    It's sad how well the right wing culture wars campaign worked. I'm sorry.... Truly sorry you have convinced yourself of this narrative.


    The right wing has a long century long history of creating fake moral panics. It's a history you should learn so you don't become a victim of these bad faith moral panic campaigns.

    LOL ok

    I'm sorry that my opinions aren't based on thread counts in the BBS instead of real world experiences.

    Your real world experiences of the oppression you felt in that one meeting where you had to use pronouns.


    I can guarantee to you that if that right wing infrastructure of trans panic didn't exist this single incident of yours would be a passing moment you'd immediately forget. But because of that moral panic being part of the American zeitgeist, now when something as trivial as a business meeting using pronouns happens to you it is seared into your brain as an aspect of said existing moral panic.

    1) I didn't limit my examples to a single meeting
    2) I didn't feel oppressed. Trans issues don't bother me at all. They have zero impact on me. But I know how much they aggravate people and I cringe when they are being discussed because I know how a subset of the liberal base reacts to them.

    So you want Democrats to interfere with private corporations and ban social media algorithms that concentrate on spamming content to reinforce prior beliefs to maximize engagement?


    People are annoyed by trans issues not from their lived experiences. They are annoyed by them because their social media feed is telling them to be annoyed about it.

    You are asking for Democrat politicians to do the impossible. The right wing controls the perception of the trans issue. They inorganically brought the issue up through random anecdotes of transgender swimmers you can count with one hand at women swim meets.

    Wtf happened to the guy who co-hosted the Man Show?

    Did he wear the dress with Chappele's name on it?

    There are mindless antibodies on this forum that will cling onto any slight thought and commentary contrary to their own oft-repeated opinions that some group passed onto them.

    They hang on much like those holdout Japanese soldiers roaming around some jungle island.

    Love the dehumanization. Good energy.

    Apparently disagreeing about trans people being the reason Harris lost invoked a desire for someone to compare humans to inhuman mindless entities.

    It seems like a slight disagreement has made you holdout like a Japanese soldier roaming around some jungle.

    To be clear I didn’t say trans people were the reason Harris lost. The trans “issue” isn’t even about trans people. But I didn’t even say it was the trans issue.

    I'm curious. Why do you think the person you support winning a election means you can't be racist?

    You said Democrats concentrating on the trans issue is part of the reason why they lost. I'm telling you that is wrong because the trans issue is a fake moral panic started inorganically through right wing social media campaigns. Apparently that means I'm a "mindless antibody"

    A lot of people on the left are just in complete denial about the culture war crap. Yea, right wingers amplify it non stop because it works. It sets up liberals to kick themselves in the nuts. But really, they don’t have to.

    You can pretend that young people, men and Hispanic men in particular are moving in huge numbers to Trump because of fake moral panic but that will not help win the next elections (if there are any.)

    Young men don’t need a right wing blog to tell them anything when they see this with their own eyes in the television they watxh, the movies, etc

    Honestly this just screams of someone who doesn't understand modern media concepts and how they spread information and narratives.

    The right wing shift of young males is a result of being more detached from their local community and being more attached to online communities which results in loss in social interaction and connections that can create a lost sense of purpose and identity. This resulted in a prime market for "masculinity influencers" to come in an spam them hate content for why women won't touch them (because of feminism) and why they don't get job opportunities (because dei hires) to create para social relationships that are extremely profitable to said influencers. And hate content is so much easier to grift off of because young males who are socially isolated are going to naturally be more engaged with content centered around hatred and scapegoating.

    These people are not reading democratic politics literature and watching Democrat political content about trans people and making natural conclusions that this trans issue has gone to far. These young men are rather subscribed to YouTube gaming channels that tell them their games are being ruined because of "trans and woke agenda".

    Social isolation leads to being easier targets for online right wing propaganda and we are seeing social isolation of young males at a all time high in American history.

    I do find it revealing with how different media circles can shape completely opposite narratives. I believe the literal exact opposite is the reason why Harris lost. She campaigned post DNC convention as some odd spiritual third term of a Bush Jr presidency invoking 2000s era GOP politics, claiming that Goldman Sacs, a investment bank famous for being a large part in the 2008 financial crisis, endorses their economic plan, claiming that we need the "most lethal military" in world history, waxing lyrical about small business owners, campaigning with a family name that is most attached to the neo-conservative war on terror era of politics etc.

    People are struggling to pay rent and Harris is out there talking about how tax breaks are the difference between a average American struggling with basic expenses and becoming a self employed entrepreneur. It's absurd.

    If you voted for Trump you voted for a person who said migrants poison the blood of this country.

    Make of that what you will

    Actually I voted for someone who will do something about mothers and daughters getting brutally raped and murdered by animals who have no business being in this country. That's what I make of my vote.
