Blaming everyone but themself.
Now more than ever, Democrats should show they are there for people...and they throw Transgender under the bus.
Utterly despicable.

Up to 80% of Trans voters, voted for Democrats...and that is how they are rewarded.
Not that its a surprise considering the Democrats did little to respond to the rights anti trans panic propaganda...ever.

Still, disgusting how there is this rise in Transphobia...now even the Democrats jump in.

What angers me about this is that no community is there for others like the Trans community.
No community does as much for others as the Trans community.
But time and time again, nobody has Trans peoples back.
One of the kindest communities i ever encountered, and they got so little support...it makes me so incredible angry.

A government run by transphobes, their opposite party also transpobic, the biggest social media networks owned by transphobes, the media spews constantly transphobic lies...it just make me so angry.

I know a decent amount of American Politics, but not everything.
How much could Democrats interfere with Trumps more radical plans if they at least would have the power over one Branch?

I think the Republicans are going to control both the House and the Senate, so I don't think there is much they can do.

It's a repeat of 2016 all over again, at least until the midterm elections.
