Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

If I were her kid I'd never speak to her again
"This whole notion that it's woke Democrats that are turning our kids into being trans is idiotic," she says. So is the argument that doctors are driven by profit. "It's kind of laughable because the population is so small," she says. "So why? Why? Why are they doing this?"
Because they are a convenient scapegoat to falsely attribute all your problems.
Maybe this woman should consider why her fellow Republicans similarly blame immigrants for problems and put two and two together.

That level of self-awareness gets surgically removed the instant one chooses to identify as a republican.
I think I'd rather kill myself than become a Republican, if I was forced to pick one tbh. My empathy for the common struggle of regular people working to simply live quiet lives is like a core part of what I am, I can't imagine myself without it. I'm not perfect by any means, and I've got some contradictions and biases, but like holy shit I don't know if you could cut that out of my brain without killing me in the process.
"Fuck you until it's about me, then I want special treatment but still fuck you." - Modern Republicans
Ever wonder who responds to those ads for interviews about how X policy by President X affected them? Well there you have it. This journalist found a long time Californian Republican with a trans child.
The dissonance is here:
A longtime Republican herself, A.W. says she never would have believed her family would need this help. "But we do need it," she says. "We need it really badly right now because my husband is still unemployed."
She says she knew the rule restricting access to transgender care through Medicaid was coming, since it was proposed in December. Still, when it was published, she felt panicked. "The initial just — what are we going to do?"
The article doesn't mention 1) if she voted for trump 2) or his transphobic policies. I am not so sure what else is there to go by, that she “chose a leopard to eat her face.”
