This is so much more than just a race issue, its also an LGBTQ and neurodivergence issue, while I may not like Biden, Trump and his crew have both said things and acted in ways that attack basically anyone that isn't in the in group they deem as worthwhile, republicans have also been pushing forward increasingly hostile anti-trans, anti-abortion laws, and Trump as president would bolster their ability to harm vulnerable groups even more

I really hate Biden's unquestioning support of Israel but holy fuck under Trump some of my friends might actually die, and others will lose their rights to be themselves!

Lets also not forget Trump and his fans pushing for things that could very well spell the actual end of democracy in the US.

Edit: I didn't mean to subtract from the race issue, that's also a big part of it, I simply mean to say that Trump is a massive broad spectrum threat to multiple vulnerable groups across the US

Also edited because apparently this isn't readily apparent to some people: under Trump, the genocide of Palestinians will continue, I am very very much against this, the "holy fuck" line is not expressing that I think the genocide of Palestinians is secondary, but is expressing exasperation at the people who constantly insist that the only way to protest is to not vote not seeing the problem with Trump getting into power

While I'm at it, pretty much whatever the results of the election are, shit will probably hit the fan, I urge everyone to learn first aid, a good start is www.stopthebleed.org
