Most Americans believe that it’s a “problem” that Republicans are transphobic.
A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a “problem” for either party. 44% said that transphobia was “a major problem” among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was “a minor problem.” Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.
Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after “hostility toward immigrants.” “Tolerance of political violence,” “conspiracy thinking,” “white supremacy,” “homophobia,” and “fascism” followed closely behind.
Oddly, 40% of respondents said that “transgender ideology” was “a major problem” for Republicans, and another 20% said it was “a minor problem.” 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.
I dunno. Personally, I think both can be true. Project 2025, for example, was published in 2023 and went largely under the radar for months, likely making the rounds at CPAC. It wasn’t until discovered a year later that the GOP was forced to go into damage control. It’s obvious no one was supposed to know about it. So, yeah, all that transphobic hate they spew is no doubt genuine but it’s probably hiding something more sinister as well.
The sinister part is control. They discovered long ago that giving people something to hate can bind them. The people pushing this agenda could give a shit either way about the people they designate as the enemy. It’s why they so easily jump from one to the next. As soon as the current boogeyman isn’t boosting their numbers enough, move on to the next boogeyman. They did this for years while slowly degrading education until people were too stupid they were being handled. It’s structured evil controlling the cultivated stupid.
