This is a proposed law targeting exactly one person: Incoming trans Congresswoman Sarah McBride of Delaware. Nancy Mace is a transphobic, hateful troll who voted with teen rapist Matt Gaetz to depose her own party’s speaker, but the bathrooms. That’s where she’s focused.

Ironic nearly all the voices lamenting the Dem losses and blaming "identity politics" are white men. As though whiteness is not the biggest identity in the country. And accepting zero responsibility for their role in the losses. Esp since they overwhelmingly run all the media and strategy STILL.

He not only likes them because they reflect him and his misogyny and violence but he will fight for them because he doesn’t see it as spending his “political capital”. In Trumps world he now owns it all, there are no limits. Anyone who doesn’t understand stand back!
