Worse for non cis people

How so, specifically, that wasn't happening prior?

worse for women

Same. How so, specifically?

worse for education

Public education, to put in the words of Lupe Fiasco:

"Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts If you think that hurts, then wait, here comes the uppercut The school was garbage in the first place, that's on the up and up"

Brown people in the US have always gotten the shit end of the stick, with public education.

worse for immigrants

What if I told you that Biden was deporting people at a faster rate than Trump is?

worse for people in countries being directly and indirectly threatened by your fascist president

Like, which countries? Palestine was being genocided before Trump was elected. And we've been raping under developed nations for a long time. Frankly, a lot of those nations are getting a break now, with Trump's focus on turning the imperialism inwards.

many of the most emblematic coup d'états were sponsored by dems in power. brazil in 64 and 2016, bay of pigs invasion in cuba in 61, south vietnam in 63, greece in 67, dominican republic in 63 and 65, argentina in 66, bolivia in 79, south korea in 61 and 79, honduras in 2009, paraguay in 2012...

I've got zero interest in discussing anything with people so foolish they tie themselves in knots to absolve fascism and Trump. Its literally pointless.

Who is absolving Trump of anything?

You have zero interest because every time you try you make an ass of yourself and start defending genocide
