That’s the plan. If conservatives get people upset about trans people, they distract from the rest of the shit they are doing.
Time to start disbarring the federal lawyers who do this shit.
The problem with this concept is idiots often take other people out with them. No amount of genius or evolutionary superiority is going to protect you from a drunken idiot crashing into you driving 120mph.
It isn’t simply wanting to destroy that which excludes you. They want to destroy what they fear. They fear exclusion. They fear those different from them. They fear having to change. They fear losing what they have.
Conservative media and politicians stole these fears and create new ones. Migrant caravans, CRT, FEMA camps, Antifa. These people will run to anyone who indulges their fear and says they can fix it.

It passed 220-208, so no it wouldn’t have changed anything.
“I can only say that the friendship that we have for this nation, the respect and the admiration we have for the people of this nation, their courage, their tenacity, their firmness in the face of very great odds, is one that makes us proud to stand with Israel, as we have in the past in times of trouble.”
- Richard Nixon 1974
“In the Middle East, in particular, a strong, credible America remains the best guarantor of Israel’s integrity and survival as a free nation.”
Ronald Reagan 1982
The only deflection is pretending that what is happening in Gaza is Biden’s idea and not a continuation of 70 years of policy held by both parties.
Do you think Biden is the prime minister of Israel?
Go ahead, tell me how Trump and the Republicans are better than the Democrats. I’m sure any explanation you give won’t make it glaringly obvious don’t belong to any minority groups.
“Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism
Democrats do not reject political plurality.
Democrats do not reduce democracy (rather they increase it by defending voting rights).
Democrats protect the separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
Democrats do not fit the definition of nationalism, let alone ultranationalism.
They do not hold strong beliefs in hierarchy, oppose democracy, or oppose egalitarianism. That’s just an outright lie.
Let’s go with Umberto Eco’s definition since it is well known and it is numbered for easy reference.

The only part that might apply to Democrats is #6.
The system as it stands does not support third parties and Democrats are the only hope we have of changing that system without massive bloodshed and suffering.
Trump and his fascist goons are worse. Period. End of discussion.
You really should look up the definition of fascist, because you are using it wrong.
One side are literal fascists and the other is not. Nothing else matters compared to that.
Also throat cancer in men.
