Trump is bad at very many things, but he is actually pretty good at being a conman. *sigh*
It's easier when your marks are stupid. Which explains Republicans' stance on education.
"There was really no indication that they would eat my face."
I'd say so, but I now have to hide who I am for at least another two years just to keep my family safe...... I'm not sure if the blue state resistance will be enough to stop the persecution of people like me, despite living in one of those states.
I'm going to apologize for the bluntness of this statement.
It won't be. Right now we're on the precipice of open season and the hunters will be out. Anyone who has anything to gain on the national stage is going to use LGBTQ and Trans people as THE boogymen. Especially once they start deporting the migrants and we begin dealing with that fallout. You all are the next big target.
I'm sorry for that, but this is reality right now.
Not gonna be easy on my mental health, but I've been hiding for nearly 40 years, I can try to ride it out and I now have a job that is somewhat insulated from the whims of the economy in general(work for a municipally owned utility company that has been in operation for over a century that doesn't 'have' to make a profit, though we usually do) so my lively-hood likely won't be threatened unless things get REALLY BAD.
FB friend:
Transgender an odd kind of issue, because it cannot be settled. The Republicans talk LIKE there are policy decisions to be made concerning schools giving transition surgery and sports participation, but the former is totally fake and the latter won't be handled by the government. Talk also of bathroom issues, but those issues belong to the owners of bathrooms. The GOP ACTUALLY talk about it as a demonstration of how Democrats just can't understand reality itself. It's very useful there, because a great mass of the populace is flummoxed by the issue.
As long as Democrats are supportive of Transgender issues and the populace remain flummoxed, it will be a fabulous wedge issue for Republicans. And they are actively working to keep the populace flummoxed just in case people start thinking about how little it affects their own lives.

not even sworn back in yet & the GOP is adopting the stance of OUR GLORIOUS LEADER MAKES NO MISTAKES.
The issue is they WEREN'T supportive, they just didn't demonize us. There is a difference there. Thankfully we have a trans woman in congress now. Visibility matters and seeing that she is just like everyone else in most aspects outside of her gender experience could help fix that. Also, it can be settled. The science, generally, is on our side
I cannot speak to how it feels from your chair. There IS a difference between supportive and being an advocate and I do think most Democrats in national leadership are supportive. They could do more, certainly, and I'm sure they are counting the cost on that. It is what it is. But they believe it is real and decry Republicans for a lot of their worst attacks.
I thought about it and I still think he is wrong sometimes.
Well, it certainly is common for people to cherry-pick his lies to pretend he really meant the ones they liked and didn't mean the ones they disliked.
But here people are believing a lie he never even told.
Supporting Netayahu's "war" is something he actually has been consistent about.
That is a top tier liar!
He may not have said he supported Palestine, but he definitley spent money on ads in areas with large Muslim populations painting Harris as being completely pro-Israel while remaining silent on his own position. They also ran ads stating the exact opposite in areas with large Jewish populations. He will tell people whatever they want to hear so he can get his hooks into them to gain more money and power. He played both sides and his team did it expertly, unfortunately. Perhaps Harris should have gone down the low road a bit more throughout her campaign instead of waiting until the final couple of weeks to actually call him a fascist, I don't know... Doing so could have pushed more supporters away from her than it brought in...

The farms will "reparent" them.
