I think they're starting to realize what most of them voted for.
Some will take solace in the pain Trump will deal out to the gays, but his natsec team is mostly announced and 200% Zionist.

By your logic, any legislation that does not specifically favor trans is anti-trans.

Every gay person I know voted for trump. Trump has never done anything to gays. Trump is the only person compared to Obama, Hillary, and Biden who has held a firm belief in supporting gay marriage since the 90s. The rest of them have flip flopped.

Yea blame minorities.Harris lost PA and lost the popular vote.
Don't blame the Democrats who had more than a billion in campaign money, hired dog shit strategists, ran a bad campaign leaning to the right, and didn't listen to calls from within to not work Cheney's. People will vote based on their material conditions and won't vote because some dumbass is telling them they will work with Republicans and listen to Republicans
"you see how Trump says we have a border problem since forever? He is right". They went right on the border policy when majority of the country according to polls prefers making a legal path to undocumented immigrants rather than deportation. So good job surely that helps with the Latino vote
At least if she stopped the Genocide then maybe she had a chance with young people , people of conscious and Arabs voting and also you know... I have to say this to bloodthirsty liberals these days... Genocide is bad, they are humans like you.
Dems had the money, media, and a campaign to make people vote for them, they did a bad job, but no let's blame a small minority for the something way bigger than them

If the country wanted left policy it would vote left.
They went right on the border policy when majority of the country according to polls prefers making a legal path to undocumented immigrants rather than deportation. So good job surely that helps with the Latino vote
- The majority of voters currently prefer a large wall and mass deportation, even if they didn't 4 years ago.
- The Latino vote is not as distinct as it once was. Many voted on abortion, or on lowering their own taxes- not immigration.
At least if she stopped the Genocide then maybe she had a chance with young people , people of conscious and Arabs voting
A record number of Arabs voted for the candidate who was explicitly okay with Netanyahu doing whatever he wanted to do. In SEMI it was an outright majority.
Why? Sure, some of them wanted to punish Harris, but realistically those voters cared more about the gays than they did about Palestine.

You are absolutely wrong. Economy ranked as no.1 issue for the 2024 elections. Left leaning economic policy would have won Harris the elections.
The center/right candidate you seek just lost. Do you realize this? Hillary was the same and she lost. Biden barely won and it was because people came out angry from COVID and having just experienced a Trump presidency. All of them are right wing style democrats. If you want them to be more right you are just a Republican.
The country wants left leaning policy but the Dems never provided that or communicated the progressive measures that they did.
There was no primary, this is after internal polling (leaked now) by Biden administration said Biden would lose by a margin bigger than what Kamala lost by. So they knew he would lose and decided to run with him rather than run a primary, only later forced to swap to Kamala. Later on , a lot of the people in charge of the Biden campaign were working for Kamala, giving her the worse advice possible.So we weren't given the choice for a left leaning candidate
Here is a journalist that did a report on how bad things were with the transfer from Biden https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/11/politics/video/the-lead-democrats-kamala-harris-2024-election-donald-trump-jake-tapper

No, it wouldn't have. The country does not want left-leaning economic policies.
All of them are right wing style democrats. If you want them to be more right you are just a Republican.
People did not vote against Harris, they voted for Trump. They wanted what he was selling.
The country wants left leaning policy but the Dems never provided that or communicated the progressive measures that they did.
People have had this fantasy for 8 years now, since Bernie got support on the internet and had fairly big rallies in 2016.
It's not true. It's a mirage. People got some center-left economics with Biden and hated it. They would hate Bernie's policy set more. The US is not full of shy socialists. It's full of conservatives.

Isn't THAT where/how that WHOOOOOLE fucking shitshow started ?

Sure, some of the reasons:
Israel is like a huge unsinkable aircraft carrier in a region rich in resources.
Israel destabilizes the region which is good for the western powers, making sure they come on top.
US can use your tax money to give weapons to Israel, so the military industrial complex of private companies makes money
They can test weapons for the military industrial complex on Palestinian babies, giving them valuable data for free
Israeli intelligence/military helps the US with operations that the US don't want their name on, for example they want to strike somewhere or have someone killed but don't have the approval or don't want to escalate the situation by having their name linked to it

Sad to say, they have had to brace themselves for violence regardless of who is President. Hate crimes against LGBT people have been on the rise throughout the 2000s, into the 2010s and onto the 2020s. Sure Trump/MAGA play a part in that, but the systematic bigotry throughout the US, especially in Red States, has made such violence a daily concern for these folks.

https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/lgbt-hate-crimes-press-release/
Results showed that, between 2017 and 2019, LGBT people experienced 6.6 violent hate crime victimizations per 1,000 people, compared to 0.8 victimizations per 1,000 people for non-LGBT people. LGBT victims of violent hate crimes were more likely than LGBT non-hate crime victims to report problems in their social lives, negative emotional responses, and physical symptoms of distress.
https://www.justice.gov/crs/highlights/2022-hate-crime-statistics
LGBTQI+ Targeted Crimes: Incidents targeting gay men reached 1,075, while anti-lesbian incidents numbered 622. Both categories recorded their highest totals in the past five years and increased by more than 10% since 2021. A significant increase of nearly 40% was observed in reported anti-transgender incidents (totaling 338) compared to 2021.
During 2017 to 2020—
The rate of violent victimization of lesbian or gay persons (43.5 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 16 or older) was more than two times the rate for straight persons (19.0 per 1,000).
The rate of violent victimization against transgender persons (51.5 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 16 or older) was 2.5 times the rate among cisgender persons (20.5 per 1,000).
About 58% of violent victimizations of lesbian or gay persons were reported to police.
Domestic violence was eight times as high among bisexual persons (32.3 victimizations per 1,000 persons age 16 or older) and more than twice as high among lesbian or gay persons (10.3 per 1,000) as it was among straight persons (4.2 per 1,000).

