Trump has peaked

Surely the gender nutters have to reverse ferret now? Surely?

I suspect immediate results on that. I am sure I have already posted too late!!

Absolutely nail on the head there!

Exactly

I agree with Trump except with him calling ‘sex’ gender ( he meant sex) and him saying ‘assigned’ at birth.

Agreeing with Trump will be weaponised as the saying goes.

He’ll get some left wing votes because of this. If polls show a large number it might make Labour think a little harder about how to protect children and women from the insidious ideology.

What on earth are you on about? I'm a radical feminist.

I misunderstood your post but is pretty clear what I was 'on about'.

It is isn't it. He's all about the percentage points. This will be the top issue in his polling surveys and elsewhere for him to make such a this stops now speech

The vast majority of people are appalled at what's happening to children. It's just that he's woken up before many other politicians and he's connected all the dots.

He's absolutely the right person to instantly spot how to get rich on the back of the vulnerable or easily lead and he's just told everyone who's doing it. Pharmaceutical companies, surgeons. And he's told ordinary people that they can sue them.

He knows which way the wind is blowing, and will milk it for all he's worth.

It will be interesting to see how many other politicians grasp it now.

Yes, Trump jumping on the most sparkly 'new' band wagon.
Still, it's an ill wind that blows no good.

The Democrats have only themselves to blame for offering Trump such an obvious and easy open goal.

They will double down rather than reverse ferret. “It must be good if Trump is against it.”

They are quite capable of losing to him again, if he lives long enough.

Wow
"This madness will end"

I am glad men won't be able to compete in women's sports.
Personally I agree with him but is it too extreme? Will people think " I can't be on the same side as trump"

Sturgeon was lampooned because she said that people who disagreed with her were transphobes, homophobes and racists. She attacked people instead of engaging in sensible discussion.
We need to do the reverse: Trump is not everyone's cup of tea (understatement!) but does that automatically make him wrong on this subject? Engage with the debate, not the debater. An ad hominem attack is a poor argument.

Trump really hasn't changed his view on this, it seems the same as it was before.

There is a reason he's resonated with so many people, why in the second term he even increased his votes from black and Hispanic voters.he is generally pretty good at putting his finger on what "regular" people are thinking and messaging in that direction - he may have now undone that with the stuff that happened after the election, but up until then his messaging was effective. And Biden has totally fucked any chance he had of convincing those same people that he is a moderate middle ground guy.

Biden needs to convince people he's not radio controlled.

But he is, isn't he?

He’s just hoovering up a rival’s policy.

This time it’s a primary rival, Ron DeSantis, but he’s done the same thing with Bernie Sanders in the past.

He’s keen on snagging the sorts of people we sometimes call Blue Labour, the red wall -type voters.

Yep, he's not going after the die-hard democrats, he's going after the floating voters in the middle. And they might just be convinced by it too when they start publicising what's happening in schools (amongst other places).
The main problem with DT doing this is a lot of people are "orange man bad" and will automatically say whatever the opposite opinion is. It'll definitely bring sunlight though.

I think Trump is repugnant and no friend to women. But pushing back gender politics and punishing those complicit in the brainwashing and mutilation of children and the erosion of women's rights is going to be a formidable task. It's never going to happen if we wait for nice people with all the right beliefs to do it, we need powerful people. Even if it means holding our noses for a while.

I would imagine a lot of registered Republican voters will recognise this as stolen from Ron, who seems to be a very big threat to Trump (presumably why Trump has copy pasted almost directly!)

I don’t think Trump will get the GOP nomination this time around, but I would imagine a lot of normies, both in the US and beyond (including here) are currently unaware that schools transition kids without parental permission? They’ve likely noticed the sports thing, maybe the prisons, but they likely won’t know that some ‘trans kids’ are hidden from their parents.

Orange man good . Hes going for the full hit including the teachers. 😊👍

Exactly. There will be a lot of stuff that people, especially parents who he is specifically targeting, who simply don't know about any of it and this is absolutely going to force the issue.

What do you mean 14-year-olds are getting double mastectomies, citation please?

Sure

Here’s DeSantis from 3 months ago:

He’s got 3 preschool/infant school age kids himself and I think he really does understand what’s going on with kids right now, it’s not 75% autocue as it is with Trump.

His language makes me wince a bit but that’s probably because I’m an oldschool sandal weaving lefty who is still coming to terms with losing Labour to IDPOL and still can’t quite cope with people who say ‘Blame Marxism’ - even though I know that if you dig all the way through Queer theory to it’s roots, that’s the germinating seed.

(I suppose my wincing is a bit like when new posters turn up here and tell us off for calling transwomen men. They know we aren’t wrong but it still feels shocking and takes them some time to recalibrate)

The gender stuff starts from about 7:50 on the DeSantis clip, btw - he starts with sports.

Thanks for that, Nicola, i'm only halfway through but it's really interesting. Next to Trump, he sounds a lot more rational, but I know what you mean - (reading between his lines).

But on the other hand, he's not as (faux) outraged as Trump.

He hasn't gone for the jugular.

I guess that will count in his favour with some and not with others.

Interesting though, that it's become a real political issue.

Wow, talk about not f#£_ing around.

If he gets in (a strong possibility I'm told), then this could be huge. It came from America, it ends in America?

I do wonder whether it's too strong and will get a kickback - but obviously I can't disagree with.aby of what he's said . He needs to get all kiddies off social media though as it's coming from there more so than in the schools.

Is this how you stop a social contagion? Prohibition?

Having seen all this Scottish Prison stuff I think I'd like critical thinking being taught in schools too.

This.
