Libs, walking straight into chud talking points and framing in a blissfully innocent attempt at "nuance" since...1650? Earlier? Fucked if I know they've always been this way.

The usual GC types are already making out-of-context clips.

Uphold TC69 thought, combat liberalism, We love and fight with our Trans Comrades!

    I always turn that around and say "and the kids who are trans? what about them? What specific actions are you proposing to ensure they get what they need as quickly as possible?"

    It shuts them up pretty fast when they realise their answer is "Suffer because I really hope my kid isn't trans and the problem will go away on its own and I am actually exactly like the boomers in 1995 who are afraid their child is gay that I mock over my Pinot Noir."

      Thanks for this. It's gonna come up more and more, and honestly it's not my strongest issue to debate.

        I know an older woman (late GG/Early Boomer) and she is cis and white and centre right devout Anglican. And she is desperately trying to get her late Gen X children to accept their Son who is falling into a cycle of despair. It's heartbreaking (though we do what we can and the kid is being introduced to networks that will help.

        To Combat Liberalism isn't just a meme, it does sometimes mean we need to be "THAT GUY" over dinner.
