I’m suggesting being a nerd isn’t why they are terrible people. Your statement implies that being a nerd is part of why they are. You could also say “billionaires” or “rich white guys”, or several other demographics that would more accurately represent why the world is terrible. Not simply “nerds”.

I've only ever been to Disney twice in my life after a loss, I live hand to mouth and my "treats" consist of playing maybe 5 bucks worth of pinball every so often. My family was exploited by Trump, there is an info packet on me. And I'd rather die than indulge a fascist their fear porn, jackass lmao

Not going to the US hurts its economy. Can't run a gestapo if you can't pay them. Boycotting the US as much as reasonably possible is one of the best ways to hurt the Trump regime.

There's a fine line between having fun to stand up to fascism and trying to press a buck while endangering your possible convention goers. I'm afraid that this falls onto the latter.

Get into fist fights with ice agents. They can't hold you with broken arms. Or, in seriousness be safe and help each other. If someone is getting harassed by ice, that's your mate, you've been looking for them, their with you and always have been.

This isn’t just USA. Problem. If you think other countries aren’t taking cues from us, you’re crazy. I hear Nigel Farage might be the next UK PM and is echoing many of Trump’s talking points. Anything demonizing trans rights, anti-woke sentiments are straw men for more nefarious goals. Just fyi.

This wasn't "a complacent election". This was the steady, intentional, political direction the USA has been headed towards since Reagan. You have no left. You have no checks and balances. You have first past the post, and worse than that you have the college of electorates. This was inevitable.

The PATRIOT ACT and the militarisation of the police. Even before that, redlining. Even before that, the whole entirety of US history. The US has always been one bad election from fascism. But the US is not the world. You may drag other countries with you. But you're not the world.

I don't this to come across as me Defending the US; but we spent A Long Time going "we're nothing like Those Germans under Hutler/Russians under Putin!!" American fascism has been the trajectory for a while, but nobody's nearly as immune as they think.

Although it can happen anywhere, there was a lot of erosion of political norms and balances before America got here, and it's probably more than a single election in any healthy democracy. That said, the same erosion is happening elsewhere, and many democracies are less healthy than most ppl think.

I didn’t hear any incidents involving ICE at Anime Expo (Thankfully), and I don’t think ICE would be that foolish with SDCC. An ICE incident at SDCC would be a major PR nightmare that could affect attendance at Anime NYC coming up later.
