US: “It’s not like they’re going to kill trans people - I think we got bigger short-term fish to fry: for example, there are still trans people left to kill. Let’s give extreme right-wing authoritarian theocracy a shot for now, we can worry about the climate later!” votes for more Nazis
Part of me’s right there with you; part of me fucking hates that.
