I think people are less concerned about what you PERSONALLY do and are more concerned about what others do based on what you’re advocating.
I believe in an educated public and giving people the freedom to choose. If you don’t trust society to make informed decisions when presented with multiple options, then I’m not sure what else to say. The fact that you seem to be so against respecting people’s choice to vote for how they want is starting to make me lose respect for you. I mean, I know you don’t care what I think, but I’m just putting that out there. You may think I’m an idiot, but I don’t think you’re one. But I’m def starting to take your opinions less seriously. Not that it matters. You are free to think what you like.
Someone who has already stated he wants to be a dictator on day 1. Who wants detention camps. Who wants war with Mexico.
Enough with the scare tactics. And you know what? I don’t think you actually believe that Trump is going to turn into some dictator rounding people up for death camps or starting wars with Mexico. I think that you just hate him so much, you’ll say whatever it takes to make your point. You don’t want to see him win. That’s fair. But let’s not act like you really believe those wild exaggerations. You just think his presidency will be bad for the country, and that’s fine. But there’s no need to go overboard with these extreme claims. It devalues your argument. And if you DO believe those things, well then, bruh I don’t know what to say. You do you.
But I’m not afraid of Trump. And let me bold for all the haters: I don’t care if he wins or not. I’m not voting for him. Or Harris.
It doesn’t take a mystery death camp for folks from marginalized or at risk communities to see increased risks and degradation of their quality of life/safety. Reviewing his judicial appointments alone is enough to clarify that, in a no nonsense/no scare tactic way.
If he’s president again, that topic alone will continue, and impact the lives of millions in a negative way, for decades to come
I’m very glad you finally went mask off on your privilege driving your decision-making.

I’ve always said I’m not afraid of Trump and that I don’t care about him. My stance on him hasn’t changed at all, so there’s no “mask off” moment happening here. I’m still not voting for him, and I still don’t care if he wins. Plain and simple.
But I’m not voting for Harris. Neither is half of the country. So is half of the country “yikes and pure privilege”?!
The only thing I’ve changed my mind about since being on Lemmy is that I will never vote Democrat again. The hate and vitriol I’ve faced here simply for not supporting Harris has guaranteed that. You guys are far more hostile to different opinions than any Republican I’ve encountered. So congratulations, you did change my mind on that! Happy now?
That you are comfortable with conservative judicial appointments and the influence and consequences that represents. You said as much by saying you are ok with another trump term, and his judicial appointments are not some myth or fearmonger story, they actually happened and that’s the track record.

Kind of hard to expel a million migrants without rounding them up and holding them in prison. Or maybe he’ll skip the due process and just go straight to deporting them?

Fucking yikes at the end. Pure privilege.

Missed the point.
Nope. And I’m still voting third party. Thanks!
Not relevant but cool. That’s pretty much all you say.
You already showed your hand
And what hand do you think I’ve shown? That I’m not voting for the duopoly? :)
That you are comfortable with conservative judicial appointments and the influence and consequences that represents. You said as much by saying you are ok with another trump term, and his judicial appointments are not some myth or fearmonger story, they actually happened and that’s the track record.
I’m not voting republican. So not my fault. Half of the country isn’t voting for your candidate. Accept it.
I’m not voting Republican or Democrat. So try again.

Are you saying you don’t believe trump when he says these things?
Dude is full on copying hitler’s rhetoric and he’s been doing it since 2016 and you’re like… “you’re exaggerating!”….?!?

Ok, well if you believe he’s actually gonna be a hitler dictator type, then nothing I can say will convince you otherwise.
I’m not scared of him. I’m not voting for him. And I’m not voting for Harris.
I don’t think he’s “gonna be”. He is.
Hitler didn’t immediately start the extermination campaign after the beer hall putsch, ya know.
Your history teacher has failed you.
I’m not afraid of Trump. I don’t care. :)
