It's easy to write off everyone who voted for Trump as a bad person. It's harder to come to grips with the fact that sometimes mostly-good people support and defend awful people. Most of my family is conservative. I don't think they're evil. They're being taken advantage of and lied to.

Not everyone who voted for Trump is a fascist. A lot of them are just stuck in conservative media bubbles and aren't exposed to Trump's bullshit. Or if it does break through, there's plenty of "But the democrats are baby-killing commies" coming from their social circles to counteract.

There have already been numerous lawsuits filed. The order was released at 10 PM on a Monday and there were suits filed by like noon on Tuesday. How much faster do you expect them to go?

Congress is currently controlled by Republicans. There is almost nothing trump could do that would convince them to impeach him.

If a court overturns the EO, I would bet money that funding starts getting disbursed while it plays out in the courts.

“Unhoused”, because “homeless” is starting to take on negative connotations like “bum” had. That’s not to say we *should * be calling people bums. But policing the words people use will always run into this challenge. Best to focus on only the most egregious ones, like n-word, f*g, etc.
January 28, 2025 at 5:23 PM
Even if a word is “banned” because it has a negative connotation, a new word will simply take its place. Homeless people used to (and still are to a lesser extent) be called “bums”. Then there was a push to refer to them as “homeless” because of the connotation of “bum”. Now it’s supposed to be…

It’s up the courts to uphold existing law and overturn the order. The only thing Congress can do is impeach, which they’re obviously not going to do.

…person, but SpaceX is a strategically valuable and successful company that DoD has big plans for, and whose tech has literally been proven on the battlefield in Ukraine.
December 20, 2024 at 3:19 PM
The money we’re giving to SpaceX isn’t related to going to Mars. It’s related to building extremely cheap launch platforms and satellite communication complexes that allow secure communications in areas with minimal infrastructure, both of which have transformative implications. Musk is an awful…

This guy’s family is insanely rich though. Like they could have paid for all of his care out of pocket.

People will absolutely remember this. Trump and RW media will bring it up every chance they get as an excuse for whatever outrage of the day he's getting up to
December 2, 2024 at 6:01 PM
Okay well shitting on democrats for not doing things they’re not capable of doing is definitely not gonna magically change things.
December 2, 2024 at 12:54 AM
You clearly aren’t even on the team. That or you’re delusional about what the team is actually capable of accomplishing.

You spend whole lot of time complaining about the party that wants to protect those groups, and none at all complaining about the party that is attacking them.

How was he going to do that? He didn’t have the votes in the senate to do so.
December 1, 2024 at 9:12 PM
What, specifically, did you want him to do without a filibuster-proof majority that would have even a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving SCOTUS. His administration did a number of things for transgender people, and most of them are tied up in court. What isn’t will quickly be undone by trump
December 1, 2024 at 8:44 PM
No I fully believe life in Florida sucks for transgender people. They should strongly consider leaving and going somewhere else. But I’m not sure what specifically Biden or congressional democrats could do about it, given their slim majority, other than the executive orders he made.
December 1, 2024 at 8:29 PM
Did you reply to the wrong person? I haven’t said anything about DeSantis.
December 1, 2024 at 8:02 PM
Okay well good luck with the complaining. Hope that works out for you.

You have power to effect change in your own life. Move to one if the state you live in is so unbearable.
