Donald Trump gave a rambling two-hour speech at a right-wing conference where he branded the U.S. a ā€œthird-world hellholeā€ under President Bidenā€™s leadership. He falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged and investigations against him are an attempt to rig the 2024 election. He threatened to revoke funding from universities and pledged to revive the Muslim ban, mass deportations, and ending birthright citizenship. Several speakers at the conference made inflammatory claims about transgender people, calling transition healthcare ā€œMengele-like experimentationā€ and referring to trans people as ā€œfreaksā€ and "perverts.

Former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly said she no longer has empathy for people experiencing gender dysphoria. ā€œThere should be a healthy measure of ridicule,ā€ she told Kirk during a lengthy discussion about trans people and the erasure of trans rights, which Kirk said is a ā€œwinner politically for Republicans.ā€

These people are fucking ghouls.

Just a few more steps and sheā€™ll be saying ā€œare these trans people even people anyway?ā€

Publicly. They already say it in private.

In private I bet most of these people donā€™t talk about it at all. They probably donā€™t actually have strong opinions on the subject one way or the other. They just use the hate to inflame their tool followers to keep themselves in their positions of wealth.
