For the second election cycle in a row, the rights of transgender people have taken center stage politically, despite their accounting for only about 1% of the U.S. population and many voters identifying other issues as far more important — splitting Republicans and Democrats, but also Democrats among themselves and putting the party on the defensive.

    It’s because these rainbow fascists (aka Democrats) are beholden to the same moneyed interests as Republicans. Some people on the left are starting to wake up to the fact that identity politics is being pushed to the forefront to divide the left and keep them as ineffectual as ever.

      republicans pass literally hundreds of anti trans bills, democrats are trying to stop and undo those bills because this is America and we have freedom, and dipshits like you call them the same and call democrats “rainbow fascists” for trying to keep and restore the rights of trans people. i fucking hate “independents”.

        Gavin Newsome, the governor of California, just vetoed a trans rights bill, so go cry to someone else. There’s your fucking Dems at work, idiot.

        We’re not talking about all Democrats. We’re not even really talking about Democrats. We’re talking about DINOs- Democrats in Name Only. Those are the transphobes pretending to be Democrats that cheated their way past a Democratic primary.
