Full disclosure: I’m an independent.

The American right is saying “wait a minute, this is nuts” in response to gender lunacy. The American left seems to think embracing every TQ+ issue is the best bet. So they’re doubling down on crazy. “Birthing people! Men can have periods! Let a grown man beat the shit out of a woman in UFC! It’s totally cool that a registered sex offender can whip out his dick in front of your 8-year-old daughter! Let’s medically experiment on kids! 100 genders! Call my tree instead of he! Lesbians and straight men love dick!” Most people seeing this think it’s insane and aren’t on board. They’re going to look elsewhere if the left keeps this up. (For example, both of my parents have never voted Republican and they are starting to get really sick of the Democrats for this.)

It's kind of crazy how in the last few years just how many life-time Dem voters are ditching the party because of this insanity. I am not looking forward to the pendulum swinging hard right, which seems inevitable.

Yeah. It’s wild to me that the party that was actually saying “god made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve” when I was teenager is the one living in reality now. You’re right though. It’s only a matter of time before this snaps back and popular opinion turns against LGB people.

There are some popular conservative gay people though. Just thinking of Ric Grenell, Andy Ngo, Tammy Bruce, Scott Presler, Brandon Straka, haha formerly Milo! I think a large % of American Republicans are far more accepting of gay people when they share the same feelings on big issues (immigration, the homeless crisis, gun rights, etc.) There will always be hardcore Christian Right who will NEVER accept gay people, but I think the Right these days are far more concerned with immigration, foreign wars, the economy, Woke garbage in the schools, freedom from govt mandates, etc.

And when I say gay people, I mean LGB. It's the TQ+ that will fuel renewed hatred of LGB by attaching like a barnacle and misleading people that they're part of one monolithic group.

There are plenty of people who voted against gay marriage, who still eagerly tune in when Andy Ngo is there to talk about Antifa, and not give Andy's orientation a second thought, but if the media and formerly gay organizations want people to believe Andy Ngo and "Rachel" Levine represent the same group, then the tide turns back.

And for the record, I think the Republicans will take up the TWAW motto soon enough themselves. I don't have great hope for them saying no to the Gender Woo for much longer.
