Sorry to be like THIS, but I would like to add that queer ppl in fandoms have been sounding the alarm of a remarkable rise in puritanism, calls for queer perfection/erasure, blatant misogyny, and harrassment of LGBTQ+ ppl of color since Voltron season 1 (aka, 2016).
โItโs illegalโ will never stop being the worst reason people give to do anything
Itโs illegal to be trans in Florida
Itโs illegal to perform life-saving health care on pregnant people in half of America
Itโs illegal to be gay in half the world
Take your illegality & stuff it
If Harris had stopped a town hall and played music for 20 minutes, swaying like a sunflower in the wind, they would have broken into prime time programming with a special report that the democratic candidate had lost her mind.
One of the reasons Democrats are more anxious about the election is because if Trump wins we lose rights, a strong economy, healthcare, democracy -- and if Harris wins Trump supporters lose... literally nothing. They'll claim otherwise, but they objectively don't lose a thing.
Keep in mind, Amy Coney Barrett has said that given the chance, she would reverse Brown v Board of Education, because, she says, the Constitution does not provide a protected right to an education.

The kids are not alright bro the kids are making Hitler youth posters calling for the death of people who don't think you should go to jail for making art people don't like
The kids are calling for the death of people who make art they don't like
Honestly....it's not just covid we ignore. It's how the food in the US is just casually poisonous. It's the microplastics & forever chemicals. It's how we've just accepted car accidents all the time as normal. It's all the viruses we accepted before & denial of post-viral illness
The BIGGEST CON in history has been how WEALTHY WHITE GOP MEN have convinced POOR and MIDDLE CLASS WHITES that they are ON THE SAME SIDE. They use their connection with CHRISTIANITY and RACISM as a FAKE BOND to get their VOTES, and then KICK THEM TO THE CURB. It's powerful.
Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 50 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action.
Global warming isnโt a tragedy, itโs a crime.
The more I talk about the election the more shocked I am by how many people memory holed 2016-2020. Every day was a new horror. New emergencies popped up constantly. I fundamentally donโt understand how people seemingly forgot about all of it.
