There's a very high chance I might find myself in a concentration camp before the end of Biden's next term.

All that's needed is for my red state to declare being trans to be a sex crime, the Supreme Court to decide 5-4 that it's constitutional, and then I'm off to a farm. Biden and his supporters would do literally nothing and just use my internment in a camp as a fundraising pitch.

If you are arguing against voting, then I'd like to know: do you think your chances are better if Trump wins, if Biden wins, or do you believe they are indistinguishable? I'm having trouble understanding this.

I don't think my chances are good under either President, but I also think Democrats are more likely to fight back if Trump wins. Trump saw the largest protest movement in American history. If the trans concentration camps happen under him then people will actually fight back. If they happen under Biden then people will just be told to vote harder next time so we can close the concentration camps! 🤮

The way things are going, there's a good chance it'll happen before the end of his current term.
