I am in awe how your view of transpeople is shaped by US transpeople you only know from tv, not from the (nice) transpeople you met - but you also appear to be pretty dense so actually this checks out.

I could say the same for you but I won't. What so dense about it . Having a conservative opinion has got nothing to do with intelligence.
You could say the same for the left, I don't think they are stupid.

There are extremes on both ends which might check out to be brainwashed of course. I am not going to say ohhhh " Let's murder and kill all of them because they they are LGBTQ "
I don't practice fundamentalist Islamic ideology.

Of course the view is shaped by the US. I mean are you a US citizen, do you know anything about how our current world works ? I guess not.

The world after the fall of the Soviet Bloc for the good past 30 years or so at large is shaped by the United States of America.
And even before that the world not under the Soviet Bloc is somewhat shaped by the United States.

As the Anchor Economy and the strongest military power in the world. America's influence stretches far and wide and can shape how other counties work (Allies and Friends). It is what it is.

Google is America
All your Chatgp, Grok etc etc is America
America's Media " used to be respectable " Reuters, Economist, AP, WSJ, etc etc
Netflix, Disney, Movies, Music etc etc

You name it you get it. America's influence is everywhere, whether you (We) like it or not. Therefore whatever that comes out of America affects and effects the world at large.
Even the Great Firewall of China cannot prevent it.

The only outstanding country that can be somewhat immune to America's influence is perhaps North Korea.
Which is why, America's foreign and at times domestic policies is extremely important.
You are not just America, your polices can change the world and at times be extremely destructive (In Cultural Terms)to others. We already know how destructive your foreign polices can be, nevertheless Culture plays a huge part with countries that are not at loggerheads with you.

So very simple, if you don't want others to have a say in how you shape your domestic policies ( In this case the woke ideology). You might just want to take a back seat and stop acting like a hegemon on a global scale (But you can't stop doing that ).
And bear in mind that such a ludicrous movements happened and sad to say under the premiership of the Democrats.

Maybe read the comment I replied to




I sincerely wonder if you can understand how badly Democrats fucked up and that this is the reason an outlier like Trump won the elections, twice

Push bad candidates solely based on gender and skin color, insert surprised pikachu face when you lose then call the majority of Americans cultists and fascists

SMH

I did

Yeah, this sort of also defends Joe's actions. I never honestly found his interactions so jaring like some posters on here. Perhaps because I have lived ultra rural my entire life except university years, and old people in general are affectionate to kids and its not strange or unusual despite being a stranger just because towns are so small.

And they all have their differences, i could give an easy First Nations one, its pretty common for an old person to smell a kids neck and say "what u eat for dinner" "I smell your bannock".

Does that sound sort odd, probably to anyone in a city. Old geezers half out of their mind are just most of the time affectionate, its not some predatory shit.

I've never found Joe's shit that odd. Is it odd place infront of the world, perhaps but that probably only further signals hes just some old bastard who shows affection and not some weird sexual affection so many people wish it was...

So Trump is now part of the swamp ?

Major real-estate investor, billionaire, born with a silver spoon in mouth, I would find it hard to believe anyone with those credentials has not waded around the swamp their entire life.

Once again I’m not saying in today’s age it’s entirely appropriate I’m just saying there are A LOT of non-predatory people who say things similar.

Yeah I know, that's what I am saying as well for Biden.

Now are there other characteristics to Trump that would suggest that he is probably the type of guy to engage in some activities that we would see as abhorrent, yes lets be real here.

He does come across as a pretty disingenuous guy, and I don't think it would shock anyone if he dipped his ink into the 15-17 year old pool. Super young, no, I don't think so but abhorrent none the less.

This person I'm quoting here doesn't understand American politics. Trump is the most skilled media manipulater in politics right now. Has nothing to do with skin/gender or democrat policies. Americans don't even understand Trump's platform, they vote based on influencers and the media, which Trump dominates

You can pretty much ignore his policies and what he says, because they're irrelevant, he doesn't keep his word. He will simply do whatever someone pays him to do. Epstein files won't release because people are paying him. Once you understand he's working for money first, everything he does makes more sense.

He doesn't care about you. He wants more money and power



That isn't a defense at all. This just sounds like you're struggling to accept reality

Nobody here knows what Trump does in his personal life. You seem to accept that on the surface he appears to be doing inappropriate things. It's odd and suspicious that you are trying to justify his behavior without knowing what he is actually doing
