Men on the internet have tried to argue me into accepting that I am threatened by trans women. I still don’t get it.

I’m all for stomping out fascism, but I gotta say… saving people who want others fed to the leopards isn’t even on my list of reasons why.
Attention
Well yeah, I mean… since when isn’t it expected for Trump to be weird?
To me the weirdest thing isn’t how they still support him, it’s how little it seems the rest of US could care.
It’s like the thing with Nigerian scammers and how they weed out the folks who aren’t gullible and get fat off the rest. The flamboyant absurdity that turns off normies is what attracts his victims (this is the first time I’ve actually thought of his voters as victims). I’m also reminded of whale sharks and how they filter out water and get fat off the plankton.
But where are the Democrats in this? There’s no adversarial someone out there between a scammer or filter feeder and their prey. And sure, the people that are going to vote for him aren’t going to listen to a Dem. But what about the entire apathetic electorate? That’s the seawater Trump is using to filter feed on his victims. Without that apathy he can’t win. If only there were some way Democratic electeds could reduce apathy amongst the American people. Some way that wouldn’t upset donors, that is.
sigh
I’m afraid it’ll be voter apathy vs whale shark scammer this November.
But how? Democrats have been trying to get the media to discuss what they want when they want for like 4 decades now. Mainstream media has decided it’s on the side of business and Dems are bad for that (I disagree, but then I’m not a CEO, just someone who can read a chart), so how do you get them talking about the benefits of (D) actions instead of just the drawbacks they want to highllight in the 3 minute segment they only agreed to just to show how unrealistic or expensive or whatever they think those actions are?
It would be sweet, if Trump’s downfall comes
He would have had to have to focus his criming on one criminal act, in one jurisdiction. He’s crimed all over the place, in a variety of ways. The legal systems are just responding to that. I don’t know how you expect crimes in Georgia to be ignored because he’s committed crimes in New York, for example.
All of them are caused by idiot Republicans being idiots would be my guess!
But google says 21 of them in the last 5 decades, or 14 since 1980, or 4 since 2010… depending on the article and how far you want to go back.
Good luck trying to convince anyone there’s lots of Americans who A) didn’t even have a single tattered shred of concern regarding Trump family members’ unchecked corruption while being actual White House advisers and B) are actually very concerned about the wealthy getting away with shit.
I mean you’re gonna need Trump levels of salesmanship to get anyone to buy that, and it just don’t seem like you’ve got it. Y’all never do. Thank goodness… one Trump is more than enough.
And “privileged minority”? Like, Jesus fucking Christ my guy.
Ok, if they were confining that to Hamas maybe it would be good news. But how many Palestinians were “eliminated” on the way to delivering you your “good news”. How many dead children? How many doctors, teachers, drivers, grandparents have been eliminated to bring you this good news?
I just don’t think that Israeli lives are any more or less important than Palestinian lives. So murdering 30,000 Gazans doesn’t seem like remotely good news to me.
But then again I’m not a bloodthirsty bigot.
Palestine doesn’t even have an army. What war are you talking about?
This is more a “special military operation” as retaliation for a terrorist attack. Because this ain’t a war, it’s a massacre of mostly innocent people. I mean… they’re literally targeting children. And the ambulance trying to reach them.
How?
In what kind of way is trying to get a president to change his mind on helping to destroy Gaza and its people anything like bringing in a bunch of Young Republicans to stop counting legitimate votes in order to steal an election?
Like, even just on vibes alone… how?
That’s not what racism is.

If they ain’t up to the task, then they could just quit. I don’t see the problem.
I stopped caring about Apple a few decades ago.
No, I don’t know any of that. Some of those words are familiar, tho. Sorry, I ain’t had a Windows partition on my own personal computer since… damn I forgot what the one before 7 was called - Vista! We still had the family gaming PC, and I stayed buying games during steam and gog sales (even tho I mostly played on consoles - Nintendos and PlayStations only, lol) but I guess I haven’t actually been on it since Windows 8 and I hated it so much! But it’s gone now anyway, cannibalized for parts. Only 1 kid left at home, he’s got his own PC, and I don’t even know what version of windows he’s running. It’s hilarious, go back a few decades and I was free windows tech support for everyone, but now I don’t even know how to Windows.
And look, I’m probably just a trash monster. Like, I’m playing Just Cause 4 on my PS4 right now. And I play plenty of other trash (but also some good games) on my Garuda (it’s based on arch, btw - installed by my husband who has only ever installed windows in his life, with very minimal input from me) gaming PC. I also have the steam deck, but once my son donated parts after his latest PC upgrade, the steam deck just mostly gets picked up to do a little update every so often - but I’m about to go on a trip (and the switch has already been claimed)! To be fair to the steam deck, I mostly don’t even power on my gaming PC, as I really love my PS4 (I can’t stand the PS5 and usually only get on it to help my grandson when he’s here) and my rarely-turned-off MX Linux PC (I don’t hate the KDE of Garuda, but there’s a reason I use an XFCE-based distro as my daily driver).
I might be a gaming addict. But Microsoft hasn’t had anything to offer me since like, George W Bush was president. And even then, it was steam then gog who really had stuff to offer me on the PC. And in the console department, they ain’t ever had anything I’ve wanted, maybe my hands are too small or something but I’ve always hated the Xbox controller.
Right-wingers only actually being right about anything when they “think” they’re grossly distorting the truth for a “joke” that ain’t ever funny… where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, everywhere. Like, it must be day that ends with a Y or something.
