An embarrassing number of people keep saying ignorant shit like, "I don't really see much difference between Trump and Harris. It's business as usual either way."

Um...

Here, let me help you with that. ( -.-)\(^◡^ )

Donald Trump:

• promoted QAnon
• is a climate change denier
• claims immigrants poison America
• is endorsed by the KKK, the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Moms for Liberty
• plans a mass deportation of perfectly legal immigrants
• is racist, misogynistic, homophobic, Islamophobic, antisemitic, lookist and ableist
• ridiculed a reporter with a disability
• told his nephew that disabled people should die
• is a five time draft dodger who calls people who served, like my dad, suckers and losers
• had a henchman attack an Arlington official rather than obey the rules there
• tear-gassed peaceful protestors so he could have a photo-op while holding the Bible
• totally failed America during the covid pandemic
• raped E. Jean Carroll
• is accused of sexually harassing at least 40 other women
• paid hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels
• is guilty of treason for inciting an insurrection at the US capitol
• tried to overturn election results in Georgia
• keeps hundreds of stolen classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home
• is under investigation by the state of New York for financial fraud
• faces an additional 54 felony counts for 3 outstanding federal and state indictments
• stacked the Supreme Court with corrupt judges who gave him immunity from prosecution
• evidently needs to commit crimes in the official performance of his duties as President
• if you need to commit a crime to do your job, you're doing it wrong
• refuses to legally license music used at his rallies
• those are just the things I can remember off the top of my head

Kamala Harris:

• seems to be sane
• has never been accused of a crime


Do I even need to mention Project 2025 and Agenda 47 anymore? Seriously, people...use your fucking brains! (ง︡'-'︠)ง

For the love of God, vote blue. Our survival as a nation and a democracy depends on it, no lie. It's ridiculously simple: democracy vs. dictatorship. This is a no-brainer. ヘ( ´Д`)ノ

Let's be crystal clear on this.

Republican is a political party, and I have nothing whatsoever against Republicans. My father is one. But like any sane person, he despises Trump.

Trump is not a Republican. He's a MAGAT.

MAGA is a cult and a hate group. A misogynistic, homophobic, white supremacist, "Christian" nationalist, anti-democratic, anti-woke hate group.

So there's been yet another school shooting, this time in Georgia, and Vance says shootings are just a fact of life. Reality begs to differ with him. Funny, but when I was growing up there were no school shootings. There was the very distant memory of that nut in the tower at the University of Texas, but strangely no one remembers that one anymore since there have been so many others lately.

Evidently I'm not alone... )

The only reason that someone--anyone--can't see the difference at this point between a rapist/insurrectionist and a woman who's never committed any crimes is because that person is a misogynist. So I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore. I'm just so fucking tired of it. (ง︡'-'︠)ง

Like everyone else lately, I'm scrambling to figure out what a tradwife is thanks to Vance. I remember this now. It has a new name, but it's the same old oppressed fundie wife we've seen so many times before: a victim of Biblical gender roles and the rejection of the Proverbs 31 woman who buys her own vineyards, works outside the home and employs servants. I wrote a book on these pathetic fembots once, but no one liked what I had to say. I have some thoughts...

• tradwives and housewives are not the same thing
• housewives are not infantilized women
• housewives certainly don't speak in a phony, breathy baby voice
• housewives don't submit to their husbands
• housewives don't waste time making everything from scratch
• housewives just live their lives without trying to indoctrinate other women
• housewives don't teach their daughters it's sinful to go to college
• housewives don't teach their daughters to depend solely on a man
• housewives aren't opposed to working outside the home
• housewives aren't opposed to female independence and bodily autonomy
• housewives are allowed to have male friends
• housewives are allowed to keep the money they earn
• housewives have their own bank accounts
• tradwives do have the right to choose their lifestyle
• tradwives should not have the right to impose their lifestyle on their daughters
• their daughters have the right to choose their own lifestyle
• they cannot choose wisely if they haven't experienced any other way of life
• fundies aren't actually Christians since they reject the egalitarianism of Christ
