    Worse for whom?

    Things haven’t changed a bit for my indigenous neighbors. They are being fucked over just as hard now, as before…

    My black neighbors have noticed just as much now as before, cops still abusing their community and their still being ignored economically.

    So, worse for white people? Sure.

      Worse for non cis people, worse for women, worse for education, worse for immigrants, worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president. Worse for people watching him dismantle all opposition and ultimately worse for anyone who thinks they’re going to be able to protest any of this. The fact he hasn’t made things worse for your neighbours is because he hasn’t got around to it yet. Were less than 6 months in.

        Worse for non cis people

        How so, specifically, that wasn’t happening prior?

        worse for women

        Same. How so, specifically?

        worse for education

        Public education, to put in the words of Lupe Fiasco:

        “Your child’s future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut The school was garbage in the first place, that’s on the up and up”

        Brown people in the US have always gotten the shit end of the stick, with public education.

        worse for immigrants

        What if I told you that Biden was deporting people at a faster rate than Trump is?

        worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president

        Like, which countries? Palestine was being genocided before Trump was elected. And we’ve been raping under developed nations for a long time. Frankly, a lot of those nations are getting a break now, with Trump’s focus on turning the imperialism inwards.

          many of the most emblematic coup d’états were sponsored by dems in power. brazil in 64 and 2016, bay of pigs invasion in cuba in 61, south vietnam in 63, greece in 67, dominican republic in 63 and 65, argentina in 66, bolivia in 79, south korea in 61 and 79, honduras in 2009, paraguay in 2012…

          I’ve got zero interest in discussing anything with people so foolish they tie themselves in knots to absolve fascism and Trump. Its literally pointless.

            You have zero interest because every time you try you make an ass of yourself and start defending genocide

        The reason it’s not worse for my neighbors, is because they were already under attack by your beloved liberal republic, and have been for centuries.

          My what? Are you a child?

          I’m fully aware they’ve been under attack for a long time. I’m saying under fascism it’ll get worse. Both for them and for everyone else.

            It seems like it’s mostly getting worse for white, cishet people. Queer people were already under attack, and being lynched. We’ve been hammering on immigrants for like… 30 or so years now. etc etc.

            My what? Are you a child?

            Your beloved liberal republic here, the one that loves to genocide people, loves to be racist, loves to put dollars over humans, and loves to start wars to topple democratic societies abroad.

                So, you really have nothing to retort…

                Tell me: Is it better or worse, that the US is not longer doing imperialism as hard in their homes?

        Better for all the people who were already being brutalized by the USA empire and are happy to see it collapse though.
