Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.

    I guess being a Muslim and feeling pain when I see a dead baby is “privilege” nowadays. Have you considered the idea that for some people not funding a genocide is more important than anything else? You can’t keep bombing the middle east, say “orange man bad” and expect people to vote for you. I don’t give a shit at this point. I’ll vote for whoever’s running against a person who took a dime from AIPAC.

      Weird guess, but no.

      Privilege is knowing that not voting for Biden increases the risk of a Trump presidency, and making that choice anyways. The only way it isn’t is if you genuinely believe Trump would be better.

      Orange man is bad. Of course he is.

        Oh I didn’t say I’m not voting for Biden. Read again. I said I’m voting for whoever’s running against a person that took a dime from AIPAC. Fuck anyone who thinks what’s going on in Palestine is acceptable. Things wouldn’t have come to this point if morons like you actually spoke up and protested against Biden instead of calling people idiots for not voting for him. But your privileged ass didn’t do shit for genocide and now want people to go crazy over LGBTQ rights.

          If you’re voting for Biden, then you’re pretty clearly not the type of person I’m calling privileged, right?

          Don’t call me a moron. And don’t claim that I didn’t speak out against Biden. Be better than that.

            Fuck off with your privilege bullshit. You don’t know any of the people you’re talking to. Straight up character assassination.

      “I don’t like the guy who’s not cutting off funding to Israel because he thinks a soft touch is needed to talk them off the ledge, so I’m going to let the guy who handed them East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights back into office.”

      That’s what fetishizers think any muslims or arabs (because they are not the same thing l3anhon’allah!!!) will do here and cite to justify letting “orange man” back into office.

      Do you really think orange stain isn’t going to start absolutely pouring money into Israel? If you think it’s bad now

      In the US we are currently stuck with a 2 party system, a vote for any third party candidate is a throwaway vote in a presidential election.

        Actually, voting for a 3rd party is almost always a vote for Trump. The people talking about abstaining or voting 3rd party are overwhelmingly of progressive mindset.

          so it’s not a vote for trump at all. in fact, he’s running on the republican ticket, so a vote for a so-called third party would be a vote against him.

          Nope z that isn’t how math works. You make the incorrect assumption that those people would ok d vote for Democrats if they didn’t have a choice, which all dats shows is wrong.

          A vote for a third party is equivalent to not voting. That’s a fucking fact z and I’m sick of you liars trump to bully people into voting for your corporate protofascist. It’s never worked and never will, but that won’t stop you from doing it because it’s so much easier than engaging someone and validating their concerns. A

      I’ll vote for whoever’s running against a person who took a dime from AIPAC.

      In other words, you’ll vote for someone who has zero chance of winning.

      Why bother voting at all?

      By the way, you might want to look up Project 2025 and Trump’s plan to turn the U.S. into a Christian theocracy. You’ll probably feel a lot more pain as a Muslim when it’s happening to you.
