Gilberto Hinojosa, the longtime chairman of the Texas Democratic Party, apologized for saying immigration and transgender rights hurt Democrats at the polls.
The reason people “don’t support it” is because these fucks haven’t given them a reason why supporting it is okay. On so many issues the Democrats simply refuse to do anything to counter the right wing framing.
If all you have to say when the right screams about “boys in girls sports” or “trans surgeries for prisoners” is that you don’t support that, then of fucking course the public isn’t going to move towards supporting trans people. The right is telling them that a boy can just one day on a whim say “I think I’m a girl actually” and immediately the doctors will chop off their penis and give them estrogen injections so they can play on the girls team.
