It’s not all just blind, raging hate. We need to be identifying and looking at the things that fed into this election’s outcome on Tuesday.
I'm guilty of rolling my eyes at people complaining about migrant debit cards; they have a valid argument. According to exit polling, sending migrants to blue cities was a shrewd GOP strategy.
I'm living in a blue bubble, and am listening to podcasts to understand what happened in this election:
Host Weiss: “One of the stickiest issues of this election - strangely, just given so many other things to most Americans - was the issue of biological men in girls sports, & the fundamental unfairness of that.”
Brianna: “A lot of my friends have children and when you have to fill out a box with your kindergartner’s preferred pronoun…& when there’s a Coming Out Day in elementary school….”
Trump spent $30M in anti-trans ads, and they landed.
I understand their concerns. When I expressed my own worries about post-pubescent trans females playing in competitive women's sports, I was subjected to the Left's knee-jerk reaction to shut down the conversation by being labeled a transphobe. Worrying about women being raped in prison by trans females is not being transphobic. We need to have these difficult conversations.
