“We’re looking at the entire spider web”

The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me.

    Well, I’ll say this: if they didn’t believe it, they were pretty good at faking it.

    I think they really did believe it, and I think that’s because the “anti-trans Harris” sentiment was deliberately promoted as much as possible. And I think it helped elect trump.

    Something no one who espoused that particular talking point wanted to hear.

    And “here” we are.

    EDIT: Let me add, when people go off on “Democrats lost the election by running a terrible candidate, don’t blame the voters” I think about this particular part. She wasn’t terrible. The voters fucked up.
