I have seen far worse than what I said completely left alone, so I think it is the fact I am still sort of new here as to whyI am not getting any sympathy.

I have no idea how to alert if someone simply says untrue things.

I challenged several of them multiple times to ever find ONE instance where I did what they said, and of course, they could find none.

Now I have one them re-engaging me again, and I just am very gun shy, as the next hide I am done for.

It just sucks overall, as some people on here just go ballistic if we (PoC) say that we will NEVER accept pandering to racists whites for their vote, and that (as I truly believe) if a person voted for that racist bastard, they are a racist, as he openly campaigned as a racist.

The posters immediately go into group (white) defence mode and make outrageous statements about broad brush attacks, when I was VERY specific in all my posts.

They are hyper-defensive, and to me, it really feels like a white privileged attack designed to shut us up.

I am in mortal fear for my fellow PoC and fellow LGBTQ people in the USA. The shit storm we are going to be hit with from all levels (local, state, federal, all backed up by Republican state legislatures, statewide officers, governors, houses, and all 3 branches of the federal government, including a RW SCOTUS) is going to be breathtaking and it just enrages me to no end that so many are demanding that we reach out and kiss racist ass and beg these bastards to vote for us.

These people are the ENEMY, they voted Trump in and many many hold profoundly racist, sexist, homophobic views and I will be damned if I make nice with people who literally want to ERASE me.
