Why I Want Kamala to WinChris Cutrone1 November 2024I don’t want to be a target.If Trump wins, “cis-gender straight white males” will be blamed -- perhaps also “gay” ones like me. We have had 8 years of attempted reeducation of the population to try to prevent the election of anyone like Trump ever again. Schoolchildren have been told in no uncertain terms that they are guilty for our bad, bad society. Trump paints a target on me.Evidently, cis-gender (straight) white males are the largest marke

It's not what you would expect.

    That's a fair point, but that's the article as I understand it. Maybe I read it wrong, but he spends the entire time acknowledging it to be a lie, that's why I said he admits Kamala is lying. He is at one step rejecting it, and the other embracing it. I think the issue here is a disconnect on what I meant and how you interpreted it, I probably could have worded my point better. Thank you for pointing that out.

    So he's not saying it'll actually happen. Of all things he's rejecting the "40k Ork logic" that you're trying to pin on him. It sounds more like he's lamenting that 'If Democrats weren't lying, maybe Kamala Harris winning would lead to better circumstances, but they are lying.'

    Emphasis mine.

    This is more or less what I'm saying. He writes this as he wishes it to be, he says he wants Kamala to win so he's no longer a target and hopes everything gets better, even if he knows better. That's the 40k Ork logic at work.

    That being said, I'll add the final "but it is a lie." I left it out because I believed it to be redundant, but for transparency I'll include it.
