As a trans woman, I approve of this message
What a weird thing to say. Weirdo.
Walz wants to protect trans kids. Has dump even spoken to a kid, apart from the ones in dressing rooms he’s trying to fuck? I bet he’s barely spoken to barron
I watched some of this press conference. I didn’t see Trump as completely out of it. But he did seem tired. He said the same exact shit but with no energy or conviction.
Trump is committing the cardinal sin of television coverage. He’s boring.
Seems like the GOP is heavy into others’ genitalia.
Especially childrens’ genitals. They’re obsessed with those.
GOP : Genitals Over People
or possibly
GOP: Genitals Of (the) Prepubescent
genital-obsessed pedos
You win the internet for today.
Which you gotta admit…it’s a bit weird. What a bunch of weirdos.
That’s because no one wants to see theirs
Sure, don. I can see it. It’s like they’re on some sort of trans mission. It’s automatic for them. But as soon as they’re in a clutch, their priorities will shift. they’ll change gears and reverse their position.
have some lemmy gold
Awwww, that’s adorable.
Well, now I’ve gotta print one. 🤩✨
(What does the other side look like, though? Hmm.)
I also have this one, maybe it will inspire you:
Ooh. I’m a fan. 🤘🏽☠️
It seems like trump has leaky fluid and that really grinds his gears.
He’s out of 10mm sockets. We’ve all been there.
Direction*
Reminder that this guy wants to fuck his own daughter.
I knew people who didn’t think that whole thing was fucked up. I asked them if they’re just turned on by incest and they started yelling at me but didn’t say no. I don’t talk to them anymore lol
Not because I don’t believe you, but because I actually do, but are there sources I can use? This is the first I’ve heard (read) this.
Just google “trump wants to fuck ivanka” and take your pick of articles, including trump quotes.

There’s a lot of material out there.
“Whether it’s 15 or 20, it’s numbers that nobody’s ever heard before"
I guess Donald just discovered two new numbers? Bringing his total known numbers to just below Kindergarten level.
He knows the biggest numbers.
The war against trans people is not a winning strategy.
Yeah don’t campaign for or against us. Neither works. Try campaigning for or against oil, more Americans have experienced a heat wave than one of us
maybe campaigning for trans people won’t be a huge draw, because unlike transphobes most people don’t even have trans on the mind… but i think walz’s “mind your own damn business” does work. it’s such a great line that works for trans rights as well as reproductive rights.
Oh absolutely, I think that’s really the sweet spot. When you say it’s about trans people a lot of people don’t care, but when you say it’s about your right to deal with your own healthcare without government interference people really like that
Seriously, I have only met like five trans people in my entire life. None of them have been a burden on me in any way. People should vote on issues that actually affect their own lives.
Yeah, like honestly the winning move is to mention us on the side at queer events. We’re common enough that losing or gaining us can be significant especially in a primary, but what we’re asking for isn’t huge and if isn’t something so important to the average voter.
My state didn’t have a winter last year and more and more rust keeps accumulating on our belt, maybe focus on talking about how you’re gonna bring Ohioans Union jobs and snow.
They have no platform and can no longer win without someone to demonize. I’m sorry that’s you.
Same. I just don’t get how even the most rabid redhat thinks that punching down on trans is going to help them to find healthcare, put food on the table, put their kids through school, etc…
They effectively lost the culture war on Teh Gheyz and have moved onto trans. It seems as if in most rural areas, that would basically be about bashing on either no one, maybe one specific person, or at most a handful of people. And the qons seem to be making this a central thing…well, that, and the migrant caravans. How the hell is this even remotely a serious policy?
Their only policy is that you should live in fear and only they can save you. Sometimes I long for the predictable fuckery of the 80s and 90s, when the Monopoly man hung out with the Jesus freaks, but even then they were demonizing LGBT people and claiming Democrats will ruin America, it’s their only card.
Villifing the “other” is throwing red meat to the base. It’s an easy sell to the ignorant. And also the very first target of the Nazis. Trans people are the lowest hanging fruit for the mental midgets that make up the maga base.
