I voted for Harris, but I am not losing my shit about Trump, because honestly what he's doing about DEI is justified (it's a racist and antisemitic framework that has made scapegoats of Jews), his decision to deport foreign citizens who are active members in the violent Free Palestine cult is a blessing, his unfreezing of the asinine arms embargo of the Biden administration is legitimate. And all of this is squarely on the heads of the Congressional Progressive Caucus who have backed the Free Palestine cult through 16 months of revolting antisemitism.
And in today's news: Adam Schiff hires Maher Bitar, former executive board member of the Georgetown University's Students for Justice in Palestine, as a foreign policy advisor. You simply can't make this shit up. The only reason I will remain a Democrat is to vote in primaries against progressives. All the money I used to donate to Democratic Party candidates in swing districts I've redirected to the DMFI to be used against antizionist progressives. This party has lost its marbles. I donated and voted _for_ Schiff in these elections, and like Ossoff he can now fuck off when he solicits donations. I'm voting against him in the next CA senatorial primaries and elections.
The people who are currently being rounded up and deported en mass are not the Free Palestine protestors, but rather low-income undocumented Latin Americans who are often exploited, many of them victims of labor trafficking. “DEI rollbacks” include prohibiting transgender people from joining the military, as well as enabling life threatening circumstances (Trump is calling for trans women to be forced into men’s prisons, etc)
I am just as frustrated and disgusted by the Dem’s enabling of Hamas sympathy, but it’s being taken out on the wrong people. Undocumented immigrants and transgender people are being unbelievably scapegoated over the right’s perceived (made up) threats.
DEI commissars absolutely posed a danger to the American democracy, and nobody should support mandatory struggle sessions at work - that's an Orwellian activity that should make most sane people want to wretch.
Trump's been in office for a week, and I'm positive that his threat to deport foreign students and faculty who have engaged in the hate speech, intimidation and violence on campus against Jewish students, will be carried out. And here's the thing - if MIT's Kornbluth did the rational thing, which is to single out those students early for violating the civil rights of Jewish students, and notified the authorities about those illegal activities, we wouldn't need to be waiting on Trump to do this. Instead, she made a point of defending the "free speech right" of non-Americans, guests in this country to break the law and assault Jewish citizens; she's hardly the only 'progressive' university admin to do so. As a result, I can't wait for someone to dish out the long delayed and definitely deserved consequences. Progressives stand with vicious antisemites, and for that reason they have brought electoral defeat after electoral defeat. Watching them wring their hands over their favorite antisemites paying a legitimate price is worth the ticket.
Regarding "trans women being forced into mens prisons", I think you mean "biological men prevented from using their size to assault helpless incarcerated women". There's a very specific reason genders are kept apart in prison, if you need it spelled out: rape and sexual assault. The fact is that it's cruel and unusual punishment to subject women to biological males on the basis of self-reported gender. A dick doesn't go away, nor the aggression associated with having one.
I am absolutely done being counted on to donate, volunteer and vote Democratic Party, while the party courts genocide supporting far-leftists and Muslims, who hilariously are never a reliable Democratic party voting group. If the Democrats want to appeal to sane people, they should back punishing obvious law breaking and terrorism support, rather than appeasing, and carrying out apologetics for them. Fuck the CPC and everyone associated with them.
Again, the people being deported right now are undocumented Latin Americans. What you are saying is not rooted in reality, but rather in fear.
And no, I do not mean "biological men". I have worked in direct services with victims of rape and sexual assault for 4 years, and I can tell you that most DV and SA occurs within intimate partnerships aka someone they already know, NOT from some random stranger. In fact, transgender women and men are at an increased risk of being sexually assaulted and raped. There are studies that showcase this, and many that show there is absolutely no significant difference in perpetration of DVSA compared to cisgender counterparts. I recommend you get your information through peer approved studies rather than social media echo chambers. Here is one you can start with:
Falling down a path of hate towards people who don't deserve it will not solve anything. Your frustration and anger is with the Free Palestine movement, which is completely fair. But we as a people should know better than to scapegoat an entire group over a perceived threat that's completely detached from reality. Although you have stated you vote Democrat, it seems that in your outrage over this past year and a half (which is valid, I feel it too), you've swung to the opposite end of the extreme, perhaps as a safety net. There is a third option, which is to value human life and dignity, no matter if the person identifies with their biological sex or not. It's truly no one's business, and is causing harm to no one.
We can keep digging, but most likely neither of us care to do that - you're invited to chat directly with me if you do. One thing I can't really let go of is you believing that progressive politics is somehow the antithesis of the "path of hate". I have never met more hateful people than progressives and those to their left. They're racist, misogynist, antisemitic, condescending, and deeply hateful - and that goes beyond the Free Palestine cult. If you think "progressives are kind people", you're being self-delusional.
Trans women are men. They absolutely can’t be in women’s prisons. 15% of tnr women’s prison population are biological men. That’s nuts. This has to end.

Meaning, the right has perceived that these groups are dangerous even though they pose absolutely no credible threat to the American people.
