    I’m sorry, English isn’t my first language. First paragraph is kinda confusing for me. Could you please elaborate for me? Thank you.

      Basically I’m saying that only someone who’s completely insulated from the lived experience of inequality could be capable of so strongly believing that both the democrats and republicans are exactly the same, because only someone so insulated would have a lived experience in which democratic and republican governments could even remotely feel the same.

      All of the replies to you are complicated, so here’s a simple summary: The poster implied that a person who doesn’t see the difference between Trump and Biden probably wouldn’t be hurt by any of Trump’s policies or goals.

      For example, a transgender person may lose access to hormones and a gay person may be unable to marry or adopt a child. Poor people may lose food stamps (money given for food) and old people may lose social security (money given at old age).
