Those ladies have bigger brass balls than you will ever have: at least they can publicly admit who they are inside. We straights hung ourselves up to dry on the cross of Judeo-Christian ethics long ago. We perversely believe, against all obvious evidence to the contrary, that in every case when someones outside doesn't agree with their inside it's a perversion. Those people aren't transitioning, we are. Show some humanity.

What are you talking about?  I just wanted to observe women’s month by highlighting some accomplished women.  From athletics to intellect to the military, I salute these women of excellence.

Joe, it's one thing to answer him. But did you have to quote his post to do it?

Man, you just don't get it. It's like the people who laughed at Trumps mocking of a disabled reporter, was that OK? You have Gay friends, we're assured, are they sicko's? Would you laugh at someone with Tourettes? Are you so locked into a narrow understanding that you cannot understand that how we see ourselves happens at the level of the brain not our belt buckles?

Sorry, Joe. 

It's you that doesn't get it.

Trump supporters laughed when Trump mocked the disabled reporter because they LOVED it.
They loved ALL of his shitty behaviors.

The calling for the black protestor to be 'roughed up'.
The claims that Mexicans are rapists & Muslims are terrorists.
The 'grab them by the pussy'.
The "shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it".

They want SO BADLY to be able to treat people like that themselves.
But they aren't rich & powerful, so they get consequences for their actions.

They LOVED that Trump could do that sort of shit and get away with it.

Trump supporters even said as much.

The "he's hurting the wrong people" comment said it all.

The Trumpettes wanted Trump to hurt people. 
They were hateful and wanted to see 'those people' hurt. 

They were also ignorant and didn't realize that Trump only saw them as marks to be conned.
Trump didn't give a shit WHO he hurt. He just wanted everyone to worship him.

Most Trump supporters, as far as I can tell, have one overriding desire - to be better than the guy next to them.

So mocking the disabled guy next to them?  Makes them feel like they are better than that guy.
Grabbing women by the pussy and getting away with it?  Makes them feel more powerful than the woman next to them.
Mexicans are rapists?  Blacks get roughed up - and are from "shithole countries?"  Makes them feel like they are superior to those types.
Waiters, bartenders and hotel clerks?  Treat them like shit, thus demonstrating how much better you are than them.
Golf?  Cheat as much as you can, because then you are (on paper) better than the people you are playing with.
Something proves you wrong?  Take a Sharpie and fix it, so that you are right and the guy next to you is wrong.
Two courses of action to take?  Take the one that "owns the libs" because then you are superior to them.  Even if it hurts you - as long as it hurts them more.
Successful trans women?  Mock them and take them down a peg, to make yourself feel a bit more superior.

That's what makes them happy - and that's what makes them want to emulate Trump.  Trump is the very embodiment of the effort to be superior to the people around him.

There was a recent debate about the term "liberal."  And the classic definition of liberal would apply to most people on this forum, even if the more recent definition of "liberal" is "a democrat."  That's misleading because (for example) the rights to personally own property and guns are very liberal rights.

However, with Trump there is a clear delineation.  Trump is anti-liberal in the classic sense.  A classic liberal's definition of "better" when it comes to politics is something that makes everyone (or almost everyone) in the country better.  Maybe it's the right to free speech, or the right to own guns, or a nationwide road system, or an EPA that prevents factories from polluting so much and harming Americans.  But for Trumpies, "better" means "better than the guy next to me."  And you can get there by improving your situation - or making his worse.  Both ways the Trump supporter "wins."

Don't you mean 'out from under their rocks'?

I've said it a few times.

I didn't realize how strong the racism in this country still was until Obama got elected.

Then all the racists lost their shit because one of 'them' was in the "White" house.

All the "Secret Muslim" shit, all the "Kenyan" shit, all the subtle shit, all the blatant shit.

Then Trump came along and made it ok to be that way openly.

And all of them came out from under their rocks and put on MAGA hats.

It is not just in your country. It is everywhere. When they come out into the light at least we can see who they are.

Hi Joe,

Trump doesn't give a shit WHO he hurts.

I think this is more like it.
