    It just feels a lot like “oh, trans people? Fuck em. Show me the list!”

    Like I really don’t see how it helps anything to post it here. Go talk to conservatives about it instead of posting it in threads where everyone already knows about it.

    Because calling it a distraction when he is actively trying to kill me and people that I care about really just feels like y’all don’t give a shit about us either.

      Personally I don’t get that impression of, “Oh, trans people? Fuck em.” It’s more, “Strike them at their pressure points because look at this kind of fucked up shit they’re doing!”

      You never know who the lurkers are, and it refreshes minds of our side to go out and remain on message. It’s useful to me in that regards.

      Sadly it’s just a reality that the people we need to convince already support what he’s doing on this issue.
