Democrats were pretty cool about protecting trans people. But thanks to non-voters and $hill Stein voters (along with tens of millions of “low information” Trumpledorks), Trump has all three branches of government at his disposal.

Not really, like their supposed protection of black people their protection of trans people is contingent on how the minority behaves.

That's not support, that's blackmail.

"Behaves"?? You mean votes? Yeah it is contingent on how people vote. See gestures to everything

No, behaves. Liberal darling Tim walz called the national guard on the Floyd protests long before any semblance of violence happened.

If any minority protests a Democrat, they go back to their kkk roots faster than you can say southern strategy.

Sometimes opinions like this get downvoted and I wonder if Lemmy is really as progressive as we claim it to be.

What the governor called out the National Guard to protect bystanders and property? In case things went south fast?

Fascists, obviously. Well now I'm glad we lost. Whoever won will surely be much better for that.

Speaking of - since they lost, why the long face? Shouldn't we be celebrating? Hooray the sucky Democrats lost! They're the worst! Down with the Democrats! Yaaaayyyy
