A brief reply to Stuart Campbell's latest bizarre attack on me *for voting against Donald Trump*

While we wait for the early exit polls, I just thought I'd briefly address the 27,543rd unprovoked attack on me from my crazed Somerset-based stalker, because this time he's angry with me for voting against Donald Trump.  Seriously.

"You know what's so wretched about this? There's *not one word* about what Harris would do to the rights of women, LGB people and vulnerable children. Women simply *never even figured in his thought process for a moment*."

So Campbell told people to vote unionist at the general election, he openly admits he would abstain in any new independence referendum, and now it turns out he would have voted for Donald Trump if he was American. Did anyone ever doubt it?

If I was even going to try to form a serious response to Campbell's rant, I would start by shaking my head in total disbelief for at least half an hour.  What do you even say to the guy?  There is an apocalypse going on in Gaza and it is only happening because of US government support.  I have been racked with guilt for the last three weeks because I have cast a vote for a vice-president who is literally facilitating genocide in real time.  But I did it because I was trying to be responsible due to the future of the world being at stake on two counts: a) a Trump win would put the world's second-largest nuclear arsenal in the hands of an unstable narcissist, which could in the worst case scenario lead to the sudden end of human civilisation, and b) a Trump win would stall any action on the climate emergency for four years, which is time we simply don't have.

So, frankly, I make no apology for the fact that the three rather important issues that have been at the forefront of my thoughts as I made my decision were genocide, nuclear annihilation and the climate emergency.  Campbell, of course, believes I should instead have been thinking about the trans issue, because that's the only issue in the entire f****** universe he actually cares about.  (Not "women", incidentally, who he doesn't give a toss about - if he did he'd realise that most people who care about women's rights voted for Harris due to the overturning of Roe v Wade.)

Stuart, sod off, you small-minded, obsessed little man.  My gender critical views are on the record and well-known, but if you think that's going to lead me to flirt with soft fascism, you can just take a hike.
