    I think it’s important to note that transphobia, especially for latest brand of transphobia, affects cisgender people as well. If you do not look feminine enough as a woman to transphobes, they will make your life hell.

      And gay people. Like the math isn’t mathing. They don’t like you, they don’t want you to have marriage or rights, they just want a quick rub and tug during a GOP convention

        This is the problem simplifying everything down to “left or right”

        Most people support a range of policies that come from “both sides”. The US having really only two electable parties makes political alignment seem binary and drives the divide further

        E.g. Stock-trading ban for lawmakers, came from the right but both sides agree. Congressional term limits, also right sided where people on both sides agree. Child tax credits, tax breaks for affordable housing construction come to mind too.

        There’s many other right wing policies many people find reasonable

        Someone who could be described as “right wing” might not support burning gays at the stake, or banning gay marriage, but still have economically right or otherwise “right wing” views.

        The political compass does a decent job and splitting it into two dimensions but it’s still far more nuanced that that

    I always thought of Candace as a right-wing conspiracy nut/grifter but on this issue and the Charlie Kirk assassination, I actually think she has a few good points. Why would Macron try so damn hard to shut her up if it was just “crazy talk”.
