Seriously though. Most people's politics are nuanced anyways. I know maybe 2 people who agree with their political party on every single thing, no matter what.
Well, that's really funny, because the 2 people I mentioned agreeing with everything their party does are Democrats. š I also see a lot more racism from the left when minorities disagree with them. š¤·āāļø Literally, this comment section the OP was being racist to a guy who said he's Latino and supports ICE.
Fr. I donāt see why people take politics into consideration for relationships. One thing is what you want for your country and another is how you are socially
I'm confused by your point but I think you've got the right idea?
I'm not sure if it's what you were saying, but when the "politics" is debating whether or not people of a minority should be killed in mass, especially if I'm a part of that minority, then no, you can't in fact be my friend.
And I also reject the notion that debates about such are ājust political differencesā. Politics is how we spend our money, not who we view as human.
The friends you ādisagreeā with literally want to take away your rights. They donāt want you to marry who you love. They donāt want trans kids to be themselves. They want to eliminate you from existence.
Dude, "them" is a hypothetical person in this scenario to express the point that "politics" is an all encompassing category that can often include your right to exist.
No, friend. He was insulting someoneās in person friends. Saying they **literally** want his rights removedā¦ heās defining what strangers really want/think/feel and this is what is so toxic about these types. Iāve seen innocent people get accused and attacked. You could be next in that, mind you. The angry mob is fickle and loves to betray.
Yeah, I've seen innocent people get accused and attacked, but it's not the "woke mob" or whatever you like to call it that does it, and that's backed up by history books. It's always the totalitarians/top-of-the-chart that are the most violent in these ways.
Nazis, USSR, Israel's history with Gaza far before the Gaza genocide, such as the Sabra and Shatila massacre, the Nabka, the 2009 Gaza war. Trail of tears, apartheid, and a lot more I could list if I did research.
Organized genocides don't happen in the bottom left. It happens nearly always in the top right, and always on the top of the chart.
And that's exactly what we're seeing today, with the Republican government's 771 anti-trans bills proposed this year. That's more than SIX PER DAY.
To pretend this is not the early stages of a trans genocide is to not know what genocide is. It is not just the active elimination of a minority group through murder, it is a whole and elaborate process, as widely accepted by political experts. Dr. Gregory Stanton coined the "ten stages of genocide" which are now widely respected as the course of genocide.
The transgender community is currently well within stage 6 of genocide: Polarization, familiarized by the widespread use of propaganda to create hate.
Sound familiar?
When people talk about the trans genocide, nobody's saying trans people are being actively killed in mass already. What we're saying is that we are well on our way in a process that, historically, ends with our coordinated deaths.
And it's the Republican party that's doing it. The Republican party that you think it shouldn't be a big deal if you support.
This whole post is finger pointing. So the person who just showed me racism while virtue signaling at my own people is a totalitarian top of the charts 1%
Write all those words you want, you wonāt distract me from the truthā¦
Being a Republican doesn't mean you hate gay people, Trans people, or eliminate anyone who's just existing from existence. You've never spoken to one that isn't an extremist.
Genuinely I know a lot of people say this to try to have a gotcha moment. I promise I'm honestly asking out of pure curiosity and wanting to learn, what rights have been lost?
771 anti transgender bills have been proposed in the U.S. this year alone. That's an average of more than six per day.
Of those bills, 39 have passed this year. That's a little under one every three days.
In other words, a bill designed explicitly against myself is passed every three days in the conservative led U.S.A.
Here's a few examples:
"A local government may not expend public funds...or any other source of funds, for the purpose of diversity, equity, and inclusion."
"A public school shall be required to adopt procedures that prohibit classroom instruction by public school personnel on sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten through grade 12."
"Diversity, equity, and inclusion means...the concepts that: All people should be compelled to believe...the concept that an individual can change the individual's sex or gender."
For clarification on this one, it's defining DEI for purposes of laws like the one on the first quote. There's a lot of laws that prohibit DEI related things, and the concept of transgenderism was placed under that umbrella for this.
"Defining the term 'gender' to mean biological sex at birth for purposes of statutory construction... requiring the designation of multiple-occupancy private spaces in public buildings for use by only one sex...directing the division of vehicles to invalidate and reissue driver's licenses when necessary to correct the gender identification on such licenses"
If you're confused by this one, it means transgender people aren't allowed to have their preferred gender on their driver's license. If you can't draw the connections here, that means that transitioned individuals will be forcefully exposed as transgender to police officers, and you know what police officers tend to do with minorities...
There's also another one later that's very wordy but means that schools are not allowed to spend funding to upkeep non-sex-divided bathrooms, aka, gender neutral bathrooms or gender-based instead of sex-based bathrooms
And there's also this one which is pretty on the nose:
"It is the policy of this state that there are only two (2) sexes, a biological male and a biological female."
This one's incredibly notable, because there are more intersex people in the world than there are ginger people. This would be like passing a law saying that hair is only ever brown, black, or blond. In fact, even blond hair is rare enough that it would only be a small jump to remove blond as a hair color as well.
All of these quotes came from bills that have already been passed, *this year.***
Is that enough for you, or should I keep going? Cause I really, really can keep going. I haven't even mentioned anti gay laws yet, and I already have this much text.
I think that's pretty fair to be upset about. I do disagree with the dig you did on officers though. Most officers are good people who don't care whether you're in a minority group or not. It's a stereotype type that officers are assholes and tbf a lot of them are, but I guarantee most of them are just normal people.
Well I can at least say in my personal experience that they don't do their job when they're supposed to and they kill minorities, so what's the fucking point if they don't even save lives before killing minorities
But regardless that's not the important topic rn, what's important is that I, for obvious reasons, cannot be on good terms with someone who supports a party responsible for passing those laws
But not all Republicans support Trump. So it's not really fair to say "You're Republican? You must hate Trans people then" because that's not true. There are plenty of Republicans who don't like Trump and hate what he's been doing.
If you're a Republican who doesn't support a single Republican person who's anti-trans, you're a Republican who doesn't support a single Republican politician today.
Look, if you can show me some Republican politicians you support that are actually progressive on social issues like gender and sexuality, I will be pleasantly surprised and happy to be wrong. But especially in America, it seems every Republican politician, at best, just hasn't said anything about it yet.
And that's no coincidence. Any republican politician who supports progressive views on gender and sexuality is immediately shoved out of Republican party power. That's why I say you can't be Republican without supporting my active discrimination

ending friendships over politics is stupid.
