With donnie in power, we may very well have genocide in our borders.
Part of the problem with the Biden Administration (and Obama before him) is that it seems content to allow guys like Abbott and DeSantis to Do As Thou Wilt in their respective states. Biden could win reelection in '24 and we'd still see a genocide of border people, entirely because his administration is unwilling to pick a fight with a powerful governor in a state flush with heavily armed state border guards.
Uhh have you seen your borders the last... America's entire history
Sorry, I didn't word that very well. I mean within our borders. The extremists on the right wing get tingly in their swimming suit areas over the idea of killing their fellow citizens, and over stupid shit like not being sufficiently deferential to their Orange Jesus (OJ), being POC, gay, an uppity woman or liberal, and so on.
I'm assuming they are a fringe, but this kind of terrorism on a nation-state level does not require a majority. Not even all of the conservatives taken as a group are a majority. I suspect the teabaggers types are 30% or less of the population, and the ones that will gleefully cheer on/actively participate in genocide are probably less, but it's still at a very scary point, since even 10% of them and having a government that backs them is a recipe for disaster.
I think the logic here is that Biden, while endorsing genocide outside of the U.S., isn’t causing it inside of the borders. With Trump you’d have it both outside and inside.
Ergo, they see the choice as less genocide or more genocide. Both terrible but why choose more over less?
Blessed be the day we can vote for no genocide.
You can do it today. It's called third party.
In a FPTP system, that's called voting for Trump with extra steps. The fact that it fucking sucks doesn't change the fact that it's true.
wrong.
Contrary to popular belief, a voter is not responsible for other peoples votes. Im not changing my vote based on things im not responsible for, that's propaganda.
Yes.
No it's called not voting for Zionist Nazi genocide maniacs.
Lol this message of 'vote 3rd party' is such copium for trump being the GOP frontrunner.
Everyone knows trump is a turd, the only hope for the orange shitbag to win is a split vote. You sloppy trolls aren't very good at trying to fool people.
Your sloppy trolls are far worse. Everyone know Biden is a Genocidal Zionazi.
At least make up your own insults lmao.
Sloppy AND lazy, great combo.
Clever insults are for people capable of understanding them.
