It wasn’t shitty dw. I just think it’s important to use precise language when the action is targeted at a precise group of people. It is a reality that Peter Theil is a leading right winger and Trump nominated a gay man for treasurery secretary, things have changed from the Obama era where that would have been unthinkable.
Excellent points. Though, I feel like they’re all somewhat token hires to show the world that he’s not a “bad dude”. In reality, we all know better. But you are very right. They are 100% after the trans groups. His base sees everyone as one issue where the party is focused.
Donald Trump specifically has a long history with being friends with gay men, his mentor Roy Cohn was a closeted gay man (althought it was a very open secret) who died of Aids all the time denying he was gay, there was a movie released in 2024 called The Apprentice the delves into this. There is also other media made about Cohn like the play Angels in America.
I was being obtuse with purpose. Most of us are pretty clued into their targets but his base blankets all of us. Sorry if that came off as shitty.
