  The conservative political project is truly deranged.
context: Imagine looking at the current state of the world and deciding that one of the most important issues is that Trans People have too many rights. >
  
  Honest to god, why the trans hate and drag queen fury?  Why can’t people just mind their own damn business?  The world would be a much better place. >
  
  They need a "Them" so they can be an "Us". >
  
  Used to be gays and black ppl, I wonder what they will pick in 10-20yrs from now.  Robosexuals? >
  
  It’s still the gays and black people. Very little has changed. What they’re resisting is the next generation that will benefit from our past achievements and liberate themselves even further than we were able to achieve for ourselves. >
  
  
  It’s still the gays and black people. 
  
  It is, but it is not as easy to go after them now, so they're specifically focusing on the trans community as their new 'other' of choice. Then once they've killed all of them, the gays will be back on the menu. >
  
  "Gays are back on the menu boys!"
  Wai.. not like that! >
  
  Well, they do say you are what you eat. >
  
  Culture wars are useful when you have no tangible ideas about how to actually govern. >
  
  They want to rule, not govern. >
  
  They want to rule forever while actually not doing anything productive but still keep getting more and more money while the world around them burns. >
  
  I'd call Trump an asshole, but an asshole has a useful function. >
  
  A blue whales asshole is almost 3 feet wide, and is the second largest asshole on the planet. >
  
  Did I miss something and Cultural War suddenly became a winning campaign strategy for the GOP? Last I checked, they weren't, especially at the polls. >
  
  sadly, it did great in 2016 and even more sadly, while Dems eked out congressional majorities and the presidency in 2020, it didn't turn off nearly enough people for a Blue Wave that year and we are stuck with horrible gerrymandering for another decade.  
  oh, and assclowns Desantis & Abbott won huge with it.   
  they don't have to win big, they just have to win enough. >
  
  They’ve been losing more nationally in every election since 2016. 2018, 2020, 2022 haven’t been good for republicans. >
  
  yes, but my point is they are winning "just enough."  
  i mean, they did take over the House. Was it a Red Wave? No. But they have that power now.  
  That's the whole point of cancer--it spreads everywhere. >
  
  As a trans person this shit is terrifying. I'm honestly worried that the majority of people don't care about us and are happy to let us die, and wouldn't help fight, and bleed with us.
  Please, someone prove me wrong. I'm not even American but I'm worried. >
  
  I am from the US and also trans, the amount of apathy towards our rights as people I find is scary. For a lot of people in my life it is the sort of thing where they'll acknowledge that it sucks but then shrug and move on without a second thought.
  I know seldom few who would fight and bleed for/with you or I, though I can't say most would be happy to see our suffering. They just don't have skin in the game and don't care because of it. >
  
  Oh yeah, all these supportive allies in the comments? They don't do anything else. It's a show for them. >
  
  Reddit is one thing, and a rather biased sample on average. While I appreciate the support this site really isn't particularly representative of how a lot of things are out and about in many parts of the world (such as mine upon which I draw my observations). >
  
  Allies seem to only know how to offer their sympathy and not actually stand up for us. It's sad. As someone else said today, they're more upset about gas stoves than trans people.
