Who did AF vote for? Hell, he gets almost as whiny as Swordy when people don't wag our tails when Trump throws us a bone. And if you don't care what I think, then...?
You know what. At this point I'm not even sure WHAT you think on this subject? Here's my very clear position. I don't think that trans-women should have more rights to bare their tits around kids than cisgender women. Do you agree or disagree? I don't think kids, straight or gay, trans or cis, should be sexualized. Do you agree or disagree? I think it's perfectly fine for someone to discuss the cultural phenomenon of backlash THAT HAS HAPPENED AT THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL without being accused of secretly or naively supporting the re-election of Trump. At this point the 2024 election is history. And history should be looked at through an objective lens. And objectively, if Trump hadn't even existed the backlash would have still happened because the assumptions that were being pushed were not based on facts but rather were part of an agenda.
As far as not caring what you think, I'm not allowed to be ambivalent about ANYTHING you say? I agree with you and @PAF on a lot. I just think you're both wrong here. Trump rode the trans backlash. He didn't create it. And no, I don't think the "powers that be" were dependent upon a conservative backlash. They want the world's population ultimately reduced to 500 million people. One way to get there is to get people to "voluntarily" sterilize themselves before even becoming adults. State sanctioned suicide is also being pushed by the same people. I recall this story from last year:

Physically healthy Dutch woman, 28, decides to be euthanized due to crippling depression
She is just one of the growing number of people in the West who have decided to die rather than continue living in pain that, unlike a terminal illness, could be treated.

You can't imagine how much HATE I get in the comments section of stories that covered that woman simply because I said she really shouldn't kill herself. How DARE I say ANYTHING NEGATIVE about someone literally deciding to kill herself! I didn't say the government should stop her. I didn't ask for new laws to be passed. (This wasn't even my country). I just said I didn't think it was a good idea. Sometimes "tyranny" comes from the people claiming to be fighting against it. The "tyranny" that says "You can't have an opinion because it might promote tyranny."
My analysis comparing Mussolini and Trump is fundamentally flawed because Mussolini is kind of like Trump? Well, "flaw" or not, I don't mind owning it.
The problem is you don't seem to understand HOW Trump and Mussolini are similar.
