Thank you. Californian over here. I am disgusted with what our government and the magtards that voted them in are doing. Do what you need to do to defend yourselves but please keep in mind Americans are not all awful.

Its not just money and power he wants. Read May Trump’s book and you’ll learn his father was a psychopath who verbally berated his older brother Fred (Mary’s father) so much so that Fred found comfort in alcohol and died young. Young Donald learned to identify with the aggressor in order to win his father’s regard. To my mind, Putin reminds Trump of his father and he wants to please his father.

He’s plenty smart in terms of verbal fluency and debate. However he lacks introspective capacity or moral center or empathy, without which he is simply an ambitiously sharp tool being wielded by others (like Thiel)

If you can accept the reality of gender dysphoria, then it is reasonable to address how that condition is best treated. The consequences of not treating can be lethal via suicide so this is not an idle question. If transitioning makes the difference between life or death (or chronic substantial depression) then arguably encouraging this affected people to “be trans” is the right thing to do. Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that’s the reality of it.
