    “I don’t want to get into the details.”

    Real “You guys weren’t going to fact check” energy.

    Once again, Trump is making political satirists’ job more difficult.

    Would it be so terrible if your kid came home a different gender? Would they still be your kid? Would you still love them? There are worse things - like your kid coming home full of holes made by an AR-15.

    This only got overshadowed by his “they’re eating the cats and dogs“ quote. Aside from that, this may be one of the most insane things he’s said.

      More insane than thinking Canada has a giant faucet that takes all the melt water from the polar ice cap and dumps it in the Pacific, instead of letting it run “down” to California?

      Edit. Pluralised ice cap. I don’t think even Trump is stupid enough to think the south pole’s run off ends up in Canada.

    It really and truly is absolutely terrible that a person that crazy has a real shot at becoming president of the most powerful nation on the planet.

      It is also a shame that the mainstream news keeps igoring all this batshit crazy talk along with the inciting violence and does fluff pieces where they explain what they think he means.

      This stuff should be front page news every day. Put up the stuff Harris and Walz say too so there is a contrast with people who aren’t crazy fascists.

    I did leave for school and they taught me the tools necessary to understand my gender properly. And yeah those tools aren’t reading, writing, or arithmetic, it was calculus actually.

    It’s the country of Lalalandburg and it’s located in the remote recesses of the back of a senile, irrelevant, and terrified old man’s head.

    What if the actual reason for an increasing number of LGBTQ people (besides society finally starting to treat them with some degree of basic acceptance that everyone deserves- still a long way to go, but it seems better than the past) was an ever increasing amount of estrogen antagonizing plastic pollution in our habitat? Would DJT favor more regulation of the plastics and chemical industries?

    My guess is not. He mostly just wants to use some fictional boogeyman to further destroy our schools (very real measureable decline since he took office that people want to blame on covid rather than his appointee Betsy DeVos).

      And acceptance leads to openness… imagine the MASSIVE amount of closeted gays in Trump’s Generation.

      Today we are more accepting than even in the grayish 80s, now that not even AIDS is connected with it.

      A kid growing up now could turn out gay or trans way earlier in life than “usual” because they are born that way. Similar to better Diagnostics leading to more cases of Autism.

    This is the biggest “fuck you” to teachers…

    If Trump spent 1 day in a fucking public school I feel his tune would change.

      No. Nothing can change his tune: reality has no impact on his tune, being wrong, being absurd, being called out, nothing. Actually not changing his tune is basically his core messaging strategy. That piece of shit…

      I don’t have to imagine. In Spain the right wing party was 24/7 spring lies about “children being punished in Catalonia for speaking in Spanish”. One of those assholes was interviewed in front of a public school where kings were playing and he said the same thing. And when the guy making the interview asked him “in which language are these kids speaking? Aren’t they speaking Spanish?” instead of saying something a working brain would say, he doubled down.

    Either it takes such an effort to get menstrual products into schools that it gets you a fun nickname, or we’re doing reassignment surgery during health class.

    Pick a lane lol
