  • I genuinely want to know why I keep seeing people repeat this sentiment.

    If we lived in a healthy democracy, a candidate that would infringe so openly on rights - especially in this context - wouldn’t have the platform to even run or the governmental power to do so.

    With that supposition I think we can agree something is clearly not healthy, whether societal socially, or as a function of checks on the government. And that’s before questioning the legitimacy of this outcome. Not that the answer will change anything, but regardless, I chose not to harp on the people who genuinely did not know better, as you imply of LGBT here.

    The collapse of the systems that are intended to power check the goverment will benefit literally nobody, not that voted for, nor against, nor at all. So what do we gain by putting blame other than infighting?
