This nails it. The Right's rediscovery of Richard Nixon is not about particular policies—some good, some bad—but about the aesthetic, the attitude, and the narrative of the self-made man who won 49 states on behalf of the Silent Majority, and was taken down in a Deep State coup.
@politicalmath Donald Trump inspired an attack on the Capitol, pardoned every single one of the criminals, and continues to this day to try to destroy American democracy with no consequence
@politicalmath i agree there must be consequences for institutional destruction, which is why it's important to oppose Donald Trump and vote for Democrats
@JSmails@wesyang What if a woman objects to a "man" that's in her space but it turns out that "man" is a woman, born female, but these women are on a psycho crusade against trans people and so they think any woman who's too "manly" is a man and calls the cops on them
@intermetro65754@wesyang I don't think trans people are definitionally pedophiles or sex offenders. The vast majority of trans people are just regular people. And the vast majority of women who would have the cops called on them under your regime would he cis women.
@luanmahi@wesyang 98% accuracy? So two out of every hundred women who uses a public bathroom should be accused of being too manly, and trans, and told to get out?
@JSmails@wesyang I think there should be social stigma around trans women who don't make any attempt to pass, just like I think we shouldn't call the cops on women who look too manly just because we're on an anti-trans crusade
@SuzanneWalsh72@stillnotking75@wesyang Like I said, I don't know where that picture is from. I can't tell if her skirt has an erection or if it's a weird fold. You can't just post a photo with no source and no explanation and expect people to figure it out. Did you take this picture? Because I can't tell.
@wesyang The problem with "heterodox" thinkers like Wes is that they're complete cowards about actually engaging with the issues when it comes down to it.

@SuzanneWalsh72@stillnotking75@wesyang How many times in your 54 years of existence has a man territory marking and trophy hunting his selfie shot in a public bathroom with you?
@Mrbob_dobolina@stillnotking75@wesyang I agree that it's better when trans women make an attempt at passing. It's not better when people call the cops on women who look too manly in the bathroom
