"Oh, was I not suppose to say that?"

I guess what we're all saying is that no one, literally no one was waiting for the Senate Republicans to chime in on International Transgender Day of Visibility. We know very well what they think about--wait, that's not fair. Sorry, I'm being unfair. Here I am, suggesting that Republicans don't care about trans people and that's misleading and simply not the case. They
do care about trans people. At least insofar as they can keep beating the drum of "woke Democrats want to trans your kids" in order to con rubes into voting for seven dollar per gallon gas and secret military bunkers under the East Wing.
Case in point, yesterday, when the Democratic Party's X account posted--yeah, I don't know why they have an X account either--anyway, when they posted in support of trans rights, the National Republican Senatorial Committee replied:
 |
"Wow, sick burn, brah."
-literally no one |

Apologies to strawberry vape fans, but
comedy loves specificity. Also, maybe quit? |
Yeah, whatever manosphere-addled, young Republican intern they put in charge of their social media account set down their strawberry vape long enough tap out "No" followed by a heart. I would read this as "no heart," an astonishingly frank, and self-aware thing for a conservative to say. So obviously that's not it. Instead, what they meant is "we disagree with everything you just said." Everything the Democrats said being "we acknowledge that you, trans people that is, exist, and are facing a daily struggle just to exist in the world."

Whoa, whoa, that's a serious allegation.
You'd better have evidence to--oh, right. |
No to all that, is what the NRSC is saying here. No. No to trans and non-binary people existing. Which, great. Super. The GOP looked at the unrelenting shitstorm of torment and vitriol visited upon a small and extremely vulnerable minority in America, and said, "how can we make their lives juuuuuust a little bit worse, while at the same time distract from the child sex trafficking our party's leader is allegedly guilty of?" Any ideas? The answer? A shitty comment on the burnt out husk of what used to be Twitter.
The only silver lining here is that, despite the NRSC's dumb social media post, America's
2.8 million trans and
1.2 million or so non-binary people
do indeed continue to exist. Something which, if there's any justice in the world, we may someday not be able to say of the GOP.

This November, just remember which party brought back internment camps, started a war,
sent armed goons into American cities, deported citizens, threatened our allies, and shielded (and in
many cases are themselves) sex offenders. Assuming that is, we actually get to vote ever again. |
