Communism

nah, i don’t buy it. you don’t vote for a fascist because someone else wants trans rights unless you yourself are opposed to trans rights (for example). i think the country went hard right because the people who were always marginalized were getting ‘uppity’ by demanding fair treatment, and this upset those who feel like extending rights to marginalized people somehow infringes on their ‘right’ to engage in discriminatory behaviour.

i think when a black person was elected president, a whole bunch of bigots were like, “this civil rights thing is going too far”
