Ah, so you were actually posting an inspiring message about the power of one person to make a difference if they work for change, and the vital importance of getting involved in activism beyond electoral politics at this pivotal point in history. Silly me, how could I have misunderstood.
Probably because you got called out so you got focused on that without accepting it and asking, "ok I was wrong, but what should I do then?". Instead you focused on defending yourself.
Defending myself against fascism winning in this election, yes. Absolutely, 100%. I plan to continue to do so.
the united states is not the beacon of freedom it shows itself to be in movies. it is an oppressive regime that is illegally occupying the hawaiian islands. what are you defending? is it perhaps your rights? your rights are secured by the exploitation of millions if not billions of people.
voting didn't get people to take LGBTQ+ people seriously. it took a riot and anti-police action. history was not won by votes.
