that final paragraph is such a good summation of how it feels lately, I don't want to think badly of people who i'm certain care about me, but also every non-trans person I know either doesn't know any of this or thinks it must not be THAT bad
They cannot fathom that America is like this

There Is No Trolley Problem
We actually aren't constrained into atrocious premises by thought exercises. Obstacles are a reason to fight, not an excuse to quit. Our friends and neighbors aren't distractions..
"More than anything, though, fascists set up real-life trolley problems to get people to agree to their horrific premise that there must be people tied to the trolley tracks." More than ever, centrists agree with those premises and manage the bloody outcomes.

Or ai people could try finding a way to talk about it without combining the smug condescension of an 00's reddit atheist with the undeserved faux-intellectualism of a teenage libertarian in their first philosophy class.

Opinion | Abandoning Trans People Would Be Costly For the Democratic Party: Here's the Simple Math
Our votes cannot be taken for granted.
As always, @madycast.com's dissection of how Dems ditching trans people will even crater their own support is a reminder of how much of this is just based on plenty of liberal and centrist gentry also hating trans and queer people, and seeing an opening transnews.network/p/abandoning...

A cat poster in the style of a 1930s soviet propaganda poster. The poster is black and white except for a large, red flag held up by a black cat. It reads "Many Furs - One Working Class." Below the black cat, in a row looking forward, are four other cats of various types and fur colours with arms forward and claws out in an aggressive stance. Behind them is a statue of two cats holding up a star. The text below the image reads "United against capitalist domination and fascist barbarity we can make a world belonging to all." Small print at bottom reads "Third Socialist Cat Congress" and "United Upright Cats International (UUCI)". Nathan Nun 2019
A message from the United Upright Cats International and 3rd Socialist Congress. "Many Furs - One Working Class!" (Based on the 1937 poster, Greetings to the Fighters Against Fascism).

βdemocrats, as a party, largely offer kayfabe opposition in 2026β is a substantively different position from βthere is no difference between the parties.β eliding this difference feels, to me, an indication that one is not operating in good faith

Me: Pick someone who actually opposes fascism or else you'll get fascism.

See this doesn't make sense because several Very Intelligent People spent hours and hours and hours berating me for suggesting that not only would let Trump keep going, but that Dems would ultimately support it. Internet Liberal Thinklords wouldn't be wrong about something like that, would they?

you're the one making an argument for "harm reduction" which, for whatever reason, amounts to telling people like the op to stop saying she won't support a candidate threatening to hurt her. accusing me of "letting 100 minorities be sacrificed" is an attempt to guilt me into accepting death ->
