Trans journalist Erin Reed has published a list of Democratic midterm candidates with anti-trans records, and the question she is forcing is one the party would rather not answer: if trans voters keep rewarding Democrats who harm them, what signal does that send? The calculation is real, the stakes are high, and there is no clean answer.

      If we don’t turn things around, literally everyone everywhere loses. Trans will go first, but then the rest of us lgbt, racial minorities, etc.

      When all the toothless hillbillies have killed all lgbt, immigrants, religious/social minorities, they’ll be left standing with empty magazines in their precious AR-15s wondering why everything still sucks.

      The one tooth in front of the mouth still dangles and their finger-pointing pattern unrecognized. “Them white Christians are the wrong kind of Christians. Git 'em!”

      Military is already doing it with Mormons. Nobody is safe.

        I don’t know why some humans have such an intrinsic need to hate other groups of humans but I wish they’d turn that hate unto billionaires
