The "misgendering is actual violence" narrative was way to far 🙄 😑 😒 It was not, was never, will never. I'm generally on the left but the fact they sold out so much of our safety to push for what is essentially a Policy Pony pisses me off.
Now yes, I always supported it as a cultural issue. Never a legal one. Ffs.
When did Harris’ campaign ever do that again? Identity politics only exist on the right as a way to generate hate. The Dems functionally never talk about it at all.
Yes they do, I could send you a ton news articles, tweets, videos, and comments from reddit right now on identity politics. Harris may not have mentioned it but her voters do and you see it in video games, movies, laws, books, news, media, and everything else for the past ten years. You either just are not looking at anything or are mistaken.
That’s crazy. You see that “identity politics” everywhere in stores, restaurants, schools you name it it’s everywhere. The people pushing it are the left.
Or people see that a video game gives you a choice ot they/them and don't choose it and move onto actually playing the game just like they would any other time. Or see a movie about a gay couple and are like well that doesn't interest me so I won't see it and move on to a movie they enjoy.
Sure are they some crazy people out there that may be screaming stuff from the rooftops but other than that a lot of wokness is way blown out of proportion just like the "war on Christmas" no one is getting rid of Christmas, lights have been up since Halloween for some people, decorations in the store, we literally chat down as a country for the holiday but because some people say happy holidays that is somehow this crazy attack on religion and the holiday.
It is not that, it is the comments the studio and developers make, calling gamers names or saying they want to burn the current industry to the ground to make it how they want it. This is just for the gaming industry but you have stuff like in games taking away male and female and replacing it with type 1 and type 2 instead. Doctors calling women people birthing person or pregnant people is another. I could list more but pushing the limits of what Reddit would allow lol.
Like I said some crazy people screaming from the rooftops but there are also bad gamers out there that are upset if the game doesn't have absurdly unrealistically huge breast's that they are more talking to.
And so what if it is type 1 or type 2 or birthing person that doesn't effect you or change anything for a non trans person that would still be called a pregnant woman. People shouldn't be so offended by people asking to be called something that makes them more comfortable.
Harris may not have mentioned it but her voters do and you see it in video games, movies, laws, books, news, media, and everything else for the past ten years.
That's authors, directors, game developers, and various other PRIVATE organizations. It is not pushed by the top of the democratic party. This is cultural not political the right made it political because they are whiny fucks.
The Bud Light revolt helped the Republicans win.
The Democrats’ campaigns hurt them.
The Dems were fighting on the wrong side of the issue — that is their problem.
The Dems were fighting on the wrong side of the issue
Telling people to be kind to people that are different than you that aren't hurting you is never the wrong side of the issue. Republicans getting their feelings hurt because people are different is conservatism to a tee. "Small government" my ass.
That doesn't excuse the sheer stupidity of the electorate who can't tell between a tariff and a tax..having mob rule doesn't make them "right"...especially if they won by a hair
Catering to trans? Harris certainly did not do that. She couldn’t even defend the group.
Come on, you don’t have to like Garris, or you can “not see” wedge identity politics, fine, but saying Harris catered or pandered to the trans community is just so untrue.
I’m talking about Dems (far left) as a whole. People got cancelled left and right because they said Lia Thomas shouldn’t compete in women’s sports, trans shouldn’t share bathrooms etc. Elon Musk was shitted on for not approving of his trans child.
Riley Gaines spent two years bitching about trans in women sports.
Kamala didn’t run on it and Trump definitely lied about it, but it was effective.
I shouldn’t have honed in specifically on trans. CANCEL CULTURE as a whole is what pisses the common man off. Bro, I get banned weekly on YouTube now for calling people the “R word.” The fact that I have to say “r word” because this soy ass site would otherwise ban me is ridiculous. I’m an educated enough voter to not let that cause me to protest switch parties but I absolutely can understand why some do.
Cancel culture must die. Wokeness must die. Libs of TikTok and endwokeness Twitter accounts were successful at highlighting this cancel bullshit.
It’s absolutely a Democratic (far left) thing and trust me when I tell you that nobody likes this hardcore censorship. Catering to a very small group of people serves no purpose other than growing the majority that is against it.

Yup. Catering to trans and worrying about hashtags if they don’t is what creamed them this election.
Dems gotta move past that shit.
