If you genuinely think things aren't worse under Trump whilst simultaneously claiming you speak facts then I don't know that you are capable of reason. Couple that with your apologia for excusing voting against fascism and its very obvious you're about as left wing as Thatcher wasn't.
Worse for whom?
Things haven't changed a bit for my indigenous neighbors. They are being fucked over just as hard now, as before...
My black neighbors have noticed just as much now as before, cops still abusing their community and their still being ignored economically.
So, worse for white people? Sure.
Worse for non cis people, worse for women, worse for education, worse for immigrants, worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president. Worse for people watching him dismantle all opposition and ultimately worse for anyone who thinks they're going to be able to protest any of this. The fact he hasn't made things worse for your neighbours is because he hasn't got around to it yet. Were less than 6 months in.
The reason it's not worse for my neighbors, is because they were already under attack by your beloved liberal republic, and have been for centuries.
My what? Are you a child?
I'm fully aware they've been under attack for a long time. I'm saying under fascism it'll get worse. Both for them and for everyone else.
"Vote for genocide or we'll beat you up again"
That's essentially what you're saying right now
It seems like it's mostly getting worse for white, cishet people. Queer people were already under attack, and being lynched. We've been hammering on immigrants for like... 30 or so years now. etc etc.
Your beloved liberal republic here, the one that loves to genocide people, loves to be racist, loves to put dollars over humans, and loves to start wars to topple democratic societies abroad.
So yes, you are. Got it.
So, you really have nothing to retort...
Tell me: Is it better or worse, that the US is not longer doing imperialism as hard in their homes?
