It was only a matter of time before Republicans fused their love of guns and hypocrisy with their hate of Trans people. The fact that the most recent mass shooting was perpetrated by a Trans person led to this inevitable tweet:
I think everyone knew this was coming eventually. And, what’s more, the tweet above is a reminder that it’s people on the edges of society that fascists come for first. And that’s why I grow very frustrated with the “illiberal Left” who seem determined to do everything in their power to drive Traditional conservatives into the arms of fascists.
“Woke” people are so fucking triggered for so many different reasons that it’s sometimes difficult to keep up. Some of this, of course, comes from how technology is aiding some amazing changes in what is orthodoxy among the center-Left, with being gay being “aspirational” for a lot of young people at the same time that it’s still considered a sin for a lot of old fart conservatives.
I totally get why so many Trans movement “thought leaders” are hysterical, but at the same time they’re the very people with the most to lose if we have a civil war or turn into an autocracy. Ugh.
