Does she not see she's in a position of massive privilege? Does she not know that the oligarchs don't give a fuck beyond their own optics? That the majority of them don't believe the shit they're peddling, but the rest of us have to deal with their fucking propagandized base.
I wish I believed it :(
I think it is true, I saw a statistic recently that did show the majority of people are supportive or at least neutral. It's just that the most awful people are also often the loud ones with lots of money to spend on propaganda against us, so it feels like there's more of them in comparison to the quiet majority.
Yeah if only some of those supportive folks were actual lawmakers that could make trans folks lives better, wouldn't that be fucking crazy
I personally feel like this has always been the case, the scary part is the increased vehemence of the hate-adled minority over the past 5-10 years.
This is a major reason I refuse to watch broadcast TV especially anytime near election cycles. The number of absolute garbage attack ads against us is enraging and I refuse to let them get me upset. And because these TV channels only care about the money they are getting and could care less if the content is complete misinformation, I refuse to watch the rest of the year as well. Freedom of speech should not be an unregulated engine for hatred but that is what we have I guess.
