which, on tumblr specifically isn’t much since I’m new here), as I’m usually way more bright and bubbly,

but I can’t really be that person right now, I can’t pretend everything’s ok. or that I’m fully ok.

I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know what to think.

I don’t know what to say.

emotionally I’m a mess right now.

I’ll take some time to process all of this (and post some drafts in the meantime)

but I just wanna wish everyone good luck, and hope we can make it out of this.

I’m not strong enough for this, but I’ll keep going for all of us, and because I wanna outlive that big fascist orange.

but for now I’ll just take time to think.

and brace myself for what comes next.

and probably start learning a new language.

love y’all, see y’all later, good night,

and good luck to us all 🩵🩵

P.S. my Mom made me go back and capitalize all the “i”s lmao

[and-loth-cat]

nothing says texas more than people wearing trump masks, having trump cutouts in the windows of their cars, preaching about how trump will "save us" in november at a fourth of july parade (while i, dressed in my pride outfit proudly help up my inclusion pride flag in silent protest)

and me being the only person cheering when the democrats came by, waving my pride flag because theyre my only hope

celebrating independence day while the people you endorse are working to take away every right i have is hypocritical. you can't preach about independence and freedom if you want to take away my humanity

please vote blue for those who can't yet. our future, my future, is up to you.

vote blue

I made a thing for all my witches out there

[yogutwo]

i dunno guys project 2025 pisses me off.

like genuinely none of the shit in there would benefit you if you aren’t a rich straight white man. then on top of that it’s 900 pages of ignoring the constitutional rights put in place two hunad years ago?

like if i genuinely had the financial situation america would no longer be my home, much less the south. but the thing is people aren’t paying attention to our choices right now. the winner doesn’t have to be trump it just has to be republican, and it’s not like the democrats are much better. COUGH COUGH BIDEN.

Biden who funds war crimes overseas in israel and sends artillery over to fuel the genocide in palestine. he’s does all that funding and doesn’t focus on his own country that is struggling itself with housing and inflation. i’ve never been big into politics except for the fact that i’ve dabbled in presidential stuff so if what i say is misinformation correct me and i’ll edit the post.

But it is way more important then ever to GO VOTE. PROTEST. BOYCOTT. SPEAK OUTTTT.

closed mouths don’t get fed and your voice is your weapon use that shit to its full potential.

[divinechieko222]

new york city is a shit show right now and not because of the students peacefully protesting. i’m so sick of fucking cops. research the history of the police force in america. tear-gassing students and snipers on rooftops. we all know this will escalate. it’s just when. it’s ironic, when you grow up with school shootings and no gun laws you become pretty desensitized. if the government thinks a shooting will scare people then they’re just plain stupid. ivy league students being shot at on the grounds of campus. all i can think about is the kent state massacre. everyone attending protests please be safe and mask up!!! those not attending, if you can, drop off food and water to protestors fighting for our rights. you don’t need to be palestinian to care about the genocide in gaza, you just need to be human. they don’t just want to ban tiktok because of the mass spread of unregulated information. they want to ban tiktok because of the mass spread of empathy. billions of videos depicting the human experience. i have cried so many tears and laughed until my stomach hurt all for strangers i’ll never meet. when we care about each other more than we care about the dollars in our pockets it scares them. it scares them because they feed and live off of human suffering and exploitation. they’ve manipulated our minds so much we believe we are dependent on them when really they are dependent on us. they’ve divided us so much we’ve forgotten what it’s like to love each other. they’ve allowed so much violence and so much hatred that it’s become all we know. but a heart full of empathy and love will always want to share that love. that’s what they fear. capitalism is just a circle jerk of who has the deepest pockets and billionaires can’t exist without the exploitation of the working class. calculate how many hours you’d need to work earning minimum wage in order to be a billionaire. look up the recent layoffs of thousands of hiring recruiters across the country. research the nationwide implementation of AI that accepts your résumé based on buzzwords and not actual experience. did i mention homelessness is illegal and i’m pretty sure social security is like gone now? How many hours would it take to be billionaire?

[vintageseawitch]

to those leftists who are "uncommitted" or will vote third party: what exactly is your alternative? you know goddamn well your "protest" vote isn't gonna change shit & may help trump win. you scoff & claim that "OBVIOUSLY i don't want trump to win 🙄" but you're working harder to make sure Harris loses than he does.

i can't get over how y'all know "so much" about far left theory... but you know jack shit about how the American government works. you already act like the president is a monarch. i NEVER hear y'all talk about how important local & state voting is because most of you spew the bullshit that is "my vote doesn't matter."

the extremist Republicans have been playing a long fucking game. a few genocides will happen on our own soil if they gain all the power they want - that of immigrants, specifically brown people, & LGBTQIA. they will destroy them & anyone who wants to help them. this has been a long game because they can count on their voters actually participating in every election & mostly old people are the ones doing the voting.

we all complain about old people being selfish, how "they had theirs & will work to make sure younger generations don't." young people however are NOTORIOUS for not showing up at the polls. where the fuck are you leftists complaining about all the horrible bad things? y'all almost act like shocked Pikachu faces when piece of shit politicians get power then do horrible things. WHY AREN'T YOU ADVOCATING FOR LOCAL POLITICIANS.

if anything, Republicans live more in the real world than leftists who want their precious, magical, instantly-fix-everything revolution. Republicans have been patiently playing a long game & it's been WORKING. leftists get mad that changes they want don't happen instantly so they just give up on the system altogether. y'all want politicians to check ALL of your goddamn boxes or they get no help from you.

your protest vote in this election is selfish. you're not being smart about this. for fuck's sake, you're not marrying Harris, you're thinking of the long game. we need to work hard to make sure trump loses. the likes of jill stein, who is also a traitor, will not save us. she will hand us over to Russia on a platter. you want the US to collapse? you are so fucking foolish that you not only remain ignorant of how our government works but also geopolitics & all the delicate nuance. YES, the United States is fucked up, but world leaders are more nervous about a trump second term than not. HE FREED THE FUCKING TALIBAN.

you think things will be the same as ever? you're as bad as MAGA. you want us all to fail & all it will cost is LGBTQIA folks, immigrants (including those who have been here for decades), any woman who needs some kind of abortion care to save her life, children as more get gunned down, the elderly & disabled & anyone else who qualifies for social security & Medicare, veterans, indigenous folks, the environment since they don't believe in climate change WHICH AFFECTS THE ENTIRE DAMN PLANET, etc. but at least you're conscience will be clear.

please be smarter than Republicans & think this through. in another election in 1995 in Isreal a protest vote occurred & as a result netanyahu won by LESS THAN A WHOLE PERCENT. they were protesting AGAINST him. your "principles" could aid in harming us all. "they should have chosen a better candidate" our system led us to either choosing Harris or trump. for now it sucks but one of them will govern us. if you're so unsure then you might as well look forward to trump winning. he's not long for this world so jd fucking vance will be president instead. he's much younger & more evil, horrible, & psychotic. THINK ABOUT THE LONG GAME. vote locally & at state level, not just during thr general election. y'all don't sound smart to me; you sound prideful & short-sighted.
