    Well I hope you’re mad about how DOGE has done nothing on the fraud/waste/abuse front, because so far it’s just been all show no substance. In fact they just kept on spending more. Also what about the fraud that Elon has been committing? Any qualms there?

    > after the election I've seen at least 3 people in my community start wearing mens clothing again I've heard from multiple trans friends that they are afraid the Trump government will come for them and lock them up for being trans due to actions being taken in state legislatures right now [1] and that for these reasons they are or are considering going completely closeted for their own safety. I don't think it counts as a "fad ending" when you have chilling effects [2] like this coming from the government. 1. https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/texas-bill-identify-transgender-state-felony-rcna195642 https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/texa... 2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect

    > We treat criminals like children and society falls. We treat them like criminals and society survives. Thoughts on Trump not being sentenced as an equal to a normal citizen despite being lawfully convicted?

    I’ll accept the idea that a person might believe that trans/cross dressing is a fad, but your argument is that it’s a fad that explicitly follows the possession of the White House? That Biden was a gender-bending taste-maker and there’s a large group of people who went “Wow, now that Trump is in office, I see how cool gender-normativity is.”

    > I've seen at least 3 people in my community [no longer feeling safe to express themselves and engage in harmless acts of personal freedom due to the implied coercive threat of a police state] it's like the sociopathic cherry to top off your other favorite things like child labor, child starvation, bathroom genital inspectors for your wife and daughter, and mass layoffs of black people and veterans.

    > Trans people out of women's sports I can't believe you actually looked at the man who promised to pardon all the people who tried to hang his own VP for not subverting the election, and decided that 'the competitive integrity of amateur sports' was literally your #2 voting issue. Literally surreal.
