That was a Biden campaign promise in 2020- that nothing would fundamentally change. Why shouldn't we believe that? It's the only campaign promise that he's delivered on.

I wish he'd delivered on it. Things have fundamentally changed, for the worse.

Idk if it's really fundamentally worse, like yeah they're cranking the dials on the misery machine but it's still the same machine we've been strapped into

Fundamentally abortion is being outlawed

yes cranking the dials on the misery machine

once the dial starts enabling additional genocides I think that involves fundamental modification to the machine

I would say that what's going on in Gaza today is an intensification of what's already been going on. It's not like October 7th happened and Israel hit the genocide button, October 7th happened as a result of the Palestinians being pushed closer and closer to the brink in a process that I would say has been genocide the entire time. It's not a new knob, it's the same ol' genocide dial getting cranked up to 11, but they've been crankin' the dial this whole time

not the genocide im talking about (god thats horrific to say), talking about trans people getting absolutely fucked under Biden

Depends on how fundamental I guess. The war in Ukraine feels pretty big, if nothing else.

The number of explicit genocides were enabling has gone up by one, that's pretty shitty.
