it was a tough choice for those on the left, not liking trump but knowing Biden would go full sjw with gender ideology.

I have to call bullshit on that; they knew EXACTLY how Biden was going to go; Biden and co. were pushing the Equality Act throughout the campaign yet people on the left who are wary about the gender ideology nonsense still chose Biden. People thought the circus would end once Trump was gone; all it did was get worse and more expensive to boot.

2017-2021 is a real study in mass psychology and the power of media. Millions and millions of people were convinced by a relentless onslaught of mostly bullshit news that one man who literally just showed up in DC was responsible for EVERY single problem and that by putting people who had been there for decades back into power, all would be well. And people bought it hook, line and sinker.

That pretty much sums up trump derangement syndrome. anything at all as lomg as he was gone. I replied to someone's comment here awhile back, they were afraid of losing abortion rights under Trump, which I understood. I felt the loss of sex based rights would be far worse, so i asked them about it. They said abortion would be a big loss to reverse, but the gender stuff they could somehow convince democrats that they were wrong about all the gender ideology. It seemed naive to me, because I could see the whole party went full on SJW/woke ideology. Now they call that trans woman first FEMALE admiral, and none of the women in leadership seemed to have a problem with it.

Here's is the thing: Democrats have been exploiting this fear for years, and it's old now.

They don't care about women getting unsafe abortions.

They just care about staying in power.

This is something that I wished more people realised. The Democrats don't actually give a shit about any of the causes they claim to champion. They don't really believe in gay rights, immigration, BLM, trans people, or the poor, they just want you to vote for them. Same for the Republicans. The people in power care about one thing and one thing only, and that thing is wealth and power.
