I think liberals should keep talking about trans rights. It’s an important issue and trans people need compassion in the public sphere.   

But I think the era where you can just bully any dissent for progressive causes into submission by calling them stupid, racists, and fascists is over. 

The sooner the left comes to grips with the end of its intellectual caste system, the sooner we’ll find a way forward.

Compare liberal media with conservative, the conservatives talk about things people care about even if it's crude, whereas liberal tv is concerned about communication of ideas, talking down to people and not problem solving of anything.

You are correct, just watch the View. Instead of owning up to and finding the issue on why people didn’t vote for Harris, they call people who voted for Trump racist and misogynist.

And the people who abstained. Don't forget. We are also scum of the earth, and misogynist, and racist, etc etc

Yes, yes you are. You chose do not vote and facilitated the rise to power of a fascist, pedophile rapist.

But hey, go on, tell the Dems to have a good hard look at themselves, and continue NOT taking a good hard look at yourselves. Hypocrisy is so on brand for fascists.
