        Probably, and hopefully. But still, this is the government of the United States who is rage-baiting, not a 12-year-old asshole.

        But I’m sure Abū Alī al-Husain ibn Abd Allāh ibn Sīnā knows this. Good name 💖

      I am mostly worried about the deployment of modern communication means for fascist propaganda. The use of generated image and videos, the ownership of social media platforms, the use of the meme culture, I don’t know. I think these tactics successfully resonate with the MAGA voter base. This is whose opinions count to them. They don’t give a shit if we find it ridiculous, because they have other plans for us. To dominate, or even annihilate us, with their cheerful consensus. See my other response.

      By their own definition, the existence of trans people is pornographic. So they deliberately posted porn, but blame the Biden administration for bringing it to the White House. See my other response.

    I see many of you claim this is just deflecting, but it is a christian nationalist dogwhistle.

    Just to keep the record gay. The Right has set off to equate transgender people with pornographers, and at the same time wants to exclude pro-trans discourse from the First Amendment, together with all pornography. The WHiTe-supremacist house responds to the criticism that they do not respect the historical building. They respond by saying that liberal fave Joe Biden desecrated the building first, by bringing a “trans stripper” in it. T

    his is a what-aboutist dogwhistle addressed to the christian nationalists in his base. The semantics proposed by the article, and many others, like the Scottish trans topless protesters recently is immaterial. If you don’t get it you are simply out of the loop.

    Defining gender based on genitals at birth was just a ruse to install fascism. As someone commented recently, it is like someone asking for the time, then proceeding to steal your watch. Then you go on Mastodon and be sarcastic about his fainted interest in the time of day. And feel intelligent. He still has your watch, and you are still falling for it.
