their lives will be slightly less impacted than mine thanks to biden, clinton, both bushes & obamas' support for executive order 10450; don't ask, don't tell; defensive of marriage act; student loan debt; draconian immigration policy & blocking truly affordable EV's with tariffs.

i've had the joy of experiencing my life partner deported; my life along with my livelihood dismantled; arrested for simply being brown, gay & willing to stand up for myself; losing multiple jobs because of those laws; and then trapped into inescapable debt until i die because of those & policies laws that every single one of those guys fully supported (and created) up until they needed my vote.

if they're not american; then they get to experience genocide and a coup d'etat's; all fully supported by those same people.

if you're referring to project 2025; then you should know that it's been in existence since 1980 and every single one of those politicians; especially biden; have enacted nearly 75% of project 2025's recommendations since then; it's not the boogeyman that they told you to be afraid of.

Anyone complaining about all the terrible things that might happen to people under Trump hasn't been in Texas or Florida over the last four years.

It's nauseating to see Democrats throw their liberal fellows in arms under the bus, election cycle after election cycle, on the grounds that they deserve to suffer for having a fascist governor.

Terrifying. At this point I'd probably ask for asylum somewhere else.

Gay marriage was also illegal in Mexico; I would have been deported and that doesn't even consider that I wouldn't be able to make a living so we would both be dependent on his income which is unrealistic since pay rates there average around $300 per month for all my relatives.

Didn't know Mexico was as backwards as the US :( I guess my view of Mexico was too romantic and to be scratched off my bucket-list. I'm sorry man :(

It was almost 15 years ago now so the pity isn't necessary, but thanks for saying nonetheless.

SSM was legalized under ALMO back in 2022. Incidentally, quite a few Americans absolutely hate ALMO for falling to endorse the continued embargoes of Cuba and Venezuela, and the genocide in Gaza.
