    I don’t know how I can make this any clearer. This election, 2024, is not normal. In 2020 or any year prior I’d agree with you that things are not black and white.

    The man attempted a fucking coup after he lost in 2020. He has forced anyone loyal to him, or fearful of his political power, to deny that he legitimately lost the last election. An enormous effort has been undertaken to install people loyal to him through the election process in countless states and counties throughout the country to have already tested their ability to contest, refuse to certify, and/or slow walk the electoral process.

    The upcoming election is black and white. If this man doesn’t suffer an overwhelming loss, there is a very good chance the US will become a dictatorship.

      If he wins its because the democrats spend their time attacking poor or religious republican voters instead of trying to understand why they feel the way they do. There are still peoplevoteing for trump because he’s not a “politician” and politicians have fucked them over for their entire lives.

      The fact that half the country trusts Trump and the new republican party says more about the country than it does Trump. I’m sure if we just shit on those people hard enough they won’t vote, right? Same thing being done to third party voters. If you aren’t with us you are: evil, immoral, hate minorities, hate lgbtq, etc etc.

      Democrats love to talk lately about coming together and supporting people while throwing shit on every single outgroup. Republicans might hate some groups very openly, but democrats do the same and pretend it doesnt exist or more often just call it a good thing when they do it, cause of course they are the good team.
