Your post was about a friend who's "transracial" (your term), not trans in the sense that they identify as a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth. Plus, you use the term "trans" to refer to that identity like it's a universally-accepted conclusion and just as accepted as the other use of trans. You also insult those who don't agree with this, call them transphobic, and accuse anyone who disagrees of brigading (with no evidence). While not personally included in either group, my understanding is that this point of view is very controversial and could be considered offensive to people from one, both, or neither community. Again, no opinion on the content, but I believe that's part of why it didn't resonate with people reading it.
TLDR: It's controversial because it's controversial.
No shit. Trump pulled us out of the mutually-beneficial nuclear deal that Iran had been abiding by simply because it was brokered by democrats. Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for security guarantees from us, the UK and Russia... We all see how well that worked out.
Debated not posting this comment just because the subject itself is so icky:
I am so glad that this is the term now. Some freaks argue that CP where a minor isn't straight-up rped is "victimless" (too young, they didn't know they were recorded, etc). The new CSAM term is a line in the sand and makes it clear that any material featuring minors created for that purpose is a product of sexual abuse even if they "consent" to it. Legally, they can't consent and the only way to create the material is to harm innocent children.
Anyway, I'm going to go find brain bleach like videos of a kitten and a giant dog being best friends or something now...
I get what you're saying, but the "four boxes of liberty" are about freedom. People were free to talk about how bad Trump would be, and they did. The 2024 election was free and fair (until we have proof it wasn't). Federal courts have struck down many things the Trump administration has attempted. Liberty isn't inevitable, it has to be fought for. As a country "We the People" failed, not our institutions.
AOC is basically the anti-Trump: it's like she has to be on the correct, moral side of every issue...
