This type of rhetoric is why people believe the republicans peddle the culture war and why you're constantly called -ists and -phobes. If your political ideology is built on a foundation of disparaging whatever minority of the day, people won't take you seriously. There are actual issues you should be addressing. The culture war as peddled by Republicans is nothing more than a distraction from their unbelievably garbage fiscal policy. And it's worked well - most Trump voters cannot articulate Trump's fiscal policy at all.
What you, and others, are missing is a sense of scale and perspective. Transgender individuals are an unbelievably small part of our society and truly mean no harm. They are Americans like you and I. They want to be happy, live and prosper. Their goals are your goals. They are not your enemy, and they couldn't be even if they wanted to. You may not understand them, and that's fine. But be wary of scapegoating such a minuscule minority for the problems of America. Such ideology veers dangerously close to fascism.
>If your political ideology is built on a foundation of disparaging whatever minority of the day, people won't take you seriously.
Pfft that's nothing. The Democrats disparage the majority! That's why they are not taken seriously.
>The culture war as peddled by Republicans is nothing more than a distraction from their unbelievably garbage fiscal policy. And it's worked well - most Trump voters cannot articulate Trump's fiscal policy at all.
Kamala's voters can't articulate a lick of fiscal policy. It boils down to "everyone gets a free pony, two if you're not a white man!" The left has been all in on culture war and everyone is sick of it.
>Transgender individuals are an unbelievably small part of our society and truly mean no harm.
Generally I think this is true. But it sure doesn't help when some of them go on a rampage and the media covers it up as has happened multiple times in the past couple of years. Conservatives are fine with these people existing but just don't want their kids indoctrinated with their delusions.
>They are Americans like you and I. They want to be happy, live and prosper. Their goals are your goals.
Most of them seem to mind their own business in my experience. But when it comes to dudes in women's spaces or "trans children" most people are absolutely disgusted and will not tolerate policies that support those notions. I think it would be a good start if the sane trans people came out and loudly condemned that stuff. But the ones that have come out and done exactly that have been vilified by their community. It's sick.
The left has painted itself into a corner. They made unpopular policies pandering to at most 1% of the population their flagship issue. How about going back to a strict policy of "Do whatever weird stuff you want in your own bedroom, but be respectful and don't talk to kids about it!"
>But be wary of scapegoating such a minuscule minority for the problems of America.
Nobody really thinks these people cause all the problems with America. They are but a distraction, and a very effective one at that.
>Such ideology veers dangerously close to fascism.
All the censorship and political prosecution of non-crimes has veered dangerously close to fascism. But yeah, let's worry about people who don't want their kids brainwashed into sex change procedures.
Emotional language, how charming. Nobody cares what disgusts you. These people exist, the sooner you get over it the better for everyone. I've been very kind but I'm getting impatient.
> Kamala's voters can't articulate a lick of fiscal policy. It boils down to "everyone gets a free pony, two if you're not a white man!"
Literally what the fuck are you talking about?
Evidently you can't articulate fiscal policy either, because you just made this up. Really? Kamala's fiscal policy is she hates white people? I mean, do you even hear how unbelievably stupid you sound?
> kids brainwashed into sex change procedures.
Conservative reactionary culture war bullshit. The right should focus less on pandering to racists and transphobes and focus more on their shit fiscal policy.
> Conservatives are fine with these people existing
Can't speak for all of them but a large percentage is NOT fine with the existence of trans people. If they were we wouldn't have so much discrimination.
> "trans children"
I too was a trans child. Not sure why the quotation marks. They want to be happy, live and prosper too.
> dudes in women's spaces
Never heard of anyone supporting this.
> Do whatever weird stuff you want in your own bedroom
That's actually disgusting. My existence is not a fetish to be hidden away.
One example of many: SB 132 in California. It has enabled men to successfully transfer into women's prisons, with terrible consequences for incarcerated women.
