The current geopolitical rivals of America are Russia and Red China. If America falls, one of them will take its place as global hegemon. I donβt know about you, but I would rather have a liberal-progressive republic as the world leader than a fascist dictatorship.
America is not perfect. No state currently in existence is (except Canada π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦π¨π¦ ofc) . But American hegemony is a damn sight better than hegemony of any of its rivals.
as trans activists we have GOT to get more comfortable with embracing the idea that we are a threat to the usamerican status quo. no more of this "we're the real america lovers, we make america great" shit. usamerica isn't and should not be made great, because it is a racist imperialist patriarchal state that has caused huge amounts of death and devastation worldwide. all our struggles are interconnected.
we should not be licking the ideological boots of a political system that gives zero shits about any of us, we should be dismantling it and replacing it with something that does. if trans existence is a threat to this country, then GOOD. I'm fucking proud of that. and you should be too.
