You can't literally primary everyone.
But you can make everyone afraid of being primaried, and that will change a lot.

The reason that these types always jump straight to paranoid terror-fantasies about murder and being eaten is because they are at least slightly aware that the machine building their wealth runs on feeding everyone beneath them into it to be ground up for Capitalism.
WATCH: “What about the rich? Do they get shot? It’s like they’re making Wall Streeters walk out onto the ice in the East River… class warfare… eat the rich.”

Glad this is out in the open. People aren't aware of Christian Nationalist theology and how they are the largest Zionist pro Israel bloc in America.
Michele Bachmann says Christians should be thrilled about the Israel/Iran war: "We are living in the times that the Bible said that the prophets longed to see. The prophets of the Bible wanted to be alive now!"

1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag.
It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising.
Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them.

Trump Took Stonewall’s Trans Flags. New Yorkers Brought Their Own.
It is impossible to separate the transgender community from the history of Stonewall, no matter how hard the government may try.

Every endorsement of Cuomo, every dollar donated to him, every vote thrown his way is the Democratic Party saying, "We understand that young people, the poor, and marginalized groups feel we've abandoned them, and we want them to know that they're right. Fuck them."

So Trump is threatening to use the FBI against any hospital providing transgender surgeries to those under 18.
Note: Such procedures, typically limited to top surgery and in some rare cases, bottom surgery at 17 before going to college, are legal.
This is meant to scare hospitals out of care.

It's unfathomable much money and effort is being expended to fight against trans rights, the entirety of the religious right, groups like Heritage, ADF, etc, the whole of the Murdoch media empire, entire governments, and just about every billionaire that's losing their minds in a transphobic frenzy.
if the case for trans rights was so weak, we wouldn’t need five hundred op eds and talking heads constantly trying to convince us it was weak! it would just look weak on its own

Kind of insane that they've been legislating trans people out of the public space as hard as possible for the past five years and now dems are going "well we just have some concerns" ABOUT WHAT, MOTHERFUCKER?? THE ONE TRANS GIRL IN CALIFORNIA WHO'S ABOUT TO BE PUBLICLY SACRIFICED???
Indefensible comments on trans participation in sports from Dem Senator Ruben Gallego.
The claim that trans girls in sports are endangering cis girls is an incredibly dangerous (and entirely fabricated) rhetorical choice.

Conservatives will likely point to private charity or paid work as the solution here. But families on SNAP are already relying on overstretched food banks to fill in the gaps in the program. And most families on SNAP are already working--their jobs just don't pay enough to keep their kids fed.
