Scapegoating a woman, and leaning into racism. Both are core Trump behaviors.
Should have seen this coming, tbh.

Lady with necklaces, "When do we stop scapegoating immigrants in general"

They love that whole “hating America” schtick when really it’s just a thin veil for their love of scapegoating, classism, racism, fascism, transphobia and homophobia.

What I've found to work best is teaching people about how trans people's struggles connect to their own. Everyone is struggling. When they realize how scapegoating works, it can help to build solidarity and redirect their focus to the real source of their problems—capitalism
Just---what will make you care? If it isn't women's sports orgs being attacked while having 0 trans woman athletes, if it isn't the push to inspect children's genitals, if it isn't all the evidence of how much we're harmed and assaulted and denied participation in society, WHAT WILL MAKE YOU CARE?

Is Stephen Miller as extreme and bigoted as he seems? Will he and Russell Vought control all the levers of power? After scapegoating Susie Wiles for the election will Trump dump Hegseth for the war? What’s up with Vance?
A Saturday dose of Trumpian Kremlinology!

We now push these Diet Republican motherfuckers to the left or in front of a train of political obscurity.
MAKE THEM protect Black and Brown people. Queer people. Disabled people. No scapegoating trans people, Latinos, or Muslims for a false "peace."

“MAGA is dying.” As though fascism isn’t defined by its ability to morph its façade in order to retain state power for the purposes of monopoly capital and racial scapegoating.

Could it be that pandering to legitimate concerns and allowing the scapegoating of minorities is not the way to beat the far right after all?

While we celebrate these massive wins remember that liberals are still throwing trans people under the bus across the country.
And they're more likely to double down on scapegoating us the more they win these centrist races.
You must apply pressure if you believe trans rights are human rights.
