The funny thing is, literally every self-identified trans person could literally be infested by a Yeerk and bent entirely towards the task of dedicating their every vote, hour and dollar lockstep to one political party or another and it still would not make one iota of consequence on elections
...There's got to be at least one fanfic where someone gets initiated into the Sharing and "his" new friendly yeerk goes, "why is there so much stuff about wanting to be a girl in here?"
I think the party wants to throw them under the bus so badly *because* they did that math. I don’t know why they don’t see how bad this looks to other minority groups under the umbrella, though.
(I say "self-identified", because if you expanded the term to encompass every human being that *might* transition under sufficiently hospitable social, cultural and environmental conditions you get a number that's both enormous, nonspecific and entirely unscientific)
Now, if you mind-controlled every single trans person to move to a few congressional districts you could probably unseat a Congressperson but if you did that you are also very very definitely going to incite the worst pogrom in human history
Like if you're going to mind-control people you should probably just use normal WASPs to avoid frightening the locals
(But also, if you can mind-control people, why aren't you just mind-controlling Lauren Boebert or whoever to become woker than fucking bell hooks)
Best I can do is a post-hypnotic suggestion to give her date a handjob at Beetlejuice: the Musical
