the libs will absolutely lose their minds, the russia shit will go into overdrive, it will be glorious.

and tbh in terms of actual material conditions Trump was pretty standard for US presidents, maybe even slightly above average (still complete dogshit and a war criminal of course).

    Biden is worse than trump but doesn’t encourage/dog whistle racists. So I would prefer trump lose, just for the sake of marginalized communities.

      I disagree. Joe Biden has, if anything, normalized racist policies even further lol

        It’s hard to draw the line between quiet systemic racism and like out in your face fascist racism for sure… I guess there is no difference, but I know I personally feel safer under Biden. With trump there was a time when I contemplated carrying proof of citizenship at all times in case I got scooped up accidentally by ICE just for being Hispanic

        But then I guess with COVID I don’t go anywhere anymore so it’s moot :shrug-outta-hecks:

        And that type of stuff still happened and is happening before and after Trump, there’s just less press coverage. So maybe you’re right

          It's just quieter, we know ICE has more funding than ever under Biden, so behind closed doors there's just as much hate going on.

          But, I understand not wanting to see it blasted at you all the time too

            Yeah I mean to be honest the 80% reduction of flag waving hogs has really been a boon to my psyche. They’re gonna be racist either way but at least now most of them are shutting up about it

              Ah yeah that's solid, I need to keep that perspective on the "harm reduction", if we want to call it that, then as well.

              Comrades psyches are important.

      via legislation and an entire career of racist politics, 'tough on crime' Joe Biden has done more harm actually and rhetorically than Trump. why do you think they made him Obama's VP?
