How many conservatives celebrated Nancy Pelosi’s husband getting beaten? I remember Donald Trump Jr. said that a Halloween costume would be funny.

Yes, that’s basically the one notable example. Now the challenge becomes whether you can name two more without looking anything up.

Because I can name January 6 (capitol police officers lost their lives, Trump rioters intended to harm Nancy Pelosi specifically), Nancy Pelosi’s Husband as mentioned above, Charlottesville (counter-protestor run over by a car intentionally), the two Democratic Minnesota lawmakers who were injured recently, the pizzagate shooter, pulse nightclub (bonus: perpetrated by an ISIS sympathizer, a right-wing extremist terrorist group)

People don’t wonder why you shy away from the trans movement, we know it’s got nothing to do with left wing violence and more to do with creating a scapegoat class that is rare enough (<1% of the population) so that most people don’t know any of them. Gay men didn’t work as a scapegoat class because just about everyone eventually knew a gay man and figured out that they are normal, nice people.


Agreed it's not really to do with violence per se, even though that is a concerning behavior amongst a small number of activists.

People on both the right and the left, and in-between, are shying away from that movement more because of the demonstrably negative impact on women's rights.


TQ has damaged acceptance for LGB, and we pay the price while they move on to the next fun trend.


True, and even worse than that, their ideology is fundamentally homophobic.
