Like the Muslim voters in Michigan that voted for Trump because they didn't like Harris' support of Israel and then immediately had ICE breathing down their necks

This is true, but it's a good reminder that most people don't act like this meme. We should remember that minorities don't owe us their vote, and we should stand up for them

As a transwoman I'm suddenly used to abuse from false allies who see me as an "Guaranteed Vote"

They're not wrong, but only because it's a two-party system and a true enemy is worse than a false friend.

Yes, this is the attitude they are referring to.

Right? Like, if someone's promising Free Grog and Good Times, they're probably LeChuck in disguise.

Yes, I made an Escape From Monkey Island reference.

First time I played that game, I felt stupid for not realizing the guy named "Charles L. Charles" with the same voice actor as LeChuck, was in fact, LeChuck.

Maaaan now i got spoilered for a game that came out many many many years ago! Thaaanks!!! Angry emoji, angry emoji

Especially since the joke behind the Charles L Charles character is how easy it's supposed to be to see the twist coming, and my autistic ass just took the character at face value.

Tbh i might have been the same, my fellow 'tism friend.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but I'm glad that you are here and having a good time.

[–] Rajkuhl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Wow! This is the second best Monkey Island reference I've ever seen!

Exactly. If you don't want to be deported, you're going to have to be okay with genociding some folks.

Or they could have voted for Harris and not had to deal with mass deportations and then tried to stop the genocidal acts. Instead they voted to continue the genocidal acts AND get deported. If the problem persists either way, why vote to fuck yourself twice?
