As pragmatic as you want people to believe you are, screeching about 3000 parents and kids making their own choices (whether you agree with it or not) is some fanatical zealot sh**. Those people don't affect you or anyone else's life. Mind your own damn business.

Sounds about right...

In just one incident, when he was 12, Hoyt broke his ankle during a wrestling tryout. "I ended up shattering two bones in my foot,” he said. His parents approached the situation with the usual Followers remedies – rubbing the injury with "rancid olive oil” and having him swig on Kosher wine.

Intermittently, they would have him attempt to walk. Each time, "my body would just go into shock and I would pass out”.

"I would wake up to my step-dad, my uncles and the other elders of the church kicking me and beating me, calling me a f**, because I didn’t have enough faith to let God come in and heal me, while my mom and my aunts were sitting there watching. And that’s called faith healing.”

He had so much time off with the untreated fracture that his school demanded a medical certificate to cover the absence. Forced to take him to a doctor, his mother spent most of the consultation accusing the doctor of being a pedophile.

He was given a cast and medication but immediately upon returning home, the medication was flushed down the toilet, leaving him with no pain relief. His second walking cast was cut off by male relatives at home with a circular saw.

Well, I guess THAT makes parents agreeing to the mutilation and permanent sterilization of their minor children ok, right?

God willing.

Although the basket-case skanks that are cutting their hair because they can't dictate how others vote are all threatening to keep growing out their minge shrubbery until the next election.

I don't think Americans will be able to go to a public beach for a while without seeing Art Garfunkel squeezing out of all the bikini bottoms.

So out of 75M minors 14k are causing a meltdown on the right. 

In the same timeframe around 10k minors died from gun fatalities, yet I don't see a meltdown about that.

Selective outrage for political gain.

Yes, how ridiculous to ***checks notes*** stop thousands of children per year from being sterilized because mental illness has been pushed on them by left wing lunatics.

 

This is why you lose. Because the left has FAR more inherent destructive energy than any gaggle of MAGA retards ever could, and the public recognizes this fact.

Sure, the Trump train is clownish, but they’re actually willing to say "no” when deranged weirdos try to indoctrinate children in bizarre medical procedures. They're actually willing to say "no” when the left is permissive towards roving bands of looters and millions of illegals.

This makes them smarter, fundamentally. You can say you don’t support this aspect of the Democratic Party, but it is an aspect of them, and that aspect overrides everything else.

The left lost because the right had an emotional reaction to a problem - and it IS a problem - that is dwarfed by scores of others ignored by the right because they don't invoke the desired emotional response.

You really cleaned his clock 

Regarding the trans issue - it isn’t just the abhorrent practice of allowing kids to be sterilized and mutilated.. the ped who posts on this board endorses this practice btw - or tbf supports Lupron injections to halt puberty- strange that such a statistically insignificant practice has support of the medical professional in this tiny community but I digress. It’s bad enough for that to happen for kids but it’s the entire culture of this wildly statistically insignificant event being shoved down every child’s throat. Gender neutral restrooms, boys in girls sports, pronouns. Please don’t assert this isn’t happening in schools. I worked for a school that it absolutely happened in. A father who abandoned his 3 kids to move to NYC, call himself a woman, and start a transgender education company that literally goes into schools (like it did the one of the kids he left behind) and train staff on "inclusivity”, proper language enforcement (don’t refer to students as boys and girls use the term "folks”, etc). I see lots of women using their kids supposed gender confusion on their social media in the name of being an example for acceptance. Except maybe when your 5 year old is 16 he will be embarrassed that you plastered his silly phase all over the internet where it will live for eternity. And kids are impressionable. It’s not a coincidence that a much higher incidence of gender confusion happens with celeb kids who then influence regular kids with how different and edgy they are. This is all part of just one issue some on the left want to stick their heads in the sand over and say oh it’s not really happening. I don’t care about it so why should you. Again - we care because it’s being treated as an enormous thing in our communities.

That's less than 3000 people a year. Just like I think policy making for 3000 trans kids rights is ridiculous, building a policy platform of fear of those 3000 kids a year and their parents is equally stupid.

Designing a policy platform out of fear

of offending them is even more stupid

Well, truthfully, it wasn’t "the right” — it was "the center” and "the left’s former base of voters.”

Which might clue you in to how absolutely revolting and a total deal breaker it is to normal people.

When DJT, Bernie Sanders and Josh Hawley agree on something, you know it is probably a good thing.  This wouldn't be under discussion if Harris were elected.

A fringe culture battle is apparently more important than considering whether to put a felon who tried to steal an election back in the White House.

As abhorrent as I find the fringe trans movement, peacocking around like the right has any ethical superiority is absurd on its face.
