At the risk of being controversial, I tend to be suspicious of Americans who are super identitarian in their politics. For example insisting on prioritizing first and foremostthe “queer community,” meaning more or less the American subculture. They almost always end up being reactionary and incapable of actual political consciousness beyond thinking in terms of I vs Not-I and citizen interest group slop. I think after this year, this tendency in radlib identitarian politics will become increasingly blatant and some conscious, direct response to it will be unavoidably necessary after years of people tolerating it or counterposing some other usually workerist identitarianism instead
something funny about how yanks shitting themselves about a potential hypothetical lgbt genocide that immediately jumps to concentration camps seem to think seeing trump and harris as pretty much the same is a position hold by only privileged people who "wouldn't be affected anyway", when a lot of people who think that have arrived to the conclusion by the fact that no matter the president, their people were and will be subjected to genocide, camps, massacre and constant violence
