this is a vent post it's not meant to be actionable I just need to get some shit off my chest.
Tldr I come from an Exceptionally poor border town. The sort of place where you grow up with permanent lung damage from the mold growing in the school rooms bc there's no money to fix it. the sort of place that has no clean water but does have a Coca-Cola factory sitting on the other side of the river from us draining the one water resource in this fucking desert so they can sell it back to us in bottles and cans bc you can't drink the water that comes out of the tap. the sort of place you have to drive three hours one way for medical care.
This is a town with an 80% Hispanic population. The 20% that's not is here because of the military base that's been leaving tanks outside my grandmother's house.
Trump fucking killed my home town with his war on the border. He's called it out as a place for the righteous gun loving white Americans to take their guns to to protect the free country from" Mexican drug dealers and rapists". while ignoring this shit hole of a town has been settled longer than it's been a part of the US. My aunt's have sent pictures of maga facists walking the street outside the fucking mold ridden elementary school with rifles because it happens to be the same street that connects up to the Mexican town on the other side of the river.
And no one does Anything about it bc the few police officers who are locals and actually give a shit about the insane crime and kidnapping rate are beholden to Border Control who are still loyal to trump because he upped their pay enough to make escaping this town a possibility for their families.
Biden is going to hell for his support and complicity in the ongoing Palestine genocide. but so far he's passed bills that are going to pay to get our school fixed. our water clean. People who were locked up by ice under trump are walking free because of reforms Biden passed. I'm terrified for my family every single day because of Trump's actions in naming our home as a seat of the fucking cartels. My cousins are going to get to grow up without their water coming out of the sink yellow bc of Biden.
it's been fucking Impossible to handle the cognitive dissonance of the "can't handle the trolley problem" website looking at these two and saying they're the same. and I know it's because no one ever actually gave a shit about the poor brown people in our own fucking country Trump wanted dead on top of all the brown people he wants dead globally. but still. it's just fucking irksome to spend four years as a leftist gotcha only to be dropped as soon as we became inconvenient to their narrative.
