    And I am backing away from ever voting for another democrat unless they can prove – with receipts – that they are 100% pro-trans. Although, if no one stands up to the maga regime, voting will almost certainly be rigged on a national scale from now on.

      That attitude of drawing lines in the sand if the Democrats get your vote is why Trump won in 2024.

        If dems couldn’t trip their way over a line in the sand massive human rights concern to win an election, whose fault is that, really 🤔

        No, it must be the people that have expectations that their government should protect people from human rights violations rather than perpetrating them that are wrong!

        Can we not do this? Trump won in 2024 because more people voted for him. And trans people are allowed to be suspicious of a political party that is actively throwing them under the bus.

        I’m a leftist and not a registered democrat; democrats aren’t owed my vote.

        Edit: human rights are non-negotiable.
