Trump re trans issues / Tate brothers

I have read many threads both before and after the US election where posters are so pleased that Trump does not support the trans agenda. Some also saying that this was the most important issue which would and did influence their vote in the UK election.
Do you still feel the same now? Trump has shown his contempt for women throughout his life and career. Now he has bullied Romania into lifting the travel ban on the Tates and flown them into Florida ready to abuse more women and radicalise a new generation of misogynists and rapists.
Any buyer’s remorse?

I don't think most Trump voters cared about misogyny, but I do think the Democrat stance reduced their credibility.

"OK Trump seems to have this crazy RFK Jr guy and lies all the time, but the Democrats lied about Biden being senile and have those mad ideas about sex. You can't really trust anyone - It's six of one and half a dozen of the other, I'll give Trump a chance".

I agree.

I doubt those who voted for Trump have misogyny high in their priority list.

You asked for a quick précis? I felt a whole other thread would be better, but no, instead I'm drawn into this. I gave a quick overview of what I thought but it turns out you actually did want a thesis. 🙄

Not at all, your answer was very useful. Thanks.

And Mars, apologies, I wasn't criticising your answer. I was just noting that it rests mostly on ad hom points.

In my view, this insistence on focusing on moral purity and ad homs - which seems very widespread, I'm certainly not directing this at you personally - is a huge problem. Not just on the left, either.

A shift to focus on policy would be more realistic, pragmatic, and productive, imo.

We could use politics being less emotive and sentimental, overall.

It should be an advantage to occupy the moral high ground but it is electoral suicide to use it to look down on the people that you want to vote for you.