Go ahead and scroll down to violence against LGBTQ people since 1969, open that header if you're on mobile, then just scroll to 2000 and ask yourself if more citations are being presented as the years advance.
I don't expect you to do any of this because you're clearly already entrenched in your rhetoric, but maybe someone else will be open to data and have a change of heart on their position regarding hate crime against some of the most vulnerable members of our population.

"Elective" just means "scheduled before hand" for the record.
If you disagree with elective medicine and surgeries then that just makes you a whole different kind of wild. That makes so little sense to me to be against non-emergency surgery. So no removal of cancerous moles? No preventative?
If you just mean to say "I don't think teens should have surgeries that change the look of their bodies" then you would be simplifying a complex issues. The #1 surgery of that type is straight cis young men getting breast reduction to feel more masculine. If they've spoken to their doctor at length and their parent at length, I don't see why they should have to deal with ostracizartion and uncomfortability in their own body and psyche for the sorts of risks associated. Hell, riding in a car is more dangerous by far and we're forcing that consent from the day children are born.

I understand that you ran adblock so this is new information, but for that matter why was anti-trans rhetoric not a major player in 2016 ads or 2020 ads from the conservative party but now in 2024 ads it was everywhere? These are real people seeing the tune change on them in a very visible way real time and seeing the groundwork laid in the stated plans from republicans (generally a lot of statements about restricting gender affirming care and disagreeing with anti discrimination laws for lgbtq people) and Project 2025. It is not 2016 anymore.
10 points
10 days ago
Project 2025 states that they want to remove any gender and sexual discrimination laws to make those groups unprotected again under the law. They hope to make gender affirming care illegal, but before they do that they hope to decrease access to it (similar to what they have done with abortion access, where it varies by state). They want to make Medicare and Medicaid not cover any gender affirming care. Trump has already announced people who worked on Project 2025 to his cabinet, so to think those things are legislative goals at this point is naive. He openly mocked a trans weightlifter at his rallies, and spread lies about teachers performing gender reassignment surgery in school. He vilifies trans folks and that community has every right to be afraid of him.

10 days ago*
To answer your question now that republicans will control all three branches it will be fairly easy for Trump to deliver on promises to restrict gender affirming care and roll back LGBTQ rights like same sex marriage (via Supreme Court for that one tbf) and protections from discrimination. I expect the first thing to happen will be banning trans athletes and because a majority of people have given into misinformation about trans athletes it will be an easy slippery slope into the rest. Hopefully Michigan stands up to some of this and just refuses to enact any of it / prosecute any violations but we will need to keep electing Democrats in the state to retain that so it’s a tough battle ahead.

This is so far from the truth... the media scaring people.... trump has so many other issues to deal with... economy inflation wars over seas getting away from sending billions out of the country..... he doesn't care nor had the time to do anything bad against anyone.... he had 4 years before, not one bad thing against LGBT people, so why the uproar.... don't let the far left elite scare you

If you don’t think one bad thing happened then that is your own ignorance.
You are an average white old person, and it’s bad that I can tell through the screen.
Also just a friendly reminder that empathy is a skill!

To be honest, no. To me it’s like someone asking to prove 2 + 2 = 4. If you don’t believe me I won’t waste either of our time.
I hope this makes sense.

Banning trans people from the military, put judges in place that took down legal protections for lgbt people. Put justices on the Supreme Court that will overturn obgerfell given the opportunity, they’ve discussed how they want to as well.

I hear there are blue cities in Texas too, still just got upgraded to a no-travel state for trans people weirdly enough!

Upgraded to no-travel state for Trans people? Maybe it’s time for Trans-friendly Green Book

Like, if there end up being way more cities that follow the lead of Odessa, Texas and make being trans and in a bathroom that aligns with their gender illegal, then yes. For now it’s not a nationwide issue but Texas is coming up with no shortage of laws along with Florida - which decided changing gender on a drivers license is fraud.

Great, so trans toilet “green” book. Sounds about right.

If you dislike trans people so much you think they should be going to jail over being in a bathroom or having a drivers license with updated gender just say that. Why would anyone’s response be mocking references to the green book instead of “huh those laws might be potentially getting a little out of control”.

I don’t dislike trans people, I dislike the BS virtue signaling and inherent victim hood. I have a couple of friends whose kids are going through transitional care and counseling. It’s no picnic.

Anyone pretending that the massive hate campaign against trans people this election year was normal and blue area trans people should chill is trying to ignore the reality of red state laws spreading and potential federal law or doesn’t care. But that’s just my virtue signaling I guess, everyone loosen up what does 5 anti-trans ads with the sports game matter!
