Prigs really aren't that big of a deal. Like literally who cares what they are up to?

They lost the Dems the election. “She’s for them” was by far trumps most successful ad according to polling

Maybe the people who voted for Trump genuinely don't like trans people and the prigs have nothing to do with it.

I mean its really fucked up to vote for someone who will dehumanize and villainize a population NOT because you dislike that population but just because SOME OTHER people are speaking about it vehemently. Is this what you are suggesting happened?

Yes that is what I’m suggesting. Don’t ask don’t tell type policy would be acceptable to many voters where current dem policy is not. Fucked up but the voters were heard
