    The 65% living paycheck to paycheck, the record homelessness, record auto repos, and out of control income inequality think it cant get much worse than it is.

    Those issues didn’t magically appear as biden was elected. They have existed for decades.

    And if genocide isnt a persons red line for refusing to support someone they are not a good person and are not an ally to any marginalized communities.

    And you think Trump will be an ally to the marginalized communities?

      It has existed for decades, but has accelerated rapidly the last few years, all to record highs.

      Trump is garbage with anything not white male, but every marginalized knows where they stand with republicans. They dont pretend to embrace the marginalized to use them as tokens to stay in power.

        You cannot be serious. Hershel Walker? Kanye West? Milo Yiannopolous? Blaire White? Conservatives practically invented, “I have a black/gay/trans friend, so I’m not a bigot.”

        Also, even if that was true, knowing someone is 100% going to use you and stab you in the back doesn’t make them the safer bet.

            They are your aforementioned “tokens.” Whether they are themselves marginalized is totally irrelevant to the fact that they’re used as token representatives of their respective marginalized groups to keep Conservatives in power.
