I mean, yeah America's rightward spiral is depressing, especially if you live there. But it's not exactly an American-exclusive phenomenon. Italy elected a far-right party, France might in their next Presidential election, and even Germany's far-right party is surging in the polls. Honestly, I'm struggling to think of a country that hasn't seen a massive rightward surge over the last few years.
Turns out people really really hate trans folks. Since they’ve become the favored conservative punching bag it’s helped them considerably. They’re a platform built entirely on hate at this point.
