        Now that you mention it, we have genocide nicknames for the Biden and Harris administration but not yet for Trump.

        Any suggestions? Needs to be catchy that starts with a T or D

          It works on liberals because they pretend to be the “good” cop. Give something similar to Trump and you’ll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.

        Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.

        Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.

        I cant say the same for a lot of other people.

          I mean, you say that, but even straight white guys often have wives and/or daughters.

          I know what you mean, but I think lying under racism is classism, and the trumpers are a party to service rich people. I doubt they will take care of their “base”. Did Trump do anything for the impoverished whites last time? I dont remember.

    Not encouraging in the context of implementing harm reduction in the short time we have left. This stupid old fuck is going to smile and nod his way into the grave while wishing us all the best.

    Right, for him when Trump or Harris wins, the election is fair and transparent.

    I’m sorry for the conspiracy tone, but they do keep playing you for fools.

    Rich dems and republicans, we’re all friends you see. We only differ in the degree of our ideology. We’re not actually opposed. We’ll all be fine. In fact we’re all going to the country club for a round of golf and some champagne later today. You poor suckers are screwed as always, but that’s life.

      Well I guess that if your only opportunity of touching grass is at a country club, then they’re the most out of touch Americans who probably still think video games cause violence and swear Harvard is the best place for their kids/grandkids even though it was historically a puritan group who hated the idea of religious freedom. I guess when it comes to the top we aren’t all that different, so when it comes to the bottom and (the seemingly non-existent) middle classes they want us to hate each other yet come together like they do, but forget to realize that half of these lower class folks will likely commit acts of terror for a free tank of gas and a pack of marlboro reds. Inequality by class is the worst when nobody upper class even tries to see it.
