just a warning based off something i saw on twitter recently:
BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU SEE FASCIST STICKERS/POSTERS
DO NOT PULL THEM DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS
it’s not uncommon that the scum who put that stuff up will tape razors to the back/edges in order to injure anyone who pulls them off:
the safest way to deal with fash propaganda is to cover it up or deface it
if you’re going to take them down, use something like a coin or sharp edge rather than your fingers
BE SAFE WHEN REMOVING PROPAGANDA

If you support Trump, you’re racist.
If you support Trump, you’re sexist.
If you support Trump, you’re ableist.
If you support Trump, you’re homophobic.
If you support Trump, you’re transphobic.
If you support Trump, you’re xenophobic.
If you support Trump, you’re Islamophobic.
If you support Trump, you’re fascist.
If you support Trump, you are not a good person.
These are non-debatable. There’s no wriggle room. Loving your children or going to church isn’t going to cut it.
They are not insults. They are statements. They are facts.
There’s no ‘shade of gray’ here. There’s no take backs.
I don’t care what the Republican party used to stand for, I don’t care what your politics and beliefs and all the other bullshit you tell yourself to go to sleep at night. You vote for Trump, you are a fear mongering, hateful bigot, motivated by fear and anger and ignorance and hatred. Period.
It’s not about ‘different opinions’ or ‘political sides’ anymore. This is real life. Wake the fuck up.
Also please unfollow me if you passively or directly support him
A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SHOULD NOT LEAVE PEOPLE SOBBING IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THEY LOVE
For everyone planning to kill themselves in the event of a Trump victory:
Don’t.
We need you. The world needs you. We’ve been through this before, in one way or another, and we have prevailed. Who benefits from your death? Only those who want you silenced.
There will be blue skies ahead. There will be triumphs. This is not the end of the world.
Do not go gentle - we are here today because of the stubborn refusal of our predecessors to go away. There are oases even in the darkest of times. You are not alone, and you have not been abandoned. There *will* be blue skies ahead, and you will live to see them.
