hoping that Republicans going full evil asshole mode against Sarah McBride will move trans politics away from niche sports bullshit back to "stop being weird assholes" imo the fundamental thing underlying almost all queer politics is that the average person just doesn't give a shit
Good take daskrubking
It really needs to be driven home just how obsessed Republicans are with other people's genitals (Hunter Biden, trans people, Trump and Arnold Palmer's pp, etc...), and how that's way more weird and harmful than your average LGBT person.
That's exactly the problem. Most people don't give a shit so when the Mace's of the world mobilize, nobody wants to get in their way, even if it's wrong. I just don't see a way out of this shit whirlwind. Is a cop at the Capitol gonna tell this guy to use the women's bathroom?
Literally how long until a Republican congressman openly asks why they're making her use the boys room. It's going to make them feel so stupid eventually
All the trash they talk relies on never interacting with trans people ever
conservatives have the advantage in the beginning because people don't want to learn how gay marriage works or what a pronoun is, it's new and weird and they don't wanna think about it
So true. People are scared of what they don't understand.
but once you're over that hump you start to enter the good zone where conservatives are trying to implement bathroom TSA agents and the average person says "yeah sure idk what this trans stuff is about but who gives a shit" that's the place you wanna stay in
the problem rn is that conservatives played the classic "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!" trap card and have fabricated a hallucinatory reality where woke teachers are transing kids in school which reverts voters back to their initial mindset of "i don't like this new stuff get it away from me"
Ya, Trump made those stupid lies. But this is the 30 second Trump ad I saw on tv all the time, and I think it was very effective. And I think they can run it in 2 or 4 years too, because where is the lie? This is the bigger problem for Dems www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8hA...
