Remember…these are the problems “real” flag waving Americans are worried about.

Man alive, I'll tell ya. If this is the stuff these people obsess over when we are living in one of the greatest times of economic prosperity in the history of our country, low crime, and relative worldwide peace, you've got to wonder what they're going to become transfixed by when the shit actually hits the fan one day.

Totally agree. But giving that as the response to my question reads very similarly to the same type of non-answer response Democrats give when they get asked where in a pregnancy they draw the line on elective abortions.

“It rarely happens, so what’s the big deal” isn’t good enough. A lot of really bad stuff is rare.

It’s definitely a helluva lot more rare than say… school shootings… but we wouldn’t want to pubs to care about actual issues.
 
Is someone spraying spittle all over this thread? Or is the thread broke? I keep seeing a bolded title but few new posts.

What I’m saying is that almost every person who is applauding this at a Trump rally has never even seen a transgender person. It is an irrelevant aspect of life for the vast majority of the population yet MAGA treats it like it’s the most important issue facing our country today. You are being manipulated.

Agree with the general theme of this post but have a quibble that makes the message even more powerful, imo. I would wager that the majority of the population (even MAGAs) has encountered a transgender person at some point in their lives... and they didn't even notice. As you said, the transgender community has zero impact on the vast majority of Americans and it's abhorrent that bigotry toward this population is a key plank of the Republican party platform. I guess it makes effective fear porn for those afraid of their own shadows though.

The only people that this issue affects in any significant way is the transgender community itself. Everyone should be free to be who they are without fear of prejudice and discrimination. I have a close family member who is transgender and she didn't feel comfortable coming out until she was almost 30 years old. I hate that for her and it shouldn't have to be that way.

Not having the same issue. What is the last post you see prior to your post?

I vote early simply because it would really suck if something happened to me on or shortly before Election Day and I couldn’t vote because of it.

In 2008, I voted early because between the start of early voting and election day, I was undergoing an operation that had a 10-day survival rate that not nearly as high as I would have liked. I was really bummed when I found out that the election folks actually check to determine if early voters survived until election day. But I did survive, and on Election night my brother and I stayed up until around 4 am, despite the election have been called for Obama earlier. We were staying up to see in Obama would carry NC. HE DID!

Do you have anyone on super ignore? If you do and there are posts by that person or posts replying to that person, the thread title will show bold but you won't be able to see any new posts. Nor will the thread title go back to normal after you visit the thread because you aren't seeing the post(s) that cause it to be bold.

So glad you survived, my friend.

I’d say they’ve seen trans people…..they just don’t know they’ve seen a trans person.

I think it's fun to vote on election day when all of the attention is on the election and you feel like you're part of a bigger event.

But it's also a pain to make a random Tuesday work and so I vote early nearly every time.

If the US made voting easy by making the Election Day a national holiday, I’d love voting on that day. But of course we do not, because….??? ….too many of the wrong people might actually vote. So I prefer to vote early in person.

Give Trump credit for one thing. He figured out early on that the entire Republican party, and every single one of its voters, are a bunch of submissive beta cucks who relish being lied to and assumed to be easy marks. He exploited it masterfully.

Yep. As I’ve mentioned before, I was anti-Trump in 2016, but can give folks a pass for getting duped once. It’s anyone since about 6 months after he took office who still supports him (or doesn’t like him but clutches their pearls and still votes for him) who I have no respect for.

Same here. Perfectly stated. I was one of the moronic idiots who voted for him in 2016. Six months into his time in office was Charlottesville. Permanently lost me then.
