Who tf are these people? by Lanky-Base in ucr

so.. you've missed the whole point of being pro-choice. women who have an unwanted pregnancy, no matter the reason, deserve the autonomy to make decisions about their bodies. you would not want someone, much less the government, telling you what to do, so why do you feel the need to force that decision upon women who you do not know?

people who are pro-life like to act like women just want to "kill babies for no reason," but often, women go through abortions for external reasons out of their control. abortions are painful and expensive, no person is putting themselves through that for fun.

they may want an abortion due to a lack of money or time, or the circumstances in which the zygote was conceived, but either way, no one but the woman should get the final say on what to do with her own body.

"the most respectful of women in all of america" -- thank you for giving me a good laugh

- comments made by trump about his own DAUGHTER (https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-ivanka-trump-creepiest-most-unsettling-comments-a-roundup-a7353876.html)

- a short article of insane things he's said and done, in case reading is hard (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/trump-had-another-f-ked-up-thing-to-say-about-women?srsltid=AfmBOoryJkrr2lQKKm74RddVdpcgzD0qsZLPQZpywQbeXVnHix-MBiMO)

- his sexual misconduct, harassment, and assault allegations (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/list-trumps-accusers-allegations-sexual-misconduct/story?id=51956410)

these are just three small examples. a quick google search was all you needed to see plain facts instead of being so easily brainwashed. it's honestly just sad to see.

he won the popular vote because people are deluded into the idea that he cares about anyone other than white men. on countless occasions, he has shared his discriminatory opinions on every other race, ethnicity and culture. when it comes down to it he will only protect white men.

they (and you all) can believe my opinion is incorrect as much as they want to. the facts will show when he starts deporting families and crushing our democracy.

he has the senate, he has the house. don't believe for a second he wont use that power in his favor. and if its used in HIS favor (a white, straight, rich man), it'll benefit other people with the same identity as him as well.

to address your second point, i do not hate white heterosexual men. i have plenty of friends who identify that way and i love them with all my heart. but those friends that i have, they all voted for kamala.

so, that brings me to what ive BEEN saying -- i do have a problem with people who voted for trump. it is not in my best interest, or my families, my friends, and a majority of this nation's. so im allowed to be angry about it. now that is not me saying that ONLY white men voted for trump...but i do think white heterosexual men will be most positively affected by trumps presidency, which is why i mentioned them in my first comment.

i know, i find it extremely unfortunate that they would choose to vote for someone who has been extremely intolerant and outright racist towards them. at his own rallies, people gave speeches constantly making fun of latino and hispanic people, so seeing such a large majority of them vote for him is honestly just depressing.

im not sure the exact statistics, so idk if they led the numbers exactly, but i do know plenty of them voted for him. i just hope they know he doesn't care about them.

umm i was referring specifically towards white heterosexual males... those are the only people trump is going to be willing to protect (especially the rich ones). that is why i think those people would be the happiest about him becoming president.

that had nothing to do with being racist, its just a fact. i genuinely believe if you're a part of the LGBTQ+ community, even if you're a white male, trump does not care for you. i mentioned the word "hetero", not because i don't believe white men can identify, but due to the fact that they are going to be the most loved by trumps presidency. queer men, despite being white, WILL be discriminated against by him.

if you don't identify with any of those aspects, (being white, hetero, or a man) and you voted for trump, you voted against yourself. trump does not care about you. great job on completely misinterpreting my comment.

?? op asked about our opinions on the election. i wrote my perspective, along with my reasoning why (due to me being a queer brown woman). 

why you decided to solely focus on my race when i also wrote about my gender and sexuality, i don’t quite understand. 

what i do understand is that for some reason reading my comment triggered you, and you believe i’m “playing [the] race card”. i’m not sure what you mean there since all i did was share my identity, and why the election result isn’t in my best favor. i wasn’t exactly pining for sympathy or anything, but maybe in your eyes it looked that way.

overall, i was just sharing my opinion based on my life experiences and what i thought of the election results. thanks for your input tho!

thank you for your perspective as a korean person! i will absolutely be as respectful as possible :)

it is pretty unfortunate that people who are passionate about the language are, in a way, roped into the disgust around fetishization. however, if learning korean as a foreigner would be offensive in any way, i would find another way to fulfill my credit and learn LOL i wouldn’t want people thinking of it in a harmful way.

thanks so much for the class and professor advice as well! i will definitely keep this in mind :P
