I agree that right now Trans people are the target and the scapegoat.
If anyone on this site is doing the kinds of things you are talking about, please report it. That would be something we’d want to look into to make sure that someone wasn’t being an asshole and breaking Rule #0 here.
But please try to keep your comments less aggro, and a hell of a lot more civil.

They’re not tyrants. That’s what they like to think of themselves but they’re just old dumb sheep carrying out the wills of their real masters. Fat rich ghouls who were on a first name basis with Epstein. You’re not a rebel, you’re not a revolutionary, there is no day of the rope coming, life is just going to get worse as public services become even more incompetent and Republicans fuck up the economy like they always do.

On a more serious note, I feel like it’s to make those who aren’t cis men as uncomfortable as possible. I didn’t say straight because they are obsessed with other’s people’s junk so I’m party convinced they love dick but are in denial about it and are making it everyone else’s problem.

I just want the LARP to stop. Everyone is pretending we didn’t already endure 4 years of Trump’s incompetence. We survived it then, we’ll survive it again. Life will be shitty and get shitter but there won’t be roving bands of death squads killing people who don’t look 100% white

Trump didn’t promise to be a dictator nor was Project 2025 revealed back than. And even if we do survive, it would likely be less the nation breaking an arm and more losing both arms and a leg. Surviving means nothing if your crippled beyond true recovery in the process.

I doubt the Trump team is smart enough to effectively enact that sort of change. I’m sure there are some dullards in his team who want to create a fascist government, but it’s most likely that they’ll trip and fall on their face in their attempt. This IS the president that failed to pass a healthcare plan multiple times despite having a majority in the house and the senate. Republicans are just too stupid to do anything right, they’re good at dog whistling to get the inbred trailer park trogs to vote for them but little else.

They weren’t killed by death squads. They died because our country fucking sucks. Things are just going to continue to rot and get worse but there won’t be a dystopia or anything. Just shitty politicians fleecing money from the gullible

The worse that’ll most likely happen is that they repeal Obamacare but fail to replace it with anything. Privatize social security. And maybe make gay marriage illegal again but that’s a big if.

I was just talking about his apathy. I don’t think it’s exactly rule breaking, it just leads to the emboldenment of the fascists. I think it’s a political disagreement. Going to reply to his reply, if it’s okay. I’ll stop if it’s determined to break any rules.

So, the “real masters” whose will they’re carrying out the wills they’re carrying out are the pedophile island visitors that own all of the wealth and who control everything in Washington, but they also aren’t tyrants?

What’s the LARP? Advocating for civil disobedience, which is as simple as refusing to stop doing things that used to be legal?
Also, a lot of people didn’t survive Trump’s first term. But regardless, Meanlucario is correct to point out that he’s been promising his second term would be worse. He already announced his plans to declare a state of emergency on day one to deport all the undocumented immigrants, and has also suggested he wants to revoke the citizenship of legal immigrants.
But anything can look good if you cover your eyes and pretend it’s not happening, so I guess it won’t be so bad.

They’re not tyrants, they’re just corrupt assholes. Calling them tyrants is exactly what they want you to do. They’re too weak, stupid, and pathetic to be tyrants.
And “civil disobedience” don’t make me laugh. Dumb rich students with more time on their hands then they know what to do with have been engaging in “civil disobedience” all year and what have they accomplished? Nothing. What did they accomplish before when Trump was in office? Even more nothing.
I’m not saying things will be better or stay the same, I’m saying the evil will be banal. We’ll grow poorer while they grow richer. People will die but it won’t be from death camps, it’ll be because they can’t afford medical care or food.

Please re-read the special rules for this thread in the first post.
This is a containment zone for politics on this site - a cesspool for people who for some reason feel that a My Little Pony fan site is the right place to discuss politics.
Enforcement of ALL of our rules in this thread is much faster, and much less nuanced, than anywhere on the site.
Elsewhere on the site, we will do what we can to talk with people if they are breaking rules or otherwise having behavioral issues like acting out or attacking others.
In this thread we just ban you.
The whole point of this thread, for us, is to permit someplace for this community to CIVILY discuss politics, while spending as little time as possible moderating this thread.

Power back again

Not only will people not have medical care, but our cis women population will be forced to carry babies in a country without proper medical care.
To everyone who voted for Trump Goodluck.
Prepare for taxation without representation.

Truth is, I’m mostly just venting from my frustrations. I can’t help but feel like I’ve been betrayed, betrayed by the fools I looked up to, and backstabbed by the very people I wanted to help. The people who were content with sitting on their asses and content with the idea of a rapist running for president again. I’ve given up on democracy. If the people are too stupid to know what’s good for them, then fuck the people.

The ruling class, you’re talking about here? Yeah, I don’t see it. Do tyrants even exist in modern day if they can’t aptly be called that?
And “civil disobedience” don’t make me laugh. Dumb rich students with more time on their hands then they know what to do with have been engaging in “civil disobedience” all year and what have they accomplished? Nothing. What did they accomplish before when Trump was in office? Even more nothing.
Civil disobedience, as in continuing to use the bathrooms that align with their gender identity, helping pregnant people cross state lines to get an abortion even if the state government forbids it, and hiding undocumented immigrants from ICE. It accomplishes people having freedom and using that freedom, even if the laws in the books forbid it.
I’m not saying things will be better or stay the same, I’m saying the evil will be banal. We’ll grow poorer while they grow richer. People will die but it won’t be from death camps, it’ll be because they can’t afford medical care or food.
And what’s your actual idea for what to do about that? I’m advocating ignoring unjust laws. That means that if it’s the only option available, you can steal food and medicine to help people who need it.

Okay. I think I was pretty civil here. Not trying to get personal or insulting.

I understand that, actually. No disrespect intended. You can reply to me if you want to, but I won’t keep it going myself anymore.

Moderators can see who you are. We can see your interactions with others on the site, and with the site itself.
If it helps, please expand your definition of ‘civil’ to include behavior beyond whether or not you are personal or insulting.
I have now spent more time on this one thing that I want to. The next warning will be a ban.

All I’m going to say is, please for the love of God DO NOT HIDE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. You can be charged with human trafficking or whatever law some sleazy cop or judge feels like slamming you with. Plus you already talked about it so don’t do it since it’ll be even easier for them to prove you did it.
