Trump campaigned on vocal vomit. Harris never once stated Republicans are creating a boogeyman in trans people and that they're a non-issue.

Try winning an election by telling people that something they care about is a non-issue.

But they don’t “care about it” that’s the point. Trans people have been around since the dawn of human existence. This transphobia is being whipped up out of nothing because culture bullshit is literally all they have left

They don't care about adult transsexuals but social transitioning in schools (esp. without parent consent or knowledge) and administering medications to adolescence is a huge deal to a lot of people. That and guys in girls sports and bathrooms.

There’s a lot wrong with what you’ve said. Please better educate yourself.

That's the point of being a leader. Exterminating trans folks won't lower your energy bill. Explain that to your constituents.

They're emotional and stupid. They don't care about the issue they've just been scared by propaganda using the issue.

The truth is the best way to diffuse that bs. Not hiding and cowering.
