    TRANSGENDER SPORTS

    How is that even in the top 100 things on the minds of voters? I’m trying to imagine that being a thing pre-Faux and pre-Internet.

    Gotta love a world where you get more access to things like more channels and the Internet, and people become less informed.

    Facepalm

      Nobody serious has this as a priority. It’s not even a thing to be worried about. Most folks that have an ounce of empathy or decent character about themselves just don’t care. So many other issues to be worried about that need to be solved stat lol

        The problem is that absolutely unserious people also vote.

        And Bullshit Mountain has managed to install this “issue” as one of the top 9 issues. And that, for some voters, anyway, is the most important issue.

        Also, Project 2025:

        Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists

          Yah good points. Soooo many single issue voters out there (coughs loudly: catholics) I guess we will see how many of those unserious voters make it out to the polls. I’m cautiously optimistic for this election.

            I mean, I knew the right-wing conversation around this was stupid, but watching Megyn Kelly tell Bill Maher just before the election of 2024 that transgender issues was maybe her #1 issue was…quite something.

              Yah she was paid to say it, and say it loudly as she knew that would piss a certain minority off enough to be inconvenienced and go vote. Apparently it worked.
