i dont really care if people online take me seriously or not. im honest and truthful in my statements and if people dont like them oh well. thats me. im not putting up a facade or being peer pressured to not be who i am. if that means people dont take me seriously so be it.
Listen, I think people should vote with who they think best stands by their beliefs. Whether it’s flat out not voting, write in, a third party, or either of the major candidates. I think conviction > political theater or virtue signaling, etc. I think three of the options are a wasted vote, and the political climate is only going to be more divisive and races are going to be closer and closer and increasingly important every cycle, but I think people should go with their gut. I personally wouldn’t vote for Kamala, if I wasn’t in a purple state, but I’m playing lesser evilism here because the alternative is truly something I do not want. I am a bit more concerned with my local and state elections, though, fwiw.

But your reasoning of vitriol and name calling should also go to the candidate you somehow decided on via interactions on a forum, no? There is only one of the two major candidates spouting vitriol and calling their opponents names on a daily basis, and it’s just strange you wouldn’t factor that in as well. I personally think you might just be posting bait, but you understand why people are confused about your logic here, no?

Politics affects everyone, whether they like it or not.

Is the world doomed if Trump wins?
It would be a hell of a lot worse place to live in. Trump would:
  • Easily surrender US to Putin and/or Kim Jong-Un
  • Not care about climate change (complained about clean wind energy or windmills decreasing bacon consumption, remember?)
  • Discriminate non-white races and women
  • Deport millions of immigrants (many of which are the backbone of many jobs and workforce)
  • Increase prices on everything because of increased tariffs and letting greedy corporations to price gouge.
  • Dismantle the Department of Education
  • Put all his opponents in jail like a dictator
  • Tax cuts for his rich allies
  • Tax increase on the middle-class
  • Remove the Affordable Care Act
  • Possibly make it so that voting no longer has any power to elect anyone outside of his corrupt party.
  • etc.
He is a threat to the US and would definitely affect the entire world as an extension of the US's global influence.

Of course, if he does become elected, he won't be "leading" for long with his deteriorating physical and mental state. He'll let his cronies handle it as outlined in Project 2025.

In the short term, probably just Palestinians and Ukrainians. In the long term, yes. SCOTUS is willing to toss out any/all of the constitution at Trump's behest, and he's openly admitted that his dream is to become a dictator like Xi Jinping or Putin. The EU wouldn't last long if the US started helping China and Russia to undermine it, either.

The mere mention of being a dictator on Day 1 should make people tremble, because when has a dictator willingly given up or reduced their power of dictatorship?
