Full quote:
In a clip from the interview posted to X by journalist Ken Klippenstein, Watters asked the vice president whether he considers “the militant transgender movement” to be a “domestic terrorist threat.”
“If you are encouraging people to commit acts of violence against the United States government or against your fellow Americans, absolutely. You’re involved in a terrorist movement,” Vance responded.Not that I don’t think violence against trans people is absolutely his intention, thankfully, he didn’t manage to vocalize that specifically to his base, nor is he capable of doing it himself - he’s still very scared of getting sued for hate speech or libel, or for anything hate-related to happen under his direct watch. The quote was basically “If you’re a terrorist, you’re a terrorist!” with numerous wording twists to hope bigots would take further implication.
My point being, keep fighting them for being transphobic, but please don’t reach the level of fear at which you become afraid of daily life.
Surely now democrats will stand up for trans people.
democrats are useless fucks. they are so fucking impotent and complacent it makes me want to puke.
They’d have to stand up for themselves first.
Oh they do that plenty. Against the left.
One of the foundations of capitalism is the strict enforcement of gender binary, and the move from matriarchy to patriarchy (from men needing to enforce monogamy for women, to know who their children are, to ensure passing down and consolidating of wealth)
so yeah trans people, gender non conforming folks, and people practicing non monogamy are a threat to the system, but not in the way theyre proposing
read the origin of the family by F Engles, there’s also a section in transgender warriors by L Leinberg
You think this won’t work with the dolts?
This guy is such a slob and a loser. A lazy-do-nothing. Seriously, if he was not vice president, any reasonable person would tell him to shut up about his petty thoughts and go do something useful. and we have to listen to his BS. Goddamit.
coming from someone that plays a drag-queen in college, and has a beTERt eyeliner than USHA VANCE.
less than 1 percent of shootings where four or more people were wounded in public were by trans people, and that over 97 percent of the mass killings were committed by cisgender men
That’s a useless statistic on its own.
Roughly 1% of the population is trans so they are neither more likely nor less likely. Just like ordinary people (despite being vilified). In fact, if you leave geriatrics out of the calculation, trans folk are less likely to commit these killings.
So the author’s insinuation is correct despite their logic being wrong, however they are not going to convince pearl-clutching conservatives with that article as it stands.
There’s another 1% that should be focused on, and people should be hungry for them.
too early?
I dont think that a significant part of trans people voted for trump because everyone knew, that he would screw them.
Well if you start treating them like terrorists, some might choose that path. It is a very possible self-fulfilling prophecy. Especially when you threaten their lives like that.
That’s most likely the intention behind this. The right would be elated about news of actual trans terrorists.
Yeah, it’s a pretty classic move. Persecute a group of people until inevitably some of them fight back, then point at that to show “see, they’re violent, so we have to crush them out of existence with as much cruelty as possible!”
And they’d still be a republican
Hey, just like the NAZIs.
whelp guess i gotta pull FBI aggro as a harmless cis white dude
i’m the president of anitfa over here
I broke the dam!
I’m also the antifa president
I am Spartacus
JD Vance the type of dude to say “no homo” when his wife finally forces him to wash his bunghole
“The land of the free and the home of the brave” my a$$, dear us citizens
Land of the thief, home of the slave
So butch to be afraid of men who want to be women and women who want to be men.
Ok couch fucker.
I only recently learnt that the couch fucking story is a joke and is not true.
do you have any evidence of that?
A lot of people are saying it though
Many people are saying it. I was at the couch store the other day and they had a sign saying that he wasn’t allowed in. Could be because of that, who knows?!
That’s what Valdimir Futon wants you to think
That’s not how the couch tells it.
