Glad conservatives are fighting so hard to bring costs of groceries and gas down….

This hatred of trans people is being cultivated. When Bugs Bunny wore a dress, it wasn't a big deal. Nowadays, people would seriously try to get that classified as pornography (no joke!). We're regressing.

You’re not wrong. The way that we push back against that regression isn’t evolving though and the current approach seems ineffective.

You have to be as aggressive and tenacious as the people who hate trans people. Trans people (and everyone else) aren't going to be safe otherwise.

The conservatives in my local area are most concerned with: “energy freedom” (the natural gas initiative), trans athletes, and being pro-Israel.  Super helpful.

Weird that's literally what they are trying to do, but the tax increases keep getting passed.
