That's probably exactly what the other "side" is thinking.
For example:
They think that allowing people with penises to to change in women's locker rooms just because they identify as women is wicked, so they aren't being silent about it.
> the locker room situation with Thomas, who although she has transitioned to being female hormonally and identified as a woman, still has male body parts

The pendulum eventually swings to the other side.
(I'm somewhere in the middle with I suspect a majority of people - it's the extremists that are the loudest.)
- neogodless 1y agoSo both-sides then? Look I think we should disagree on fiscal and social policy, and be able to deliberate over these issues. And have a system of government that allows for that kind of debate and representative vote. But "one side" is dismantling everything that was still democratic about the United States and turning into a massively one-sided (even one-manned) system of control. So whatever your opinion or mine on social policy no longer matter, because it's all up to the whims of a single person, with no recourse for the rest of us.

- Geezus_42 1y agoIs it the democratic process failing, or it being destroyed by monied interests?
- mcphage 1y ago> The democratic process is failing the majority of people so the people are replacing it I see. And what is it that you are replacing it with?
- fleek 1y agoA strongman. A Caesar. Someone to champion the cultural values and identity we believe in. You don't have to like it, agree with it or understand it for it to happen. Honestly I am trolling a little bit(maybe a lot) but this is literally how people think and no amount of discussion is going to change their minds. They want outcome A, you want outcome B, and there are very little (perhaps 0) shared values to build a cohesive foundation on which to compromise.
- mcphage 1y ago> You don't have to like it, agree with it or understand it for it to happen. Sure but the problem is: he's going to fail the majority as well, which means they're going to step in and replace him next.
- Volundr 1y ago> which means they're going to step in and replace him next. Or discover they can't. The thing about strongmen dictators is they aren't that easy to just replace.
- pas 1y agocultural values you say? like rape, corruption, extreme pettiness and selfishness? these people are in a cult. their sunk cost bias is overwhelming most of their sanity. and of course the world is not going in the way they wish, so their conflict resolution is to write a blank check to said strongman. (and project everything on him.)

- sanktanglia 1y agoOh yes the country is going to shit but let's focus on fairness in sports that's really what matters
- apercu 1y agoYea, there's like 10 Trans NCAA athletes out of 10,000 so let's stop everything and focus on that. Why aren't we laughing all day at the right because they're a bunch of fucking clowns? (I identify as an independent).
