Trans people exist and will still exist regardless of whatever hate motivated laws they pass. They will do whatever they can to make the lives of trans people more difficult. Legislating based on hatred. This timeline has gone all wrong.
And where are the medical experts to question and answer? Isn't this the definition of big govt interfering in the freedoms, liberties and rights of Americans? Who voted for corrupt politicians into office to do that? I know I didn't; how about you?
So, I wonder how it is GOP can make a properly informed decision unless, that's not the goal, but more nefarious than what they think the transgender are really doing?
Just read that in Erin's email blast and had the same reaction. So enraging that they say this shit out loud, brag about it in fact, and the media continues to concern-troll and somehow get away with pretending that they aren't promoting the evil.
It was never about protecting the kids. It's always been about legislating the lives of everyday people, controlling who gets what and who can identify as who. The hatred & the attacks on trans people were created by them to justify these moves. As cynical as this sounds there's truth in advertising
At some point progressive will realize there is no bottom or no end to what the Right will do and will fight them from the very starts with as much diligence and focus (if not more) as the Right has.
We are though, it's just that we have morals and believe in truth and facts and logic. We are obligated to go high when they go low. We can't out-bully them and we shouldn't want to because we have principles they lack. We have to outlast them
Morals, truth, fact and logic are good. Let’s use those to understand exactly what the Right is doing, communicate it and fight this battle
Intelligently and to win. As Bob Marley said:
“The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?”
Gun fights are usually best avoided, but that's not always possible. Once someone's shooting at me, moral high ground stops mattering in favor of getting out alive.
Yes, obviously if someone's attacking you, defend yourself! I'm saying we have to fight smarter and more ethically than the bad guys, lest we become the bad guys.
I'm saying we don't use their evil weapons (both literal and figurative) even if it's expedient. I don't want to live in authoritarian state of any kind, I don't care who is running it.
Btw. I’m not American but the Dems are not progressive. They are right of center. The Repubs are WAY right. So compared to them the Dems only look leftist.
Wow it's exactly what we have been saying for years that was obvious from the beginning but because of an inability to question transparent self admitted lies we now have to hear those euphemisms presented as fact until they aren't needed anymore
I'm in MI also shared the article myself and contacted my Rep and Sen. Though I don't expect GOP it have inroads here yet, it should be very fucking clear to everyone that this is what the GOP has wanted from day one.
If the fascist shitsacks are gonna try to lay a hand on *any* of us, and that clip is proof they're just itching to do so, better to permanently put the hard-won rights and protections for *all* vulnerable classes out of their reach.
The ELCRA is strong, broad, and popular. Best make it untouchable
Of course, this is obvious. Dehumanize people, make them targets, have people running around that instead of corruption. Their ability to scapegoat any problem on any group except their own legislation is mighty impressive. They own 70% of state houses for decades but keep blaming other people.
Fucking seriously. Don’t they have constituents who need better roads and shit? Why are they wasting their time on what people do with their own goddamned bodies under the guidance of a trained, licensed, and insured physician?
To distract people from demanding the real services that would involve actual work on their part, and to keep opponents busy protecting vulnerable people rather than addressing those needs. It's all a game to them, they give no shits whatever about anything but power.
Hasn't occurred to them that trying to genocide people in a country where a military grade rifle can be bought for a few hundred bucks might be an issue. Destroying someone's life and health by banning transition could lead to an extreme reaction.
If they cared about kids, they wouldn’t be (on the Fed level) fighting increases in the child tax credit, voting against extending family leave, etc. it’s been a farce to anyone paying attention.
They don't CARE they're being hypocritical. Nothing matters to these assclowns except power and the means to get it. They'll say anything to get those, even if it contradicts their previous comments.

You can bet others were in this call as well.

Might be time to look at putting the recently-expanded ELCRA on the ballot as a constitutional amendment just in case, huh?

They are ignoramuses who compensate for their lack of knowledge with misplaced zeal.
Get them some other shiny object, one that's worthwhile.

With their kids.
