    Not really, like their supposed protection of black people their protection of trans people is contingent on how the minority behaves.

    That’s not support, that’s blackmail.

        No, behaves. Liberal darling Tim walz called the national guard on the Floyd protests long before any semblance of violence happened.

        If any minority protests a Democrat, they go back to their kkk roots faster than you can say southern strategy.

          What the governor called out the National Guard to protect bystanders and property? In case things went south fast?

          Fascists, obviously. Well now I’m glad we lost. Whoever won will surely be much better for that.

          Speaking of - since they lost, why the long face? Shouldn’t we be celebrating? Hooray the sucky Democrats lost! They’re the worst! Down with the Democrats! Yaaaayyyy
