        You mean apart from all the anti-queer rhetoric that has done nothing but grow and grow since 2016, culminating to the point where they were literally talking about genocide at their Conservative Political Action Conference?

        And all the stuff in Project 2025?

        And the fact that his Director of National Intelligence is literally in a cult that preaches about how evil queer people are?

        Not much makes me think that at all.

        But do tell me about this ‘both sides of America are on fire’ thing you claim to genuinely see. What is the supposed fire from the left?

          The left are like “they’re going to put me in camps” and the right are like “they’re eating the dawgs” like what is going on

            What is going on is that the left is seeing what the right is literally saying they are doing and expecting them to do it and the right is just believing made-up bullshit about eating pets because their leaders know they’ll buy anything and their emperor has dementia.

            So unless by ‘both sides are on fire,’ you mean that one side is seeing the threats being made and the other are listening to the crazed rantings of a man who’s brain is half-liquid, sure. Otherwise I’d say the issue is that fascists have taken control of the U.S.

            How do you not know this when so many other people around the world do? Do you consume a lot of media owned by News Corp. or something?

              I’m British. I don’t care much for American politics. I just see other people getting riled up over it. Went out with a friend who took a photo of a digital menu in a canadian chain café and captioned it “I am looking for liberal tears”. Saw a video of Kamala telling a Christian he is at the wrong rally. See people on here claiming Trump is going to put people in camps for being gay and will get rid of elections. See people trying to kill trump. See people calling Trump the Antichrist.

              I think America is ‘cooked’

                You need to be less credulous. She was saying that to a bunch of Trump people who came to heckle her.

                There’s not caring for politics and then there’s just believing anything without any context.

                Also, did you look at any of the links I gave you that showed you evidence of what I’m talking about? Because it doesn’t sound like you did.

                  Was “Christ is King” heckling?

                    Got it. You didn’t look at a single link. This is willful ignorance on your part and it’s disappointing, but I don’t really have anything else to say when you are determined to not be informed and determined to believe the first thing you’re told without checking.

                    Your Christian persecution complex is, however, noted.
