Says the furniture pervert
and in europe they want to remove everyones privacy. what could possibly go wrong???
Full quote:
In a clip from the interview posted to X by journalist Ken Klippenstein, Watters asked the vice president whether he considers “the militant transgender movement” to be a “domestic terrorist threat.”
“If you are encouraging people to commit acts of violence against the United States government or against your fellow Americans, absolutely. You’re involved in a terrorist movement,” Vance responded.Not that I don’t think violence against trans people is absolutely his intention, thankfully, he didn’t manage to vocalize that specifically to his base, nor is he capable of doing it himself - he’s still very scared of getting sued for hate speech or libel, or for anything hate-related to happen under his direct watch. The quote was basically “If you’re a terrorist, you’re a terrorist!” with numerous wording twists to hope bigots would take further implication.
My point being, keep fighting them for being transphobic, but please don’t reach the level of fear at which you become afraid of daily life.
Ken Klippenstein is citing two inside sources who claim Trump is about to designate trans people as “violent extremists,” and that the FBI will target them, and that is a bit scarier. I think the queer community actually needs to be highly alert and paying attention in the coming days, unfortunately.
Vance feels terrorized by LGBQT? Send in RuPaul!
Surely now democrats will stand up for trans people.
You need a spine to stand
They’d have to stand up for themselves first.
Oh they do that plenty. Against the left.
It won’t let me edit, so I’ll reply instead:
“EDIT”: Nope. They’re blaming people who spoke out against genocide, regardless of how they voted. Like always. We were all there for the 2024 election. Everyone saw the constant barrage of vicious attacks from the right against trans people. The silence from democrats was more deafening than Krakatoa. And now democratic think tanks are starting to talk about dropping even the fake solidarity with trans people.
democrats are useless fucks. they are so fucking impotent and complacent it makes me want to puke.
democrats are useless fucks.
Unless your name is netanyahu. Then they’ll ignore the Leahy law to make sure you get everything you need to genocide Palestinians for them.
In all other things, you can count on them to make up some procedural bullshit to stand in their own way.
wait, so the bullets did NOT say shit like “uwu whats this?”
One of the foundations of capitalism is the strict enforcement of gender binary, and the move from matriarchy to patriarchy (from men needing to enforce monogamy for women, to know who their children are, to ensure passing down and consolidating of wealth)
so yeah trans people, gender non conforming folks, and people practicing non monogamy are a threat to the system, but not in the way theyre proposing
read the origin of the family by F Engles, there’s also a section in transgender warriors by L Leinberg
This guy is such a slob and a loser. A lazy-do-nothing. Seriously, if he was not vice president, any reasonable person would tell him to shut up about his petty thoughts and go do something useful. and we have to listen to his BS. Goddamit.
You think this won’t work with the dolts?
Well if you start treating them like terrorists, some might choose that path. It is a very possible self-fulfilling prophecy. Especially when you threaten their lives like that.
That’s most likely the intention behind this. The right would be elated about news of actual trans terrorists.
Yeah, it’s a pretty classic move. Persecute a group of people until inevitably some of them fight back, then point at that to show “see, they’re violent, so we have to crush them out of existence with as much cruelty as possible!”
Been watching this playbook in real-time in Palestine my entire life.
And they’d still be a republican
coming from someone that plays a drag-queen in college, and has a beTERt eyeliner than USHA VANCE.
whelp guess i gotta pull FBI aggro as a harmless cis white dude
i’m the president of anitfa over here
I’m also the antifa president
I am Spartacus
“I’m Brain, and so is my wife!”
I broke the dam!
Hey, just like the NAZIs.
less than 1 percent of shootings where four or more people were wounded in public were by trans people, and that over 97 percent of the mass killings were committed by cisgender men
That’s a useless statistic on its own.
Roughly 1% of the population is trans so they are neither more likely nor less likely. Just like ordinary people (despite being vilified). In fact, if you leave geriatrics out of the calculation, trans folk are less likely to commit these killings.
So the author’s insinuation is correct despite their logic being wrong, however they are not going to convince pearl-clutching conservatives with that article as it stands.
That less than is doing a lot of lifting, at least using the statistics from the Charlie Kirk exchange prior to his death.
It’s 0.08% So, less than a 10th of a percent.
Leaves less than 3% for cis women. And the rest of the pie is cis men.
So, one group is far more likely to be mass shooters.
Not that we should stereotype any gender as violent terrorists, but if we were too. It would be folks like Vance rather than folks like me.
There’s another 1% that should be focused on, and people should be hungry for them.
