President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.
The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”
(Everythimg said is meant to be taken in a general.context and not specific to you - except the part about creeping your profile. I speak like that sometimes, and I don’t mean to say anything about you specifically)
I may not agree with everything you say or think, (I don’t know, I haven’t creeped your profile), but the ability for us to disagree (as long as it doesn’t harm anyone - except those who seek to destroy us) is the basis for civil society, and as of now, whatever differences you and I may or may not have regarding our current life choice or lifestyles is immaterial in the face of a literal apocalyptic threat coming from south of our border.
We all need to suck it up and put our truly petty differences aside in order to essentially save our nation, and our humanity, and humanity as a whole, for that matter.
I’m all about do whatever the fuck you want to do. As long as you don’t hurt myself or others,cool. I don’t give one fuck.
What I do care about is stopping a psychopath and his neonazi evangelizers destroy any hope for any future that isn’t pure hell.
Can we do that?
Can we just relax our tribalism that people like trump has allowed the powers to foment this artificial hatred so many of us have let take hold of us?
Can we work as one for the common good?
I fucking hope so.
Or we all die in our smug righteousness.
Nazis’ whole deal is crushing those who can’t or won’t crush back. Calls to not oppose them are fundamentally calls to enable their conquest and terror
I have been calling for much more than merely opposing - for a very long time.
What I am asking for is for us to set aside our personal differences to do the crushing as one.
When that’s done, we can debate our petty grievances and parliamentary theatrics once again.
