I am disillusioned with fellow travelers on the left about the US election. We care about human rights and freedoms. Not selectively and hypocritically. Lives and rights that would be lost under Trump. Hundreds of millions would lose rights. Tens of millions would die. Not hyperbole. A thread. 1/

Reproductive rights. In all likelihood Trump would create a blanket abortion ban through old laws and administrative action. No new laws are needed. This would directly strip the personal bodily autonomy of over 100 million people in the US. 2/

Great thread. As I've said numerous times, these ultra-purists who obsess about this one narrow issue are never able to answer two questions: 1. How would Trump be better on this one issue? 2. How would Trump be better on every other issue?

I very much agree with everything you wrote—in fact, Miller’s anti-immigrant policies are even scarier than you list—but I’m curious: why are you disillusioned? What are you seeing that is selective/hypocritical? (I’m curious if it’s the same thing I see, or something else.)
