Ta-Nehisi Coates discusses Republicans attacking trans people; Calls it “bullying"

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

The fact he’s talking about this and grappling with coping with the reality that this decided the election proves that trans issues were a major issue in deciding the election



Meanwhile Coates wanted people to crash out over Gaza which actually also did hurt Kamala Harris and the democrats. So which is it??? Did these marginal issues help or hurt democrats?

Coates is lying to you.

You don’t spend time on things you dont think matter. Coates knows this matters but wants to try and shirk any accountability for acknowledging the Democrats have to pivot on this issue to remain a viable party. If you notice, he’s not talking about climate change or illegal immigration. He’s talking about “bullying”. he’s not talking about whether or not democrats have the correct stance not his issue. He’s equating his commentary on the issue with “resolving” the issue, when in fact it’s a strategic deflection. It’s the way evasive people like to say “I’ve addressed this” and not “I’ve resolved this”.

It is bullying.
I'm not even sure what Trans issues are currently something the federal government should be involved with.

They/them commercial won the election

So Dems either ditch that group or go ten toes down again in '28

Right. Coates is trying to claim simultaneously that dems didn’t pivot on Gaza…but then dems had the right position on trans issues?

Trans activists are different from democratically elected officials. I see people blur these lines all the time.

Coates says “is this happening in your state”…ok so theres evidence of this, so does that change his opinion or not?

Can anyone explain the difference between the androgynous era in the 1980s and 1990s and the trans erra of today? A lot of entertainers in the 80s and 90s looked like trans people today.

I want to hate, but I just need a little more clarity so that I hate right.
