That's what I mean, a few people being disappeared in a particularly crazy summer of nationwide protests years ago is way better than it being the norm for anyone that doesn't agree with the Trump admin.

Do you not understand degrees of harm and think that since Biden isn't a perfect communist than he is no different than an full on fascist dictatorship? Do you hate you mom like Hitler if she doesn't give you Cheetos for dinner?

You didn't look up Homan Square.

I did for like two minutes, maybe I didn't find the thing you're talking about. It doesn't matter, the fact that bad shit has happened under or even due to Biden doesn't mean Trump isn't far more dangerous. It's a matter of degree (like would you rather be shot in the head or kicked in the nuts, they're both bad, not equivalent), there is no option for president that is without major concern.

I'm a trans (and Mexican) person, my choice is this:

--> Keep in mind, they both support genocide in Palestine, they both will disappear people at protests, climate change will be fixed under neither of them

Trump: Has made it clear retribution is a major theme of his next presidency should he win. His base hates me with a fiery passion and would put me in an oven without a second of thought needed. If Trump wins, the likelihood that I can retain the right to housing and employment to support myself, and not get disappeared for being who I am is virtually nil.

Biden: Has maintained and even expanded rights for LGBT people. If Biden wins, there is no direct threat to my job, housing, or life. If Biden wins, I can continue taking care of my kitties, be there for my family, work to help others, I can't help anyone or be there for anyone if I'm forced into prostitution to survive, dead, incarcerated.
