Those Dems should think about what percentage of the population is Palestinian and how that went for them last election.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

MBA-brain is what leads to Private Equity buying companies, saddling the companies with massive debts, paying themselves a fantastic annual bonus for their cleverness in, say, selling off the land and assets for a quick cash turn and paying rent on facilities they used to own.

The absolute seething resentment that people with names like Ta-Nehisi Coates, Nikole Hannah-Jones and Clint Smith write best-sellers and win awards. It doesn't matter how few black writers there are, every single one is a usurper of their birthright

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!
