I’m speaking as an American wishing we could get rid of our rulers re running out of non violent options. If you haven’t noticed, we take what we want regardless of what you’re gonna do about it but usually we do that to brown people abroad for their oil?

But good luck bargaining, maybe if you flatter trump he’ll agree to it. Ugh.

I’m a woman who does not have sex with men but I got myself plan b just in case of emergency like a rape.

I’m hopeful trump will be dead by then of natural causes like eating too many hamburders and being old as dirt

I think a lot about 9/11 and asymmetric warfare. Bin Laden spent ~$100k and won. America has spent how many trillion since?

We just need to hit the people in power where it hurts. There’s a lot of ways to do that but we’re running out of nonviolent options.

They’re going to enslave most of us, just watch.

More than likely!

Hell he’d probably threaten to nuke us, our maple syrup is just that good

It’s pretty complicated. Our “red” looks nothing like the rest of Americas red. We’re not religious, and those who are keep it to themselves and have a live and let live philosophy. Evangelicalism is deeply unpopular here.

We’re a purple state locally, bright blue nationally. We voted like 80+% for Bernie and 70+% for Republican Phil Scott as governor.

I’d say we’re mostly small L libertarians - pro guns, pro LGBTQ, pro women’s rights, pro weed, strong social safety net for a small state. You also have la la land liberals in Burlington and montpelier who are completely out of touch with the rest of the state. I live in a “red” part of the state and have never felt threatened in the decade I’ve been here, most people are chill.

We’re also overwhelmed by rich asshole second+ homeowners from NYC and Boston but luckily they don’t vote in our elections but they greatly influence things despite that. And our legislature is comprised mostly by landlords which… is great for our housing crisis. /s

I grew up in the NYC metro area where I was routinely assaulted for being queer in the 90s. Hence my take no prisoners attitude when it comes to liberals protecting capital and aligning with fascists. Their support for my kind was never genuine and always performative rainbow capitalism.

I’m currently extremely ill and bedridden with a painful and dangerous dental infection that I’m struggling to get adequate treatment for thanks to capitalism.

But yeah, do tell me how to live my life. Typical liberal scolding.

Also I LOVE the assumption that I don’t normally make community when I’m well. 🙄

Oh fuck off. I’m a queer woman in a blue state living under the anti democratic electoral college. Hold the fucking democrats responsible for their failures instead of crying to me about something I have ZERO control over. I could of voted for trump, Harris, Mickey Mouse, none of if would fucking matter. My state went to Holocaust Harris no matter who the fuck I voted for.

Blocked.

You know who said fuck you to all the above in your comment? THE DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY REFUSED TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY BY HOLDING LEGITIMATE PRIMARIES. THE BIDEN ADMIN WHEN THEY SLOW WALKED TRUMPS J6 INVESTIGATION. THE DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY SENT A BLANK CHECK TO ISRAEL SUPPORTING THEIR GENOCIDE, SOON TO COME HERE TO AMERICA. but like a fucking fool all you’ll do is vote for them over and over again expecting a different result. THEY brought us fascism. Not a fucking queer woman from vermont you fuck.

It was a fuck you to the US government. As if a party that doesn’t even get 1% of the vote would gain any power.

I guess next time I’ll just not vote, would that be better for you? Or should I continue to be backstabbed by democrats? Would that please you? Anyone who doesn’t support the genocide ticket is a fascist right? Typical lemmy.world user.

I voted for de la Cruz, party for socialism and liberation.

If it’s that easy to support fascism you’re a fascist all along. Typical liberal.