Democrats need to learn something though, because when trump is, finally, irrelevant there will be a vacuum. I don’t think it’s hard to make an appeal if you look at Bernie sanders crossover appeal and the mistakes of the Clinton’s.
Clinton’s are called “third way democrats” designed to win back some “Reagan democrats”. Economic policies that are very similar to conservatives while relying on social justice issues for their legitimacy among the base fron the left. That left literally zero benefit and minimal consideration for working class and rural whites. It’s also why I love the pick of Walz, he speaks to this voting bloc very effectively and the way Kamala is handling the campaign, specifically shutting down the “lock him up” chants makes me think that dems are on this wavelength also.
The case that needs to be made is something I’ve best heard described by MLK (I’ve also heard Bernie echo the same term) as “Economic Justice”. Which is basically Marxist class theories and the money aspect of “all of God’s children, being free at last.” regardless of race. Being able to judo the “out of touch liberal elites” developed under the concept of Clinton democrats into “out of touch billionaire weirdos” of Trump, Vance and Musk is something the DNC should really focus on. Easier said than done though, those weirdos have infinite firehoses of infinite bullshit.
I want to see this thing taken to its logical extreme. Like that war was once on the entire queer community, now they’re largely targeting trans people because the acceptance of gay men and lesbians is so widespread, pretty soon we’re going to have sitting members of congress calling for the death penalty of People Who’s Favorite Color Is Puce. We have to save the children from the evil Pucer agenda.
Yeah, the target just moves to whatever’s the topic of the year. Interestingly enough, it’s always Republicans doing the targeting.
They’re really banking on America really caring about if someone is gay or trans huh. Bold move. The only people who give a shit are the weirdo wannabe christians and fox “news” watchers. I’m more into having a good human in office rather than an old orange racist rapist with 34 felonies and dementia. The republikkklowns have nothing they can do besides attack their opponent and with Harris and Walz, that’s a losing strategy. VOTE!!! Volunteer to give rides to those that couldn’t vote without it.
Yes, they’re banking on roughly half of American voters. Terrifying, isn’t it? E.g., “A majority of respondents to a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation poll say gender is determined at birth and support restrictions on health care and sports participation.”
That’s not half of voters, that’s half of people who respond to polls about gender opinions. Specific polls are twrrible ways to gauge general trends.
Trump seems confused again, must have missed nap time.
He‘s just weird like that
Why doesn’t the press call him out on his drill and energy lies to his face? We are the world’s biggest oil producer. Period. He isn’t going to maximize anything.
Because those who would are not invited.
That’s it. I wonder all the time how Trump doesn’t get
showsshoes thrown at him anywhere he goes. It’s because he stays in safe spaces.So you reminded me about an article that laid out the case for the writers strike in 2007/8 being the reason he was president (because of how it caused reality TV), and about how your comment a clever callback to when he had his own show…then I realized you meant shoes.
Haha. Yes. Shoes.
Even if it was true (it’s not, the right wing seems heavily obsessed with lgbtiq people) why the f**k should we care? Lol
I have some trans and many gay friends. It doesn’t even get mentioned. They’re just people lol. I believe people living on the street or are terminally ill probably have bigger priorities than peoples sexual orientation and preferences
I’m fairly sure kids getting shot at school regularly might be a bit of a bigger issue to most
Republicans need something to talk about.
I guess. I have plenty of single gay and trans friends if they’re interested though (they seem to be, and that’s ok because my mates are legends)… Strangely enough, they don’t seem to discuss this stuff at all unlike the right wing.
I want to ask one of the dumbest redhats near me to try to explain, in full, just what the hell low-t means by this.
I was pretty confused by redhats at first. I was like “Hey man, I thought people liked Linux around here”
Even among linux enjoyers redhat has stigma now. Iirc they went closed source a bit ago
Rhel is not closed source just letting you know
Republicans are heavy into the couch fucking thing
I’m also heavy into the transgender world. So is Trump actually. It’s this world. I usually just call it “the world” though.
