    The US is demonstrably getting worse on trans rights, an issue I assume'd you'd care about.

    Very much and on the STATE LEVEL, some states are taking right away. On a national level, trans people have never been so socially accepted before, and it shows. Trans people being out has never been higher.

    Now in your precious Russia, your life is at risk just for being under suspicion of being gay, much less being publically trans.

      State level for now . And those states are like half of them. The GOP is gearing up for a genocide, whether they'll be successful I don't know. But all my trans friends in the US are scared, including those living in Blue states. All of them wish they could get the fuck out of this country.

      Now in your precious Russia

      Stop this. Its a ridiculous strawman and I have stated that it is not my opinion multiple times. Russia is a hellhole in many ways and its record on queer rights is one of them.

        And go where? Russia?

        Maybe you can disband NATO, and they won't have to leave, you can just bring Russia here instead.

        And while Putin is carting them off to camps, they can say, "well at least it's not the GOP."

          No, they don't want to go to Russia. And you knew that, you're just being annoying and obstinate.

          Your accuse us of obsession over Russia but you're clearly obsessively paranoid about them if you think NATO disbandment would lead to Russia conquering the United States.

            Then go where?

            If they want to get the fuck out of the US, where do they want to go and why aren't they going there?
