Trump winning supports the genocide of every LGBTQ+ person in all of North America, be it directly or indirectly. No one wants what is happening in Gaza. But, I have to say the potential genocide (in the sense of complete erasure of culture as well as open murders with little to no consequences sense) here is even higher.
I have the unfortunate circumstance of being a trans woman in GA. I already have had to completely shut off most contact with people, both work and personal.
I’ve already had rocks thrown at me in an attempt to kill me (this was years ago, even). I already feel like I have to carry a gun. If things go the way they seem, I will even have to order in groceries because it will further empower the people that hate my existence.
The foreign policy is shit, no question. However, I don’t like the possibility of being raped and murdered by some asshole that thinks he understands Co² emissions after watching some video.
I have a lot to say here, especially as a very blue collar machinist. I will refrain, though.
In conclusion: by “avoiding” the genocide in Gaza (which would have in my opinion had a much higher chance of being resolved with Democratic policies), you have also doomed people like me to maybe live in fear for the rest of our lives.
And to imagine that this doesn't affect either of those nations is very short sighted. Remember that there is a self declared queen of Canada based entirely on Trumpism and QAnon BS, as well as the potential mass detaining of innocent Mexicans.
Oh, it's worse than that for Canada. Trump during his last term tanked entire sectors of our economy with executive orders he spat out like tweets. Those "deals" were all taken apart in International court filings but the damage was already done.
Remember we are a very big landmass staffed by only a sliver more people than exist in the state of California. If the US goes under we will be ripped apart as no more than collateral damage.
The impact is larger than the joke "queen of Qanada" nobody pays attention to.
The US is the most important trade partner for Canada, and lots of Canadians live in the US.
I absolutely agree this will impact all of North America, but equating the US with North America is simply incorrect.
