Are there seriously people who believe that transgender people made democrats lose the election?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Yes, the same establishment democrats that fucked up this campaign. They literally can't admit that factors like economic policy or Gaza were huge causes, because their employers won't allow them, so they have to find another scapegoat.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

they took a page out of the Republican handbook.

when in doubt, blame trans people.

There have been Democrat "strategists" that say the campaign was "too woke" which includes trans people.

Though I can't remember when Kamala actually talked about trans people in her rallies.

Yeah. The Republicans ran a ton of anti-trans hysteria ads at all levels, including Trump. The Democrats didn't significantly address the issue, so the belief is everyone just believed the nonsense from the anti-trans ads.

I am skeptical of this theory until there's good data to back it up (not holding my breath). I doubt it convinced anyone who wasn't already transphobic; it may have helped turning out transphobes.

I haven't seen this take anywhere. It's all gaza talk and being establishment.
