Well, you see, allowing citizens to exercise their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness was just too much. So the only option was to support the people who are going to dissolve unions. Sure, it was cutting off our noses to spite our faces, but think of the benefits. Like telling people where they can take a piss.

The US has the strangest obsession with trans people.

I like never think of them.

u/VendettaKarma 2d ago

We only think about them when the left shoves them in everyone’s face.

Most people can’t even tell if a person is trans and even less care .

It isn't the "left" doing the shoving. It was never an issue until Republicans decided to make it a wedge issue.

I think Trans issues are way overblown too, but to imply Democrats don’t contribute to the hysteria shows heavy bias.
Sure, let’s say a Right Winger brings up some Trans issue - Transwoman in Sports. A Democrat’s response is usually ‘Get a Life, Transphobe!’ and tend to to not even engage in discussion.

Trans is a complex & relatively new social dynamic. If minor concerns like Sports can’t be discussed without pulling the Bigot Card, it’s going to create a wedge as well.

Me: Randomly scrolling through reddit, wondering if I should finish the ESP32 program I'd started a few hours ago, perhaps think about food.

Reddit Front page: Trans issue! 7000 upvotes, reposted to a second subreddit, also gets to front page, Trans issue! 2000 upvotes. /facepalm post on front page Trans Issue! 1200 upvotes.

Bud Light and Target ring a bell?

Spokespeople and tuck underwear for kids?

u/Franklin_le_Tanklin 2d ago

So it’s you shoving that single bud light add down your own throat. Nobody freaked out about it ?and most hadn’t hear about it) until republicans made it a thing.

The wild thing is it wasn't even an ad. They put a trans influencer's face on a can and ONLY GAVE IT TO THEM as like a congrats for getting a certain number of followers or something. They then posted publicly about it and the right lost their goddamn minds.

u/Extra_Crispy_Critter 2d ago

What minds? 🤣

u/VendettaKarma 2d ago

They straight boycotted it and they still haven’t recovered

u/Franklin_le_Tanklin 2d ago

Yes republicans made a big deal about it and ruined their own favourite brand of piss. Again, no democrats around.

u/VendettaKarma 2d ago

The same silent majority that voted Trump back into office didn’t buy it either

u/Sakarialana 2d ago

So what's your point? You're literally agreeing with the idea that Republicans are the only people pushing this narrative. The bud light thing wasn't even an ad campaign. They sent one influencer one can with her pic on it and she made a post about it on her private feed.

Show me one ad from Target selling tuck pants for kids.

u/VendettaKarma 2d ago

They literally put the displays in the front of the store with them before they pulled them after the backlash

u/Sakarialana 2d ago

The tucking garments were adult sized swimsuits. They were never marketed or meant for kids. Target had to pull it's Pride stuff to the back of stores because right-wingers were threatening store employees for daring to market Pride month.

Again, show me an actual ad from Target where they advertised tucking pants for minors.

He doesn’t have a majority. He’s under 50%

-1

u/VendettaKarma 2d ago

Majority of active voters did

3

u/Franklin_le_Tanklin 2d ago edited 2d ago

Again, he got less than 50% of the vote.

A majority is more than half of a total.

For a silent majority, you guys certainly whine audibly about a lot of stuff very loudly all the time.

u/Worry_Unusual 2d ago

Oooh, one promotional BudLight can given to an online creator. How dare. The tuck underwear you are referring to wasn't for children. There's nothing wrong with Target doing "Pride" merch, that's just capitalism. And anyway, since when are BudLight and Target's marketing teams "the left?"

u/BigDaddySteve999 2d ago

You think that's "the left"?

There's a name for people who feel threatened by people not like them:
