Transphobic, homophonic, xenophobic.
- What's the right word for science phobic?
  
  Luddite?
  
  Moron fits nicely enough.
  
  I dunno.
  But… is the right word for “all the phobias” panphobic?
  
  What's the word for "doing the right thing" phobic and "being a decent person" phobic?
  Ah I think that's just called being a republican.
  
  Scientiphobic? It at least jams the right Latin words together.
- At this point, what aren't they scared of?
That's just because they still feel safe in public bigotry against trans folks. They still have all the old bigotries too; Muslims, atheists, gays, non protestant/evangelical Christians, black people, etc they just know if they come out publically against those demographics they'll never win an election. So they use coded language, instead of the n word in public they say DEI, diversity, urban, etc. When ranting against trans folks in public they try to equivocate how people dress with being overtly sexual because that's the same bs their pastor or political leader told them to think. The reason they scapegoat trans folks is because they are rare so most people especially in low population rural areas don't have any trans friends or interact with trans folks on a regular basis to correct the isolationist demonization pushed by many churches and political conservatives.
They are coming for the majority of America, too. One way or another, most people will fall outside the narrow inner circle that is considered a "real" Merrikan.
- I'm definitely not white or straight enough for Project 2025.
  It reminds me of a certain country in the 1920s that had chosen a small segment of the population as superior...hmmm...which country was that again? Dutchland?
  /s, kinda
Have you not heard Biden Old?
- This meme is going to hit a lot harder a couple years from now when they're sending everyone that Trump and his doners hate to concentration camps.
Yeah no shit this isn't news
The GOP ~~'s proposed national platform~~ is extremely transphobic
The GOP is transphobic, not transformer.
Sounds about right as they say.
Approximately 88% of congress identifies as Christian. Does that mean we need to get rid of most Democrats & Biden too since they are Christians who discriminate against LGBTQ+ people?
- You are making a false equivalency between "being Christian" and "being a bigot". While there is a high correlation, particularly with some denominations of Christianity, they are not synonymous. (Heck, I've seen some religious groups at my local Pride celebrations for years.)
  Presumably you're aware of this.
  
  Ask them if they believe the Bible and even the New Testament to be the word of God. If they say yes, then they are either liars or not true followers of their religion.
- It's too bad that being a xtian, like being a con, is over-represented in our Congress.
- Yes, but people aren't ready for that talk
  
  Exactly... Democrats & Republicans both enable the very same organizations that promote anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes. They've allowed cults to take over America.
