I’d rather watch Trump become an emperor and American “democracy” end under the kind of authoritarianism this country has spent generations imposing on other nations than cast another vote for a Zionist Democrat who tells me I have to support them because the alternative is Trump.

Maybe then people will finally decide the system is worth resisting. At this point, I don’t have much faith in that either.

Go ahead. Downvote this to hell. Call me unhinged. Tell me I’m selfish. Tell me I have to accept sacrificing my people so you can preserve your comfort, and then keep calling yourselves our allies while you openly decide which minorities are expendable, starting with trans people.

“First they came…” and all that.

When you spend years teaching people that solidarity only flows one way, eventually they believe you.

If your political position is that minorities must keep being sacrificed to protect you from something worse, don’t be surprised when those minorities stop volunteering for the sacrifice. Don’t be surprised when, eventually, we aren’t there to save you either.

You told us this was the deal. You keep telling us this is the deal.

I’m done with the “vote for the lesser evil so we can live to fight another day” argument. That line stops working when the supposed lesser evil has helped slaughter enormous numbers of people and expects our votes without remorse, accountability, or even a meaningful change in course.

You don’t get to demand unconditional political loyalty from people whose lives and families you have already decided are negotiable.

When you’re ready to actually be an ally, assuming we survive long enough to have that conversation, come find us.

Then maybe we can build something better together: a political system that treats human beings as ends in themselves, not as expendable constituencies whose suffering can always be justified by pointing to someone worse.

You are fucked, good luck.
