My dad was going off about trans kids in sports so I asked him…is this really how you want your tax dollars spent? Fightings to keep a handful of kids from playing college sports?
“Yeah, well I, uh, it’s just not fair to the other athletes!”
I love my dad but I don’t engage with him seriously about politics anymore. Specific facts don’t matter, he only cares about “the big picture”…so instead of of arguing, I give him the even bigger picture: none of this shit matters. It’s all a distraction while they rob us blind.
The important part is that people in a democracy have to be held responsible. If and when the fascists of this world are finally taken down, we need to make the people pay who put them in power.
You can let him feel them now. Join the counter movement and learn how to help rid the world from fascism through talking, protesting, writing. Those are the weapons of a democracy.

I’m sure your dad was really concerned about fairness in women’s athletics before the culture wars arrived, right?
Such a disingenuous stance from so many people that I’d bet would have a hard time naming five female athletes.
In order to be a Republican, you kind of have to be a walking contradiction
That’s an excellent way to confront that issue! Americans might not be able to interact with empathy or sympathy but we cannot stand feeling dumb😂
Watch out, some just double-down when they feel dumb.
There’s a reason that movement is so anti-intellectual and don’t care for facts.

Not sure my dad will be around long enough to feel any real consequences
