  • I hope the state goes after them.

    The current DA is pretty fucking liberal as far as DAs go.

    And they are a big reason why politics in Wisconsin are so stacked in favor of Republicans. They do a lot of business here and her husband is heir to the Schlitz beer fortune. They fund a lot of the Republican state representatives campaigns.

    They are also the main reason why Wisconsin is still a prohibition state in regards to marijuana. Supposedly good Christians don’t want cannabis competing with their much more destructive and addictive product.

    The exact type of people Jesus was talking about in his eye of the needle parable








  • I don’t support Harris, but I will vote for her because Trump winning will only make things worse. And accelerate the climate catastrophe, which will hurt everyone who lives here, animals and plants too.

    As far as how I will get the US to stop funding Israel… I won’t. It’s a bigger problem then myself.

    But, organizing outside of the election cycle is the way to do it. Protests, strikes, not paying our taxes. Those are the ways to change things.

    A third party protest vote won’t change anything. It will just get your candidate and those who voted for them blamed for spoiling a two party election and putting Trump in office.

    P.S. The framing of your question sucks btw. For reasons I pointed out above (I don’t support Harris, and I don’t propose that I can do anything personally to stop the genocide outside of organizing with others. And, if Trump is elected, the genocide will accelerate and likely spread to other middle eastern countries, and everyone will be suffering greatly by 2075 due to climate change).



  • Scared people want strong leaders (a daddy) to tell them it’s okay, it’s not the climate, it’s the queers, migrants, etc. And Daddy’s going to fix it.

    Blame may not be the right word. But the destruction of our environment and everything that goes with it, certainly gives authoritarianism an opening.

    Judith Butler goes pretty deep into this in Who’s Afraid of Gender? Of course their analysis focuses mostly on how gender queer people end up being targeted. But the unnamed fear of climate destruction is a big factor. And trans people one of many scapegoats for power hungry demagogues.
