ATLANTA (AP) — After losing the White House and both houses of Congress, Democrats are grappling with how to handle transgender politics and policy following a campaign that featured withering and often misleading GOP attacks on the issue.
There is plenty of second-guessing after President-elect Donald Trump anchored his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris with sweeping promises on the economy and immigration. But Democrats also will not soon forget the punchline in anti-transgender Trump ads that became ubiquitous by Election Day: “Kamala is for they/them; President Trump is for you.”

Oh my, the radical democrats doubled down on transies and lost bigly, especially with black and hispanic male voters.

Stopped. Reading. There.

That this has all been transgender politics is the bottom line.
Nothing more than another hammer with which to smash civilization into pieces.

I’ve got some Dems arguing with me that this stuff is OK, and really they aren’t doing grooming for it in the schools. And this someone in California, where they passed a law to hide it from the parents.

I have to figure some way to make democrats double down on their losing strategy so they can lose some more.
I encourage the democrat party to run a man for president wearing a dress. I support their doing that.

They have learned nothing from 11-05-24. They lied constantly to prop up Harris and lost badly. Now the Dinosaur media is doubling down on their lying.

They/them had a double meaning. It wasn’t an attack on LGBTQ per se, it was an attack on those elites who think they are in some way superior to other people. Morally, ethically, financially, educationally, politically connected etc. Those are the They/Thems those ads were really referring to.

Hilarious. They can't let go of their brand-new (in the big scheme of things) orthodoxy, no matter how absurd it is on its face. They can't admit fault. So now they're stuck.
It's not that hard, lefties- an individual with a Y chromosome and big ol' hairy dick and balls swinging between his legs isn't a woman. But you can no longer admit that. So now you're scrambling to figure out how to package a message as absurd as "2+2=5", refusing to believe the issue is with your content, and not merely your communication techniques.
Enjoy losing, Leftist ***holes. You deserve it.

The Democratic Party is all Gay, all of the time.
Godless Reprobate goats 🐐🐐🐐 in action following a false prophet, Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama. Satan is using Obama to take people to the eternal Lake of Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
And Obama is happy to do his real father's (John 8:44) work.
What Democrat Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama and friends shamelessly promote
Rainbow White House happened on June 26, 2015
There is a determined effort to normalize this all over the world. I'm encouraging people not to attend nor support this stuff.
NO VIOLENCE suggested nor implied, of course. Do NO harm, Christians.
The Days of Lot are upon us.
Just as prophesied in the New Testament by Jesus Christ Himself:
