This isn't about courting voters—they intend to consolidate both parties to agreement on the dehumanization of many groups of people in hopes of continuing the fascist/authoritarian tightening of control.

This isn't about the "culture". It's not about what people in general feel. This is about power, control, & the ability to murder people.

Trans folks are fighting for their lives.

To abandon them right now is unthinkable.

This isn't about what we the people want.

This is about what powerful people want us to want.

Just fucking wait. If we follow them down this path in a couple years Democrats will be saying "we need to be more 'culturally normal' & stop talking about women's rights."

It's around here somewhere, honest. They're trying REALLY HARD to find it, but you know it's just so difficult and the Republicans keep getting in the way.
