And a recent poll found that a majority of Americans approve of how Mr. #Trump is handling #Trans issues — far above how he is handling his presidency generally. On trans-related issues, Americans’ opinions have moved right since 2022. What led the trans-rights movement to suffer not just a major electoral loss, but also a sweeping loss of public support?” #LGBQT https://overcast.fm/+ABLShM-Wz3Y

That reason is to get evangelicals to vote for a fascist dictatorship that will shield their wealth & greed from taxation & oversight.
