    I’m sorry what? Fuck off with this bullshit. Kirk and his far right friends are stripping my, and all other queer people’s right, hunting down anyone that looks Mexican or speaks Spanish and deporting them, or worse. There are fucking concentration camps being built. There absolutely is a left and right.

    Yeah, I would have preferred he learn the error of his ways and change his mind to become a decent person. but either way, he can no longer spread his hate, and I’m not complaining about that.

      I wouldn’t contextualize it as such, but I will agree with you that the deportations have not been handled well.

      Sincerely, I’d like to know what queer rights have been stripped. I don’t have my fingers on the pulse of all the various policy changes that have been going on, so I am genuinely curious.

      I challenge you to go out and talk to your friends and family. Ask them if they consider themselves left wing or right wing. And then have them define what left wing or right wing means to them. I guarantee you you will not get the same answer twice.

        As a trans person, I can’t go to the bathroom aligning with my gender in some states, and going to the other bathroom can get my assaulted or worse. Trump made getting a passport with my correct gender marker tricky, if not impossible. Trans minors can’t receive any healthcare related to being trans. They have already been talking about repealing the right for same sex marriage. just the other day some right wing lunatic was talking about detaining all trans people and “studying” us, but you that just means torture and killing us. (That last one was some nobody, but it still somehow made news and was posted on Lemmy.)

        It’s happening right in front of you, open you eyes.

        I don’t need to talk with my friends and family about their political beliefs, we do that regularly. I know where my friends and family stand. Some of them are not as far left as I am, but everyone I regularly choose to spend time with hates what’s happening now.
