      Not me specifically, but they want trans people eradicated, and I am indeed trans. If you aren’t aware of what they’re literally saying about us, what they’re already doing to us in red states, that’s your problem.

      I’m also brown, educated, left wing, outspoken, neurodivergent, bisexual, and a woman. I’m the embodiment of everything they hate. I’m their worst nightmare. I’m an obvious target for the state violence Trump promises to carry out. I made the mistake of not taking him on his word last time, and I won’t make it again.

        This isn’t oppression Olympics. Don’t need to know all the identifying factors that make you more oppressed than other people so you have some sort of moral or social high ground.

        Last I heard lots of trans people are killing themselves. Sounds like a mental health crisis more than a political one.

        I agree that Trump will do damage to the LGBTQ2A+ community and other oppressed communities, but the president doesn’t have all the power. Everything goes through the house and/or senate.

        Please feel free to vote for a man who is aiding in the murder of innocent children and families. I will not tell my children and potentially grandchildren that I chose him or Trump to lead our country. I’ll vote for house and senate until they fix the electoral college and allow RCV or something similar for presidential elections.

          As someone with formal experience in psychology and mental health, the entire mental health crisis our society faces is the result of politics. As economic inequality goes up, mental health problems go up. Workers pushed by their bosses burn out. People living paycheck to paycheck have worse mental health. Everyone has worse access to healthcare and don’t seek the help they need because they can’t afford it. Trans people kill ourselves because our problems aren’t taken seriously by close minded people like you.

          You see mental problems as a personal fault rather than a collective responsibility. This is because you think people deserve what they get and have sole “responsibility” for their suffering. You act woke, but you’re more ignorant to suffering Biden. Tell your children how you voted and never deny that you let a fascist gain power. Hopefully they’ll be decent people in spite of your efforts.

            As somebody who has formal experience with psychology and mental health you should know better than to deal in absolutes. Not sure what you define as the “mental crisis” happening in our country right now. Are you only talking about trans suicides?

            Yes, politics play a role in mental health, but whatever mental health crisis you speak of cannot possibly be contributed to politics entirely. Especially, because as you seem to believe, politics are a result of the people’s actions or inactions, meaning the people influence culture as much as politics influence society.

            You should know better than to make assumptions who you think I am by projecting all of your frustrations with the political system and society on me. It’s okay. I’ll be your punching bag. I hope you can find happiness and I wish you good physical and mental health.

              I want you to actually interrogate your beliefs, but thoughts and prayers are all you can muster. What more can I expect from someone stuck in the mindset of personal responsibility? I mean, you repeatedly assume that because you don’t know about something already, it must not be real or worth investigating. Can’t win an argument against people who have no motivation to learn or grow 😁

                I wish you the best. Take care of yourself but focus on taking care of others too. It’ll help you.
