        Why? Nothing happened during his first presidency. If he’d learn to shut his mouth and stay off Twitter, I would have forgotten he existed.

        Talk is cheap. The man is a career shit talker. Hit me up when he actually does something that negatively impacts me.

          It’s great that he didn’t stuff any courts that lead to women bleeding to death in hospital parking lots. But hey, it doesn’t impact you personally and those bitches had it coming for choosing to be born a woman, amirite?

            Blame the Supreme Court then. A sitting president cannot force the Supreme Court to do something, or to not do something. Even if you appoint them.

              He doesn’t need to be a sitting president in order to get those people he appointed to do what he wants. He knows exactly why he chose those.

            I’m almost certain he wasn’t patient zero, nor do I believe he had a hand in creating this disease, but I suppose I can’t rule anything out.

          Must be nice being a cis hetero white dude.

          Meanwhile he has promised to ban all transgender care day one and deport 15 million immigrants and is working to remove naturalized citizenship and birthright citizenship.

          Also many women have already died thanks to his court already overturning abortion rights.

          Must be nice to be the one fucking demographic that he won’t hurt.

            Excuse me, sweaty, I’m a masculine presenting trans lesbian who uses him/him pronouns. So yeah, basically a straight dude.

            But seriously, blame your state government for abortion related items. That’s all the SC did: kick it back to the states. Your friends in blue had many opportunities to codify abortion rights over the years. Blame them too. Or blame me if it makes you feel better.

            The T people care, or rather what qualifies as such, is still contested. Many countries have many different opinions on the subject, and the long term impact from some of the “care”.

            Are those 15 million here through legal means or otherwise? The distinction matters a great deal to many people.

              The republicans are going to ban abortion nationwide. Read project 2025

              In a recent speech, trump promised to ban all surgical or chemical transition methods for minors, and promised to ban sex change operations for all trans people. He promised to ban the ability for federal employees and teachers to even mention the ability to talk about trans issues and promised to ban gender affirming care. https://youtu.be/WycAmF6LgEA?si=NPHkIv3N-X3xBfXP

              So yeah. That will affect you.

                Sorry, not buying into the project 25 boogie man. Take that down the road.

                Since you seem to be a fan of youtube, here’s a video of him stating his policy on abortion, in addition to other crazy stuff he says. To summarize, he’s leaving up to each state, as I’ve heard him state many times.

                I don’t care what adults do with their hard earned money. Some 26 year old guy wants to get triple F breasts, knock yourself out. As long as they pay with it with their own money. Children should not be subjected to surgical or chemical transition methods. You don’t get to screw with biology and natural evolution with no consequences. Not everything is reversible.

                There are far, far more important issues than “trans issues”. Save that discussion for college.

                So no, it won’t affect me.

        🙄

        What people? The multitudes that comprise the user base of social media? Normal people aren’t thinking that.

        Then why didn’t it happen in 2020? This is getting ridiculous.

      Because trump has promised to be a dictator from day one and has a court that will allow it?

        I’ll tell ya what. In four years, if he deconstructs our form of government, uses the military to silence his opponents, and proclaims himself god king of Merica, I’ll eat my words.

        But we both know nothing even approaching that will happen. He’ll talk shit, use Twitter as he poops, then talk some more shit. Fin.
