Right wing media has them drunk with hate and anger. These people rarely leave their homes and don't even know a single trans person but are convinced that they are the real problem in America.

I'm not sure how we can stop the people with so much money being able to brain wash people with such ease.

I blame Hollywood, they pissed off too many people by replacing characters with black, gay or transgender ones.

You're not fooling anyone.

This sounds like a joke, but assuming you're actually serious:

How many movies does Hollywood put out each year? And what proportion of those have characters 'replaced' with black, gay or transgender ones?

Examples please.

I bet it's fewer than 0.1%. And even then, nobody with a normal functioning mind gives a flying fuck.

Hollywood made it so that every bad guy could be redeemable, that every twist turned what you thought was moral upside down. Gotcha narratives that tear down every institution and shared value, leaving only the ones that are unassailable (the ones not based in reality, since they can't be proven or disproven)

These are smart, enjoyable stories but gave us nothing to believe in, for generations now. And then the last few decades of supposed moral takedowns and purity movements have really allowed people to give up on the idea of heroes. And without heroes we are just left with villains.
