All relative. Typical reply when you've got nothing😅
Hey! You read all of my comment this time. Thank you for extending the bare minimum of effort. In return, I'll read your comments; It's a reciprocal relationship.
So, in your view, elections change nothing and we're all sheeple. True change will occur during the revolution; elections have no consequences. Answer me this:
For a trans woman, living in the American South, would another Trump presidency lower quality of life for her, raise it, or would it stay roughly the same?
I'm not trans so I couldn't say. I'd have to do research.
I can say the continued LGBTQIALMNOPQRSTUV divisive behaviors aren't doing anyone any favors. As long as its a separation, things will never evolve. Because they are treating certain sexual orientations as "special" when the root of that is a lack of. If being LGBTQIALMNOP wasn't seen as "other" and just as regular as "straight" we wouldn't have these silly debates and ignorant mindsets.
People have the right to live and exists, without needing an explanation for why they deserve to do so. This planet is so wicked and demonic. Hating someone because their sexual orientation, skin complexion, gender differs from your wheelhouse is insanity. Low intelligence.
I haven't been alive long, yet long enough, I can't think of 1 major issue that negatively impacted my life based on who was or wasn't president. Fucked up, is fucked up, no matter whose in that chair. NONE of the past president's have demonstrated anything on a higher level. They play to your emotions and it's hilarious to sit back and watch people justifying bs....for generations they piss on your leg and tell you it's raining... but I'm the conspiracy theorist for grabbing an umbrella... got it.
Also, if I'm anywhere,south north, ignorance is ignorance hate is hate. I don't think it's restricted to the south. I'm not trans but if the south was presenting serious issues, I'd be standing my ground, or relocating. Bullies stop being bullies when you fight back!
...Okay. Vibe check failed.
Based on what you wrote, I'm almost certain you can't vote, so the topic is moot.
If you're actually an adult... That's sad.
The idea that there wouldn't be bigotry if nobody made it a big deal is conservative Regan era white racism that you picked up from your parents. Maybe your grandparents.
The idea that "move or fight" are your two solutions is an infantile mindset. Why should I move away from the place of my birth because of who I am? To abandon my family and weaken my economic standing? How could I fight a man who wants to kick my teeth in because he found out I'm a tranny? What do I do when an employer denies me a job because I'm "not a good fit"?
You think presidents have no impact on our lives. You think Carter would have killed the same number of queers. You think Mondale would have had the same war on drugs. You think Gore would have loosened EPA regulations. You think Lieberman would have slashed corporate taxes. You think McCain and Romney would have appointed sane justices; that gay marriage would be legal. You think Clinton would have appointed anti abortion justices.
Every elder gay I know lost multiple friends in the 80s. My life was changed because of the Iraq war. The weather in my area is more erratic because of climate change. Who I was allowed to marry was changed by the obergefell decision. My ability to continue with IVF treatment was ceased due to the abortion ban.
No president has failed to affect my life. To say that they haven't affected yours betrays your naivete, your privilege, or both.
