While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

    It’s really scary to me, as a trans person with many trans friends, how eager much of the far left is to write us off as sacrifices. I guess my life doesn’t matter to you because I’m a “precious white American” (and this disingenuous horseshit totally ignores the fact that POC trans Americans will undoubtedly be the most affected).

    But hey, at least I can feel as I draw my last tortured breaths in a christo-fascist deathcamp some solace in knowing that online tankies got to feel satisfaction in helping punish Biden by helping elect an honest-to-god fascist.

      The Palestinians are drawing their last tortured breaths in death camps right now. It’s not hyperbole to write off someone else.

      No one is threatening to create death camps in America, but Gaza is currently littered with dead bodies. I guess it’s a sacrifice you’re willing to make.

      Rather condone the Genocide of millions of innocents than advocate for change you would prefer not taking any risk and having them certainly murdered with support of the Biden regime?

      It’s pretty astounding to me that people do not consider Biden a Christo-Fascist yet. As he as actively trying to reach some Christian Zionist goals

        Jezuz fuck, having a black-and-white worldview must be so freeing; not having to clutter your beautiful mind with things like FUCKING COMPLEXITY

          What do you think about the Nazi’s? Do you know who won the German election in 1933? What about the Spanish civil war? Surely you don’t have a black and white opinion on the Nazi’s like just saying “they are evil for committing Genocide” right?
