I think its a mistake to frame transphobia as right-wing

They believe their own BS so its not a massive stretch to pretend to believe his too.
The whole thing is just a game to them really, all coddled and cosy in their Westminster bubble, secure in the knowledge that none of the worst consequences of all this BS will ever touch them

Most of the world does not want America to 'lead' them, and your exceptionalism & casual disregard for the welfare, opinions & sovereignty of other states is why. Your state is less than 250 years old, the hubris required to think the world couldn't survive without your 'leadership' is hilarious.
