What would be the alternative
Shoot them
We're allowed to kill Abe Lincoln and JFK, why aren't we allowed to kill these guys? Why does Reagan get plot armor out of all the presidents? Who wrote this shit?
To be fair JFK getting shot was pretty epic though. He almost caused nuclear holocaust (although a more rabidly anti-communist president may have definitely caused nuclear holocaust), war crimed the South Vietnamese a ton, and stabilized Israel. RFK getting assassinated was less epic because that gave us Nixon
You have a very twisted view of the world. No one was "allowed" to shoot Abe Lincoln or JFK. It was very much not allowed, but murderers don't usually care about what's allowed and do it anyway.
so suppose you let trump win to spite the dnc. then what? what are you going to tell all the people whose rights are being taken away?
"If there were enough people who cared about trans lives to actually change the outcome of the election, you wouldn't need the law to protect them -- you could just make them do it."
Please God tell me I'm misreading this. People in Texas can just get fucked I guess?
Sorry; what would be the alternative NOW?!?
I don't see all that happening before it's time to vote, so isn't what you're saying now a bit of a distraction from the very real risk to the stability of the country?
