In light of the Trumpists instantly pivoting to "yeah maybe he did it but who cares":
Difficult to articulate how repulsive this is coming from a political party dedicated to abusing children in every way. Not only does every word reek of Christian nationalism, but the entire onus of national child abuse is placed on trans people. Fucking awful.

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
