    I’m not a US person, but I would like to know what exactly is so bad about the trump man.

    Besides looking funi and not being all that cool, did his win last time influence trans people that much?

    Or is he just really pushing the anti-trans agenda harder this time?

    Maybe I missed a twitter post or something, I’m just confused about why people are only now thinking of moving out.

      Take a look at the Wikipedia page for Project 2025. It’s basically the Republican manifesto for everything they want to to “acomplish” now they have power. This time, Trump has the House, the Senate and the supreme court on his side so there’s nothing that can stop these plans.

          Key points include classifying “transgender ideology” as pornography, banning porn and making it a sex offense, introducing the death penalty for sex offenders. All those together…

            Ok WOAH this is scary! This reads like a dictatorship and strong influence of the people leading the country.

            Also Eliminating woke propaganda at every level of government. sounds like such a shitpost, but they seem to mean it.

            Removing critical race theory and gender ideology curricula in every public school in the country. Ok oof. They really mean it.

              Using the word “woke” in official political messaging really has thrown me for a loop this election cycle.

              And yeah. This shit is scary. Trump tries to downplay how linked he is to this, but its a facade and a bad one at that.
