how exactly did the trans movement help trump get elected
Short answer: Because they killed all progressive movements.
Long answer: Trans activists hijacked and colonized the women's movement and the gay community, and even other movements such as BLM and disability rights, so now every protest has to be about "trans" people. No group can protest, fund-raise, or advocate for just themselves without pasty Gen Zers with neon hair and creepy middle aged men in wigs screaming about how they're the most oppressed people ever and it's their right to rape and kill anyone they disagree with.
"Trans" people and their allies have spent the past decade bullying everyone into submission, ostracizing and threatening anyone who questioned or criticized them, making every march, movement, and slogan about themselves, and destroying women's rights and the gay and lesbians communities from the inside.
This left the door wide open for conservatives to come in and finish us off. If it wasn't for "trans" people and their allies, we would've likely still had a solid defense (class/female/gay solidarity) against the rise of the far right, and Trump may not have been elected a second time.
But instead we have tribalism, insane amounts of violence, hate, and censorship, struggle sessions, and fractured movements that are mere shadows of their former selves, and it's all thanks to "trans" people and their allies.
They tore our communities apart, stripped us of our hard earned rights, spaces, and resources, and then mercilessly beat us until we lay on the ground, unable to defend ourselves from the MAGAs, who finished the job by simply walking up and setting our bruised and bloodied bodies on fire.
And instead of putting the fire out, "trans" people and their allies are watching us burn while insisting they're actually the ones on fire.
That's how they contributed to Trump's election.
Right because the trans movement is a pincher arm of conservatism. It laid the groundwork for bringing back actual conversion therapy. It laid the groundwork to bring back the idea that women must be feminine and it made damn sure that no one could fight back aginst the first shots taken by maga by bogging down any organization with whataboutisim and semantic games.
Really good post. I live in a conservative area in a red state: you would not believe the amount of people I've talked to personally who have said "I don't have a problem with gay people but this transgender nonsense is too far. I can't support this." Actually, you probably can believe it, because it's happening everywhere and not just with conservatives but other left leaning people as well.
Even the most conservative normie can understand gay. You don't have to do anything to be gay, you just like the same sex. They might not like it but we were moving towards an overall "live and let live" sentiment. They do NOT understand transgender and they do NOT like it when it's applied to children. That along with the inordinate amount of perverts in the trans community, browbeating anyone who speaks out of turn, and being overall hostile and dismissive to anyone who questions it has turned a lot of people against the LGBT community. It became too unrelatable, too confusing, and too weird for a typical person to accept.
Fealty to trans shit has shamed, embarrassed, and destroyed faith in the competence of Dem politicians completely, in a way that has never been seen before. These people are out here holding press conferences and vital legal proceedings where their answer to âwhat is a womanâ is âI donât knowâŚđđđđŤĽđŤ¨đľâđŤ I will have to consult a biologistâŚâ This being capstoned by them lying and defending the shit out of Joe âdementiaâ Biden until they were literally forced to stop by the kid shouting the emperor has no clothes that was the debate.
They have effectively shown the American people that their biggest claim to fameâ equal rightsâ is no longer their priority. And theyâre surprised no one is voting for them.
It is my pipe dream that someday every American realizes no politician cares about us and never has.
The Democrats are not spineless. They're not cowards. They're not fighting back (much) because they don't care what the Republicans do to this county or its people.
They embraced "transgender" crap because they were paid to. They killed much of solidarity between and progress made by women, gays, working class, etc., because it was profitable. Even if they're elected out of office, they have enough money to be just fine. That includes your beloved AOC, who wouldn't piss on any of you if you were on fire.
And also, about the conservative normies: I believe it because I have also seen it. I live in a red state. I know conservatives who are indifferent to homosexuality but up in arms about "transgender".
A few replies on this have mentioned the gradual conservative acceptance, and they're right. Conservatives were slowly coming around, viewing us indifferently at the very least. I noticed the shift after same-sex marriage was legalized. It was begrudging, but most lost interest in protesting it.
Until "transgender" became a thing.
I still stand by my original statement that the trans movement HELPED Trump win. They tore the Left apart AND re-convinced conservatives that we were all perverts coming after their kids.
The trans movement also made a lot of women and gay men politically homeless. Suddenly, women were forced to accept perverted men in their spaces, we can't say breastfeeding, lesbians and gay men are being pushed to have sex with the opposite sex, and children are being exposed to porn disguised as queer activism. The trans/queer movement latched on so tightly to the LGB community that we can no longer properly separate them, at least not easily.
So we have the liberals, standing on their soap boxes promising to expand the reach of these types of men, allowing them access to vulnerable women, telling children they're in the wrong body, calling exclusive same sex attraction transphobic, and promoting bullshit female erasure in medicine.
We also have conservatives, promising to remove males from women's sports, prisons, and shelters, that they'll enforce proper sex markers on legal documents, and remove perverted lessons from schools. While also fighting to get rid of abortion, birth control, no fault divorce, and gay marriage.
So if you're a woman or a gay man, where are you supposed to go, politically? Both sides are against you. So some are voting conservative on the idea that the can win back abortion, birth control, and gay marriage, while others are voting independent or abstaining.
And this isn't just an American problem. America is a big old dead canary in this coal mine though. This is happening globally, I see it in Canada. Where do we go? Nobody cares about women or gay people. It's all about pandering to the TQ+.
The trans issue single-handedly managed to put women and gays in a really tough position when it comes to elections, where we basically have to decide which kind of misogynist/homophobe weâre going to vote for. Which rights/protections weâre okay with voting to lose. All because the trans community decided that they need to be the priority at all times, and decided that to make this happen, they needed to trample all over women and gays instead of listening to us and working with us (while demanding that we be in constant solidarity with and subservience to them).
