I keep trying to get this through to people. LGBTQIA+ folks need to support each other. When people start saying "Well, I have my rights, but fuck you for yours", I see red. I have lived with bi erasure, ace erasure, and enby erasure. I look like a cis woman, but I'm actually enby, bi, and ace.
The GOP has sprayed a firehose of lies and distortions at their base and anyone who is sucked in to their media ecosystem. Often rural markets only have Fox affiliates or Sinclair owned local stations, all of whom spin right. Even CNN, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are sucking up to the right, sane washing them and framing issues in their terminology.
The Religious Reich has been working on this like termites since the 1970s. They put Reagan into power. Each successive Democratic administration and Congress keeps getting suckered in to the GOP framing, and "compromise" with people who don't, won't and probably can't compromise. It's like Lucy with the football, and maddening as fuck.
