George Takei  🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽Dec 3, 2022
The incoming GOP majority is going to try and discredit the work of the Jan. 6 Committee. Remember the courage of honorable conservatives like Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger when the extremists begin their assault. They had nothing to gain by opposing their party and Trump, and everything to lose. But they stood up anyway for the rule of law and for democracy.

Liz Chaney is vociferously anti-LGBTQ+. She doesn't get a pass because she isn't as much of a fascist as the rest of the party.

@graygoogirl @georgetakei you are responding to a gay man, he knows her stand on this issue. She stood up for what was right when she knew it would cost her her seat. So build a bridge and get over it.

Lol, cishet mansplaining who George Takei is to a gay transgender Star Trek fan is hilarious. Chaney doesn't get a pass for doing her job and you apologists can kiss the fattest part of my ass. Now GTFO.

Hi! I'm a cis-gendered mansplainer! I know you don't care about my worthless opinion, but I think encouraging GOP Reps and Senators (whether or not ALL their policies are in line with yours/ours) to at least defend the principles of US democracy is a good thing. I know it's ridiculous that the bar is this low, but I feel we can only build with what we HAVE. Not what we want. Let's hope more GOPers see past the identity politics

@Vincoza @graygoogirl Hear, hear. Such strict identitarianism doesn't solve anything; it's just divisive. It's also a cheap mental shortcut that is the opposite of thoughtfulness.
