2 months agoI mean, the trouble is that voting for Democrats does literally support genocide, if only because every president and presidential candidate in modern history has promised and/or enacted genocidal policies. When talking about US politics and genocide, the bar is so low, it’s in hell.
The nuance to all of the above is that voting for Republicans supports genocide even more. It’s entirely valid to vote for less genocide amongst several genocidal options, and also to call said genocide out.
Both can be true? He said some mildly pro-queer-rights stuff pretty soon before that all happened, and it’s clear that Grimes calling him out and his daughter disowning him got under his skin. That’s not to defend, not even slightly; rather, the shift in targets and more explicit right-wing affiliation definitely go along with him being (and I wish I could remember who coined this) the most divorced man on the planet.
The moral failings were already there, but now he’s found a big glowing target for his tantrums, unfortunately for us queer folks.
