I asked because, that 13% combined with those who didn’t vote at all might have been the difference between being persecuted or not by the current administration.
Note that this isn’t limited to this community, it’s any community who voted for a candidate who openly and in public stated repeatedly what he was going to do.
Now it’s happening like a minute to minute reality TV show and it’s affecting the whole planet.

13% of 10% of the population, if every single queer person voted, is 1.3% of the total population. Blaming 1.3% of the population for being oppressed by the majority that voted for oppressing them is at best a waste of time.
84% of Trump’s votes came from white people; if 5% of them were less shitty we wouldn’t be going through this. But somehow this societal conversation always comes back to minorities not voting correctly or not voting enough, instead of talking about white America’s racism problem.
I think my point got lost in this and I’m to blame for not articulating myself, I apologise.
I was (poorly) trying to point out that there are enough minorities in the population who are currently being persecuted who either voted for this administration, or didn’t vote at all.
The overall margin between the candidates was only 0.15%.
Sorry if I was short about it or jumped the gun; I’ve seen more people than I like blaming Trump being elected on their favored punching bag, while ignoring the bigoted elephant in the room.
The twisted thing is, even the full throated, Nazi-saluting racists are going to get hurt by this administration. Nobody benefits from measles making a comeback or people dying from lack of abortion access, and health problems don’t care how you voted.
It’s not limited to measles and abortion, the Avian Influenza A (H5N1) which recently jumped the species barrier a second time from birds to cows into veterinarians is being monitored by the CDC who just lost 10% of their staff.
