“We’re seeing a war against trans individuals being waged by our federal government, and we, as citizens, need to be willing to step up and say this is not OK,” Kluwe said. “The Democratic Party has taken a very defensive posture on trans issues when that’s the absolute wrong thing to do. You don’t make a bully go away by cowering in the corner and say, I’ll agree with you on these little things. That just encourages the bully.
“We need to be full-throated in the attack, saying these are people who pay taxes, who serve in our military, and who are entitled to the exact same rights that every single other American is entitled to, which includes health care and the opportunity to live a prosperous life. We can’t be afraid of the right-wing fear machine. We have to take it to them, show that we’re willing to fight.”
Yes, either you stand for liberty and justice for all or you don’t and Dems are supposed to defend that and pursuit of happiness for all. These are basic values and fiercely supporting them is what the country was supposedly about. Of course it hasn’t lived up to it fully, but Dems have passed laws to get closer to the ideals and maga goes the opposite way. They depend on in and out groups while Dems want all included, raise all boats and be excellent to each other! The difference is between controlling dualistic groups that suppress people, and platforms that follow what’s healthy and works in places with happy people to actualize. The answers are available so use them to pass the test and stop failing it every other time!
