>Where I diverge is in what that kindness is hiding in the long run. Because yeah, the Trump crowd might say “we can still be friends,” but what happens when you start poking their sacred cows? When you press on racial inequality, climate policy, income disparity, or even just ask for hard evidence behind their more conspiratorial claims? That tolerance starts to crack fast.
I’m getting to this.
Yes, we can judge both sides by their worst examples.
There are Republicans who believe outlandish shit. I absolutely hear you. The Qtards, the conspiracy theorists, the cranks - the ones shoved in your face by the media every day because outrage drives engagement.
This brings me to my next point:
>The trans issue
I’ve talked about it in prior threads, but I’ve lost multiple friends to suicide.
At least 3 of them, before doing so, declared they were women. These were friends in deep blue communities given all the support and kindness for their choices, all the validation they could ever need - and they still took their own lives.
I still, to this day, feel their loss. They were promised something unattainable, something perfect - a way out of their misery, and then cheerled right off the plank.
That’s not even going into the horrors of sex change surgery. If you haven’t looked it up… it is genuinely nightmarish in nature. The stories behind it are heartbreaking to the extreme.
I volunteer my time with detrans advocate groups. I have spent years on the phone talking people off ledges and pill bottles, not always successfully.
The left’s full embrace of transexuality is well-intentioned, but in practice amounts to socially sanctioned castration of the autistic, of the undesirables, of the weird kids in school who just want to belong. It is backed by the same drug companies who profit off someone who now needs lifelong medical attention (products), who the Dems have shamelessly gotten into bed with.
Trump is doing a lot on this.
