My bad, kinda had a brain fart on that one

This is literally the sole hope I have for the USSC. It is still ruinous to the nation, but at least means there are places you will be able to go that aren’t utter shitholes.

What was that called again?

sTaTeS riGhTs!

Yup, it absolutely crushes them to not only think that someone would actively reject masculinity, but it also can trigger some serious issues questioning their sexuality when they’re attracted to a transwoman. It’s kind of a “Hurt itself in its confusion” moment because their internal crisis could be fixed by just saying “Yeah, I like women and she is a woman” but instead have this deep sense of self-hatred because they’re attracted to “a guy”.

It’s also part of the reason they really don’t give a shit about transmen. It’s understandable they’d want to want to be a man, because of course they would, being a man is awesome! They don’t have to question their sexuality, because even if they’re super masc, they’re still a woman, so they’re definitely not even a little gay.

It doesn’t accomplish nothing. It chips away at the image of him as a strongman, which is one of the things his supporters care about the most. It’s obviously not going to solve the problem, but those small victories do matter and help keep morale up when things feel otherwise hopeless. The key is to keep pushing and pushing in any and every way possible.

Considering how dependent he is of government, it’s weird he is so much against it

It’s called “Pulling up the ladder behind you”. He doesn’t want anyone else to succeed but him.

It’s not really as comforting as it sounds to say that there are people who care about trans rights when an even larger group wants us dead and gone.

You need to stop yourself for a second and realize that it’s not a larger group. It’s a louder group. Absolutely no one who mattered gave a fuck about trans people until we were turned into culture war fodder to distract people from the Right’s shitty policies. The vast majority of people do not care about trans people whatsoever, and that’s not a bad thing, because at that point we’re just like everyone else.

Sure, there are a lot of people who have been convinced they think trans people are bad, but the reality is that it’s a totally manufactured POV. They had nothing else meaningful to complain about, so they pick up on the easiest punching bags they can. But the moment they’re faced with a real issue, they will forget about you in a heartbeat.

I have family members who posted some absolutely vile anti-trans rhetoric during the election, and when they were shamed for their vote, they went on and on about how Trump was “protecting their daughters from trans people in bathrooms”. Now that their jobs are in jeopardy due to the tariffs and they’ve lost a significant number of benefits from all the DOGE cuts? Absolute silence on the anti-trans front.

I don’t mean to justify their actions or behaviors in any way, but I solely mean it as a way to protect yourself mentally from the shittiness going on in the world. It makes things just a tiny bit easier when you realize that it’s not that they hate trans people, it’s just that they are weak people looking for an easy punching bag, and unfortunately we’re the minority du jour they’ve chosen to latch onto for the time being.

That being said, it’s still a very real threat to us for the time being, and ensuring we’re all supporting each other and pushing back however we can is extremely important.

This is sadly exactly the kind of shit they have been saying. Especially as it’s pertained to the Judiciary pushing back and them saying “How dare you! The God-King was elected by the people! Who is this judge to tell the King what to do??”

And trans people. And a large number of Latino people who use a simplified name.

Well, they’re taking away the bread, and the circuses cost $80/mo now. So probably won’t be able to keep it up too long.

Nuttin’ for the mutton

Are they going to say that somehow the liberals crowded the place so there was no one there to back her up?

Yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what they’re doing.

Every accusation is a confession

Nah, he’s definitely been to Epstein’s Island

The “pre-orders” weren’t pre-orders. They didn’t secure a VIN, were zero commitment, and were fully refundable at any time. You were literally just giving Tesla a free loan of $100 to say “I might buy one of these”.

Other models? Absolutely. Cybertruck? No, fuck those people. Elon was full mask-off fascist by the time deliveries started.

I think you’re underestimating just how stupid and impulsive Elon is. Reminder that this is a man who decided to get rid of the color yellow at the factory, simply because he doesn’t like it. Anyone who’s ever worked at a factory or industrial site knows that yellow is kind of everywhere as a safety color. But Musk is, again, one of the dumbest people alive and is totally okay making a massive decision that will almost immediately cause harm, solely because he wants to.

He’s not playing 4D chess, he’s playing baby’s first turn-based strategy game and even then he’s not very good at it.

Pretty sure that’s what Musk thinks his is.

Reminds me of mandrakes from Harry Potter. They scream like they’re alive but they’re just there to be harvested.

Funnily enough, this is exactly how billionaires view us.

Ooh, ooh, look at the price of a single Tomahawk missile or anything else we regularly blow up, even in training exercises!

You can either aid democracy in South Africa, or have 1 Tomahawk. I wonder which does the most good…
