    No. It’s a plan to pull working class to voting against their class interests. It’s a conveyer into right wing voting.

    A. Opposing far right policy is opposing rich people. They’re choosing policy that let’s them exploit more people with less consequences.

    B. You can be upset at multiple things at once. There’s good reason to be against the general “right wing voter” mentality as well as wealth inequality.

    Totally. The idea being that you’ll just take whatever bullshit in the meantime because you get to vote for the controlled opposition party every 4 years.

    Party of the rich vs party of the wealthy

      I don’t disagree, though I will add: there is a lot more to right-wing politics than being anti-trans. Shit is bad for all groups except the rich, and divide and conquer is a thing.

      None of that is meant to belittle the trans experience at the moment. I am aware of the fact that they are, minimally, a kind of sacrificial lamb, and I can only hope that the situation improves.

        Right-wing politics basically requires one or more sub-cultutes to demonize. It’s hate and blame politics, pure and simple.

        As long as the politicians have someone to wag a finger at and blame for all problems, it rallies their supporters. Nazis had the Jews, Republicans have everyone else that they declare different.
