I'm guessing there's some specific response you're looking for: possibly for trans people to say they should vote for their own oppression, but probably you're looking for a weaponisable angry reply… or maybe you're just wasting everyone's time for yuks.

Let's ask the real question here. Why are you sea-lioning? That is, asking versions of the same questions over and over, refusing to accept any answer but the one you are transparently fishing for? You're awfully certain for someone who started "just asking questions."

To be clear, since it seems you *are* asking it, I also wouldn't vote for a candidate running on dehumanising a different group.
I would never vote for a candidate who wants to repeal women's suffrage (we may see those soon). Nor for someone who wanted to reintroduce chattel slavery.

Oh, I'd vote. I'd vote for anyone who might show basic humanity if they got elected. I'd write in my own goddamn name if I couldn't think of anything better to do.
But I'd never vote to betray myself, my community, and the trajectory of American democracy by voting for someone running on bigotry.

If Caster of Magic is your thing (lifetime MoM-hard here), you might want to check put Illwinter Games' Dominions & Conquest of Elysium series (if you haven't already).
10/10 Best Frost Giant vs Biblically-accurate Angel vs Star Spawn pixel art baroque 4x, IMHO.

I'm gonna keep picking up new games, but I'm going to be even more indie than before, and exclude known slop with extreme prejudice.

I also continue to be amazed at how many fundamentalist Christians have no idea what "idolatry" means:
"AI chatbots that claim to be channeling God himself, like a 'prayer app' called Bible Chat, which touts itself as the 'number one faith app in the world' with 'over 40 million' Christian users."

This could be another layer to the "AI doomer = AI booster" media blitz we've been seeing. Yes, doomerism is a way of adding hot air to the sagging balloon of "AI" hype...
...but what if it's also an apocalyptic cult? Religious fanatics always believe their god is going to end the world.
