Post Presidential opinions regarding LGBT rights in the future

Don't take your eyes off the states passing bills like this...although they surely know that courts will knock some of these measures down, there is a cumulative effect, including hardening public opinion against the LGBTQ citizens of their states. This is a national disease of hatred and intolerance.

^^ This is a test case that lays the groundwork for other states and to see how far they can get. Laws to suppress and control people they hate. How is this any different from the cumulative effect of the 1935 Nuremberg Laws hardening public opinion against Jews? It's just another step in normalizing marginalization of "the other" which builds the pathway down the line that leads to acceptance of extermination camps. Plant and feed the belief that suppressing them and just getting rid of them is acceptable.

Just like DeSantis and Abbott putting migrants on buses to other cities lead to normalizing, in the MAGA mind, relocating migrants to the concentration camps we have now. I said this when it was happening.

Do people still not see where this pattern leads? Apparently not.

You should be asking yourself, "What are they distracting us from?".

The Republicans love to put stuff like this on the docket when they're busy picking our pockets and rewarding their big dollar donors.

P.S. Hopefully they banned the ugly one with all the non-rainbow colors.

Are you saying you do not believe this is a pattern....or what?

It's a game with them. They're the same snowflakes that whine all the time about "free speech" and how the left is trying to cancel them.

Some rich right-wing donor gives them money to buy a favor. To hide the favor, they have one of their right wing "think tanks" put together some ridiculous bill. They put the bill on the floor. The left wing organizations flood their mailing lists with fundraising emails. The left-wing organizations file a lawsuit and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on getting the legislation declared unlawful.

Meanwhile, the bill that the rich right-wing donor wants gets passed. No one is paying attention.

Millions of donations get spent on pursuing lawsuits that could have been spent finding Democratic candidates or running opposition ads to the idiots who for decades were crying about "free speech".

This is Charlie Brown and the football. At some point, the left needs to stop playing defense and get on offense.

The problem is that the Dems LOVE these bills because they also fundraise off them and use them to motivate their voters to come out.

And they are part of the problem and it's why they are always playing defense, wasting millions on performative legislation.

The path Trump and republicans are on, are the same patterns as Germany in the 1930s. They're doing the same things, following the same pattern. They are building the concentration camps now. If it isn't stopped, it will end the same way in extermination camps. Despite some of the bumps, the trajectory so far has been unchanged for years.

I give up trying to warn about it. Everyone is in denial and changes the subject. This is how it happened in Germany.

I will never try to warn about this again.
