I'm not a US person, but I would like to know what exactly is so bad about the trump man.

Besides looking funi and not being all that cool, did his win last time influence trans people that much?

Or is he just really pushing the anti-trans agenda harder this time?

Maybe I missed a twitter post or something, I'm just confused about why people are only now thinking of moving out.

Take a look at the Wikipedia page for Project 2025. It's basically the Republican manifesto for everything they want to to "acomplish" now they have power. This time, Trump has the House, the Senate and the supreme court on his side so there's nothing that can stop these plans.

I just read this german article about it and oof it scary woah

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you see the whole project 2025 thing?

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nope I did not see the whole project 2025 thing. Imma look at it now and probably edit this comment when I'm done

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Its... Scary. I'm not even in the US and it terrifies me.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok WOAH this is scary! This reads like a dictatorship and strong influence of the people leading the country.

Also Eliminating woke propaganda at every level of government. sounds like such a shitpost, but they seem to mean it.

Removing critical race theory and gender ideology curricula in every public school in the country. Ok oof. They really mean it.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 6 points 1 week ago

Using the word "woke" in official political messaging really has thrown me for a loop this election cycle.

And yeah. This shit is scary. Trump tries to downplay how linked he is to this, but its a facade and a bad one at that.

Key points include classifying "transgender ideology" as pornography, banning porn and making it a sex offense, introducing the death penalty for sex offenders. All those together....

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Sooo they wanna ban porn (people totally gonna like that), making it classify as a sex offense and then point at transgender people and allys and say look, they're offending me!?

That's actually insane

Ok wow woah ok like WOW this IS BAD!!!!

I thought this was part of the project 2025 (which is still not exactly confirmed to be his plan, as far as I can tell), but NO! And the comments are even worse...

I really dislike this one comment of a person saying they are a "gay guy" but left the lgbt community ever since they "talked directly to children" whiiiiich is absoulte BS.
