>You don’t give a shit about queer people
with respect, I am the authority about my values.
Nope. Bigots don't get to decide they aren't bigots. That's not how it works.
You don't give a shit about queer people.
again, with respect, you can't determine my values. i decide what i value.
A absolutely can determine that you don't give a shit about queer people.
It is obvious that none of this concerns you enough to act on it:
At CPAC in 2023, Daily Wire host Michael Knowles gave a speech where he said, "Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level." In response to people who said that he was calling for genocide, Knowles stated that "nobody [was] calling to exterminate anybody".[25] As part of his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed to stop gender-affirming care for minors, calling it "child mutilation."[26] Project 2025, a document outlining intended conservative policies, called "purveyors" of "transgender ideology[. . .]child predators and misogynistic exploiters of children."[27] Project 2025 conflates transgender people with pornography, and calls for pornography to be outlawed, for teachers and librarians who talk about transgender people to be imprisoned, and all telecommunications that allows transgender people to talk on it to be shuttered.[28]
...
Some US laws have been described, including by journalists Emily St. James and Katelyn Jones, as meeting criteria mentioned in the United Nations definition of genocide, including laws banning gender-affirming care ("causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"), and those allowing child protective services to pursue child abuse claims against the parents of children receiving gender-affirming care and remove said children ("forcibly transferring children of the group to another group").[33][34]

If you gave a shit about queer people, you would be doing everything in your power to keep Republicans out of office, including their presidential candidate to stop this genocide.
But this isn't a convenient genocide for you to accuse people of supporting, this is a genocide of "icky" people. So that's an acceptable genocide.
Because you don't give a shit about queer people.
i don't believe voting for biden is an effective way to act on it. that doesn't mean i don't care.
Sorry... you don't think voting for Biden is an effective way to stop Trump and the Republicans from implementing project 2025?
You're either insane or you don't give a shit about queer people. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and saying the latter.
But do tell me what you have done about the current queer genocide specifically being perpetrated by Republicans.
>Sorry… you don’t think voting for Biden is an effective way to stop Trump and the Republicans from implementing project 2025?
no. the republicans will work toward that no matter how i vote, and biden has been in power in washington for the 50 years that lead to the current state. i don't believe voting for him will stop any of it.
Got it. You are an insane person who thinks that not having Trump in office will allow Trump to implement his plan.
I apologize for saying you're a bigot. You're just unhinged.
trump didn't write p2025. it's the republican machine, which will maintain basically all of its power regardless of the outcome in november, which will be implementing it.
Yes, I understand that you're a crazy person who thinks that Republicans can pass the required laws and executive orders for Project 2025 to be implemented without holding on to the executive branch. You've made that clear.
they already control some of the states, legislature-and-executive, as well as many of the courts at the state and federal level. having the presidency would make some of the proposals easier, but not guaranteed. having biden in office would make things harder for them, but not a sure loss.
and the difference, that gap between what is inevitable and what is possible-but-not-guaranteed by a trump victory is incredibly slim. further, as i said before, it was democrats who made this system possible, and joe biden has a great deal of the responsibility himself.
so there is no rational case that voting for biden will make things better.
