The right side of any issue is the one that doesn’t have Matt Walsh and the proud boys on it. Such a twisted and cruel campaign that they’re on.

Ah .. Matt Walsh my favorite internet troll

https://net-streams.typepad.com/view_from_a_dystopian_fut/

Matt's new streaming service is dailywire +

If someone told you do a search for daily wire plus, you might type dailywireplus com or maybe dailywire-plus com , oh wait can't be that last one I own that domain, sometimes you have to really think out of the box when dealing with these people, , look what someone in Texas did https://myfox8.com/news/politics/worlds-greatest-author-buys-governorabbott-com-to-lambast-texas-gov-over-trans-care-directive/ , I haven't figured out what to do with dailywire-plus Matt become a much smaller fish is a bigger Toxic Pond

He is an absolute ghoul. The worst of the worst of these Nazi grifters. It makes me sick when he pretends to care about kids. And as lousy and unappealing of a propagandist as he is, he has so much billionaire money behind him that it’s impossible for his media brand to fail.

Of course if the amendment is left in and it goes to court even a conservative court would see it violates interstate commerce , and I suppose you could get a judge like Aileen Cannon but she’s a rare one

All these laws are pretty flagrant violations of the constitution but how long before they are stayed or struck down, and how many will be upheld by conservative courts or ruled constitutional by the USSC. People will die in the mean time.

I live in Michigan a state that is becoming nicer since we kicked republicans off the majority but I have posted some suggestions , some of them that I've used in other context (fighting a forced guardianship) and they work, if people want to wait for the courts that's up to them . no one is suggesting violent protests or harassment actually that makes things worse you want the public behind you. That said the sponsors of these bills are public and usually these sponsors have businesses of some kind , as I talk about in "Walk like a Republican" there is usually a common thread. I'll explain it using a hypothetical insurance company for some reason these politicians seem to be in real-estate of some kind .

1) less than 20% of the customers know that the person they are dealing with is a politician

2) more than 60% don't know anything about the abusive bill the person authored and some of them would not do business with people like that and like I said if executed effectively transparency campaigns using emails , targeted forum posts, review sites and digital and cable ads do work, .

one other suggestion , we should start using the sincerely help religious belief argument against them, a surprising number of transgender people grow up in Christian homes, my faith was a big part of my early transition and my very first therapist a Baptist minister / social worker, many many transgender people have similar stories. And at Christmas time for the first their lives Texans were afraid to attend midnight mass for the first time in their lives because they were afraid of being turned in for having transgender children that is against their first amendment rights

This is so sad because parents of trans kids are doing the opposite of child abuse
