it is fascinating seeing ppl say "if you still vote biden just bc he's protected trans rights youre putting your own rights above that of the other people he'll kill" bc i'm like. well that operates under the assumption the Not Biden Option won't be killing those same other people Plus Trans People and given the history of presidents i would say that is a. how should i say this. wild fucking assumption? like idk framing it as "hello transgender, would you rather kill a bunch of non-americans or a bunch of fellow trans people. oh, you don't want to kill trans people? so you personally want to kill non-americans? racist selfish piece of shit" seems uhhhhh disingenuous at absolute best and a psyop at worst

#like my dudes we are literally in the trolley problem as we speak #do you think we like. enjoy living in a country where voting is just 'which one do you think will kill less people'? #ur standing there saying 'if you pull the lever then the guy who tied those people to it will take that as a sign he did the right thing' #and its like. idk i dont think he wouldve tied them there to begin with if he didn't already think he was in the right i gotta be real w u #or honestly its less the trolley problem and more just #'you have access to the orphan crushing machine control panel. theres no off switch but there is a speed dial which is cranked all the way #up. do you turn it down?' #where if you try to turn it down someone will pop up going 'youre such a piece of shit for killing those orphans by adjusting the speed #rather than destroying the machine' #and if you try to point out that the machine is a trillion times bigger than you‚ is made of titanium‚ and has defensive turrets #that gets brushed off as making excuses #and its like.. well ok why arent /you/ destroying it then asshole youre just standing around talking about how #eomeone should blow it up already but youre not even willing to turn down the dial much less actually blow it up #and i dont think turning down the dial does tell the guy who made the machine that it was a good machine to make‚ actually #and especially given how many other people are in their control rooms cranking the dial higher and higher‚ yeah i think ill turn mine down #origibberish
