Will you be volunteering for the work camp or do they need to come and get you? 😅

There won't be any work camps. Gay people won't be lined up on the streets and tattooed and shipped off. There will still be elections. And we'll have a different president in 2028.

And see, I think you know all of this, but that you think it's fun hyperbole to jump on.

You know what I think is really gonna change with a Trump presidency? Nothing. It's going to be same shit, different day. Just like we get now.

Harris wasn't going to change shit. Trump won't change shit. Both parties like things just exactly how they are.

I proudly voted Socialist. And even more happy about it now. Because I stuck to my morals, even against all the hate I was getting here on Lemmy. And here we are.

And what's really ironic is that people here on Lemmy HATED that I was voting third party. And you know what I'm seeing all over the place on Lemmy now? I'm seeing variations of "We need a third party!" and "Fuck this! I'm voting third party from now on!" and "Fuck this two-party system!"

I was correct then. I'm correct now. I haven't change my mind at all. Looks like Lemmy is starting to though.

I wish that AOC and Bernie would team up, start a new third party, and kick some ass. I don't think it'll happen, but would be awesome if it would!

And I'm saying be open to the idea that it's fearmongering. There are plenty of gay republicans. They aren't gonna line up gay people. Stop.

It’s not just gay people. It’s gonna be undocumented people, and then anyone they deem as anti-American.

We’re gonna have work camps. Wake up.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

We won't. I promise. In fact, I'll save this comment and we can update it regularly. Deal?

[–] whithom 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Fine. One work camp and you admit I’m right.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, and you have admit you're wrong if they don't show up. Go ahead and save this message on your end too.

[–] whithom 1 points 16 hours ago

I would be ecstatic to admit I was wrong in this case. 4 years.

MOst of the rollbacks are going to happen either by Trump or court order. The law mixes under gender and sex which are not the same. They need congress to change it. Biden overstepped.

Same thing happen when the Trump admin tried to change machine gun with bump stocks.

I hope you’re right.
