…I could have told you that 🤷

Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.
There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.
I think a lot of the pickme’s out there are like the rats on a doomed ship. They are sensing the coming shift before anyone else because they have less to lose and more to gain from becoming early adopters of the new “I was fooled” narrative that is going to absolutely sweep the right after Trump finally keels over.
There will be no successor, at least not of equal power and leadership who can hold Trump’s infinity stone of stupidity, his base of fanatical loyalists who cling to his fetid authenticity like ticks on the back of a deer with spongiform encephalitis.
So when the pendulum of social discourse swings the other way, it will be like magic… every single Trump die-hard and zionist riding on the fact that their positions can hide behind the far worse things going on, will have up and just disappeared like farts in the wind. It will be a miracle, it will be like every nazi and trump sycophant just evaporated back into the shadows, and the grifters will have to suddenly race back into the overton window to capitalize on this temporary change in wind direction.
I hope you’re right!
The long arc of history shows humanity IS progressing, the line goes up and down, and we’re definitely experiencing a “down” at the moment, but over the large scale course we’re nowhere close to where we came from. We are astonishingly lucky that we weren’t born during the 99% of our history that was just brutal survival and small groups of families clinging to existence, being killed by rivals or eaten by horrific monsters in the darkness, or the innumerably vast number of farmers and peasants who had to basically take into account how many of their families would be murdered, raped or starved to death by roving brigands and raiders.
Trumps and the people like him rise from time to time and spit in our faces, but they are all mortal and all pass. Small groups take the best lessons forward because those lessons work and lead to better outcomes. A new dawn shines on the survivors and those who can adapt.
