Yes.
No matter the cause, the problem for Democrats is existential. The Republican Party and its vast media apparatus are engaged in a campaign to reframe the most fundamental debates about American society: the role of women and minorities in public life, the continued existence of the New Deal state, the contours of the right to vote. If all Democrats do is attempt to match public opinion, they’ll be forever operating within a Republican frame, stuck watching the polls while Republicans move them. What has happened with trans rights will happen over and over; an endless cycle of perpetual retreat. I don’t mean to reduce the issue to a cold political calculus. The best justification for supporting trans rights is that trans people are real and deserve civil protections. If supporting them was deeply unpopular, it would still be the right thing to do. Politics isn’t a series of McKinsey presentations, it weighs on human life and dignity.

if you are a democrat who is retreating on and abandoning trans people, you are evil and throwing all trans people under the bus won’t stop them for coming after you next

This follows Elon agreeing with a blatantly racist post about South Africans.
A screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk responding "Yes" to a post by Jonatan Pallesen. Pallesen's tweet claims that White South Africans are being persecuted in their home country and are among the few population groups with a net-positive economic contribution. Below the tweet is a world map displaying a color-coded financial contribution of first-generation immigrants to the Netherlands, with a caption explaining the methodology based on Dutch statistics. The map uses a gradient from red (negative contribution) to blue-green (positive contribution). The image has a timestamp of "3:36 AM · Feb 4, 2025" and shows "6.8M Views."

Was just thinking how David Lynch’s body was found in a seated meditative position. What a dreamer. He just ascended the mortal coil. What a way to die ✨

Let’s not lose sight of why the govt actually banned tiktok and what the inciting incident was for Democrats to take up the charge. It was speech on the app related to Gaza. Drop Site News has been doing great reporting on this x.com/dropsitenews...
