That Trans Thread

[The Grand Nudger]

It's pointless trying to hold a propagandist (accidental or intentional) to anything they say...and mostly because they don't start or end with the truth in any case, as that's not the purpose of the endeavor. That would be, more accurately, creating a new truth. A world building lie for pretext

It's not true, for example, that most americans do not share "our views" on trans issues. The truth is that something like 66% of older americans who answer to cold calling polls and are as a demographic republican leaners say whatever faux tells them, even when they disagree with what faux tells them....which is often. That is emphatically not "most americans" and the subject of disagreement is itself a matter of reich wing political art...with those respondents seemingly in favor of being douches not in favor of that if you change the framing of the question...and not just on this issue, but literally every issue supposedly being litigated. The majority of americans are in favor of protecting trans people from discrimination, according to them, even if you can also get some elderly and low information cohorts to say that sexual predators shouldn't be in bathrooms and big burly men shouldn't be beating up on poor little girls, too.

This is the entire point of reich wing propagandizing and disenfranchisement. They know that people, and their own people, hate their policies. That they have to lie...and disenfranchise their own supporters, in order to build perpetual minority control over the majority. FWIW, I see this particular bit of nonsense as more or less the advice of the for profit political consultant class. "Can't say that, because it will make people hate you, and you won't get elected". They said the same thing about the mad kings racist tourettes. Doesn't work the way they think it does, at least not anymore, if it ever did.
