“We see it now: The hate has shifted to the trans community,” Walz said. “They see that as an opportunity. If you’re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trump’s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are.”

“We’re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about,” he continued. “They’re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.”

    The point isn’t to get the trans vote. Like you say it’s kinda a no brainer for trans people to vote for anyone running against a transphobic guy.

    The point is to put out a rational response to what Trump is doing. Explain to people that might be worried about trans people that it’s just a tactic meant to distract people from the real issues.

    So get people to be less scared of trans people so they’ll focus on actual issues and vote Dem.
