Remember when LibsOfTiktok was just targeted harassment of social minorities and not a mainstream culture war propagandist?

It's weird that people keep propagating their posts. Just block it and let it disappear into obscurity... Nobody should give a fuck about what they post, it's all negative IQ garbage.

This is one of the things I don't get. One of the big reasons Trump got such a huge boost in polls was because every time he did anything ridiculous and godawful, every news outlet reported on it. Putting his name on everyone's tongue. And every single one of these fuckers does the same thing. They do ridiculous outrageous awful things, everyone reports on it, and so they get more of the news cycle than anything else.

It's also kind of disgusting that people voted for him despite all the shit he's on the record saying and doing.

Good reminder Elon Musk got gender affirming care to which it failed his already limp grotesque dick

Whenever he's transphobic I always think of his daughter Vivian and feel like it must hurt her a lot. It's sad

My pet theory is that he’s transphobic because Vivian destroyed his dream of having only sons. He (in)famously uses IVF so he can selectively only have male embryos implanted. And Vivian flies in the face of that plan. Vivian is living proof that even with all of the modern scientific marvels of IVF and all the money in the world, he still can’t accomplish his goal of only having boys.

I don't know about those specifics, but I too think that Elmu's reaction to Vivian's transition is a large part of his transphobia. I'm pretty sure he'd be a POS anyway, but society not letting him control his progeny really gets him worked up.

His top (of head) surgery was also gender-affirming healthcare.
