A lot of people are genuinely terrified about what will happen if Donald Trump wins reelection and it’s really weird how some of y'all are acting like everyone begging you to vote for Biden is some privileged, rich, out of touch, neo-liberal when a lot of them are just vulnerable people who don’t want to like…die in a brutal civil war or watch all their remaining rights get stripped away by an increasingly authoritarian Republican Party.
I do not know how to express to you how much worse it can get.
NonAmerican perspective here, but like……. do some of you really not see how bad it already is? Look back at 2016 and picture what you thought Trump’s America would look like, four years into the future.
Did the 2020 that you predicted back in 2016 look like 197 thousand Americans dead of a virus that your leader deliberately downplayed the severity of for months? Did it look like your entire eastern coast in flames, the air across half the country unbreathable, the skies a hazy orange from the smoke and the glow of the fires, and your president saying “climate change has nothing to do with this”? Did it look like over two thousand missing children, who were taken from their parents by “the authorities” and then lost by those same authorities? Two thousand children in the care of a government agency have gone missing, and has your bossman even commented on it, or has he just continued extolling the dangers of immigrants?
Did the 2020 you imagined look like months of civil unrest, because police murdered yet another black man, and instead of condemning the act, your leader said “the answer to this problem is worse police violence, and to beat the protestors into submission.”
Like, fuck me. Do you not see how bad it already is? This is what’s happened under Trump in four years, and some of you are really out there going “hm yeah but Biden has weak policies tho.” Would Biden take a global pandemic seriously? I suspect he would. Would Biden be open to working to stop climate change? He’s already said loads about what he’ll do to combat climate change. Would Biden completely fail to address the fact that women are being forcibly sterilised in ICE and children are being assaulted and going missing? I would be really surprised if he did nothing about that. Would Biden react to public outrage over cops murdering a civilian by sending in the national guard to attack peaceful protesters, assault journalists, permanently blind innocent civilians, and pepperspray children in the face? I really doubt it.
But Trump has done all that shit; is still actively doing all that shit, right at this very fucking moment. And some of you won’t vote for Biden because you’re not really a fan of his????
“Oh, Biden’s too moderate for me” BIDEN IS TOO MODERATE, SO YOULL GO WITH DONALD “THERES NO VIRUS,” “ITS BECAUSE THEY DIDNT MANAGE THE FORESTS WELL ENOUGH,” “IMMIGRANTS ARE CRIMINALS,” “SEND IN THE TROOPS” TRUMP INSTEAD?? You wanna let that guy win by default, to get another four fucking years, when he’s already done this much damage?? WHAT THE FUCK, GUYS
This is genuinely what I don’t understand. How do you have such a fucking warped perspective on the world that you think not voting is somehow better than voting for Biden. Like, its actually boggles the mind.
Actually, you know what, I know what it is. Its fucking privilege. Its the privilege of every fucking middle class white person on here who thinks they somehow are taking the high horse because, well, both sides are really as as bad as one another. I mean, Biden is 100% a sexual predatory.
Like this is some fucking cult of personality. Like this is some contest about whose side is the most morally high. Maybe y’all are too fucking close to the issue to see the impact Trump has had, so let me spell it out for you.
Trump has opened genuine concentration camps, which have left babies alone in cells for days and forcibly castrated people.
The Trump administration has openly admitted to collusion and tampering with the previous election with no negative side effect.
There has been a steep rise in the number of Nazi/White Nationalist movements in the last four years, to the point where its actually normalised.
The Trump administration has had bleed on effects into other countries such as Australia whose government seems to revere Trump and, by extension, enabled a number of alt-right movements.
The murdock press has had almost unrestrained freedom to tear apart anyone they want because extreme right winged beliefs are now so normal
People are simultaneously doubting the press more than ever, and yet believing it more than ever
Flat Earth and QAnon conspiracy theories exist as a directly result of Trump. WTF.
There are more extreme cases of police brutality, egged on by self righteous cops who feel empowered by Trump and the rise of the alt-right.
Trump defunding the CDC, completely bungling COVID, resulting in America remaining the largest country effected by COVID and, as other countries are coming down from it, America is still in full force resulting in the highest death toll so far
That’s also ignoring all the people who feel as though they can justify this decision on the grounds that the economy would suffer a bit or the belief that people dying isn’t so bad, as long as its not the worst thing killing people (re: COVID & Flu Deathtoll).
The fucking wall.
The continuation of the belief that unemployment is good regardless of whether or not the money provided is enough to live on. By extension, he introduced a new tax cut, promises to help the middle/lower class. It didnt, and actually made their tax worse while cutting it for the upper class.
He just fucking lies, constantly. not even shitty politician lies, but outright, fabrications with no weight behind him.
He’s taken more leave than any other American president in history
Trump ought to have been kicked out several times over and still hasn’t been
He has used his presidency to promote and sell products
He has used his presidency to avoid conviction. In fact, two weeks after his election he settled three fraud lawsuits related to his university. And that’s among many, many others
He called African countries ‘shitholes’, Mexican people ‘Racists’, and Nazis ‘Very fine people’.
He’s paid people off
He’s incited violence against several groups
Nepotism
And that’s, legit, not everything because his reign of hot fucking nonsense is so thick that we beginning to mistake it for the air we breath.
I actually don’t care why you don’t like Biden. I don’t care if you think that Obama isn’t actually that good because he was directly involved in the killing of hundred of people during the Iraq War. I don’t care if you think voting means being an active agent in choosing. Trump is among the worst presidents the world has ever faced. Such to the point where the world is beginning to believe his BS, and the only way to cope is to turn a blind eye to it. But fuck that, and fuck you. I’m pulling you out of your ignorance to tell you this. Passivity is a privilege that those who are directly affected by his actions can’t afford to that, and by not voting you are putting lives in danger.
Get off your thumb, and go fucking vote. Vote because your life depends on it.
