It's like watching Germany 100 years ago, same patterns repeated.

I've supported the Democratic party for decades but if they cannot support us now, I will never help them again. Supporting the Trans and LGBTQ communities has been one of the only major ways for some time to tell the difference between the two parties and if Dems are writing us off, we're better served spending our meagre resources attempting to negotiate our genocide and erasure with Republicans because while they hate us, unlike Dems, the GOPMAGAs know how to win elections and Dems have abandoned the idea.

Though much of the recent rhetoric about us from Dems is pretty god-damned hateful, at least, from the Dems who haven't forgotten since November that we exist.

They couldn't even muster the votes to hold an open vote on the NDAA anti-Trans language! A vote the Republicans would have probably lost! They surrended in advance like Vichy French on the Morroccan beaches during Operation Torch! Threw their hands up in anticipatory obedience, except this time, fascism WON.
