    Folks, OP is a well known anti-socialist who routinely creates messy drama. Nothing to see here, move along.

    They do also post quite a lot of nice historical content, which I quite appreciate. Maybe go enjoy that.

    It’s a little late now that there’s camps, sure. If people had refused harder to put up with shitty democrats in the past, like… decades past… then the dems would’ve lost to past republicans who weren’t quite dictators.

    In that alternate past where the dems actually lose for being center-right corporatists, they would’ve had to get some kind of spine or plan or… something… earlier to protect our public news and education from authoratarian misinformation and maybe prevented this bullshit.

    In this current world that we actually have though… I mean you saw we elected Biden, right? And you saw how much good that did – right? We need somebody on our side with some teeth and rolling over for milquetoast donation collectors is not going to get it for us.

    OP admits that they would cast a vote to put trans people in camps if the situation was right. This meme is ridiculous coming from a person like that.

    As a trans person, you can suck my girl dick. I am not a cudgel to be used by shitty libs to sheepdog votes for their nonexistent policy.

    Trans rights keep being eroded, regardless of who is in power, because the Democratic Party isn’t doing anything to preserve them.

    If genocide isn’t a red line for you then you don’t have red lines. You will literally vote for rounding up trans people and gassing them as long as the opposing candidate wants to torture them before execution because “it’s the lesser evil”

    This is exactly right. I frequently call these extremists right wingers because that’s basically what their attitudes amount to. They are right: liberalism leads to fascism. Capitalism is obviously a problem that needs abolishing. These are all things socialists believe because we’re socialists.

    The problem is that harm reduction is no small thing. It’s not avoiding a scrape on the knee or having a pool instead of a hose. We’re talking about real human beings who are suffering, to paraphrase Chomsky. How privileged do you need to be to think it’s hardcore communists or nothing?

    Fascism is not a break from the previous administration, but a continuation.

    Libs are still crying about their loss of power, still doing nothing to resist.

    When asked what Kamala’s opinion was about Trans people and protections, all she said is “they should follow the law”.

    The fuck is that non answer

    I feel like takes like this come from people with no long term memory. Do you remember the pro-palestinian crows begging Kamala Harris to even pretend like she’d do something to help? And she basically told them to vote for Trump? Blame the Democratic party for choosing to be fascism-light instead of actual resistance.

    I can’t find any news story about camps opening up for trans people, is this just random meming or is there substance to the claim?
