    Truly and harrowingly sadly:

    Conservative voters hate trans people simply because they’re told to

    Conservative politicians tell their voters to hate trans people because it distracts the voters whilst the politician robs them (of their rights, their potential or simply their actual fucking money)

    It’s currently trans people because the previous victim roster of gay dudes and middle eastern people just isn’t cutting it any more.

      Honestly, I’m pretty sure this is how my grandparents ended up MAGAts. They’re old, in their 90s and their brains are fried. They used to be fairly intelligent, but they can barely think rationally anymore. They still managed to get out to vote for Trump somehow, even after promising everyone in my family that they wouldn’t. They believed that the left is lying just as hard, if not harder, than the right. I don’t know what their views are now that Trump is president again. I don’t talk to them much anymore…
