Bill after bill, EO after EO, airwaves clogged with outraged regurgitations of some sort of transgender apocalypse.
The rightists are obsessed with 0.6% of the population.
Yes. You heard that right.
0.6
And that tiny percent is garnering more attention, legislative hubris, and emotional energy than the economy, encroaching fascism, multiple major conflicts and the price of eggs.
And, the clincher…this tiny 0.6% hasn’t even committed a crime. The mere fact that they exist at all, much less in public arena creates a sense of urgency that supersedes all else.
Of course they, like immigrants, are the low hanging fruit for the legislative swords of our new fascist epoch. They can’t really fight back.
