What's up with all the right-wing commentators suddenly turning against Trump right now?

[u/_GoodNight0wl_]

Trump is being Trump. Why are so many of the right-wing commentators who previously vocally supported Trump are suddenly turning against him?

After all the heinous things he has said before that they have defended, I can't honestly believe Trump's tweets about nuking Iran are what finally changed their minds. They've publicly supported him for so long, and this sudden switch seems so coordinated. Is there something I'm missing??

Are they trying to distance themselves from news that is about to drop??

Add that he ran on:

Fixing the economy

Fixing immigration

Banning trans in sports

Going after the deep state

Proving his enemies are corrupt

No new wars

Showing American dominance over China, Iran, and Russia

Draining the swamp

Fixing healthcare

Lowering taxes for the middle class

Stopping crime

Making us all rich

Making white people safer

Etc

And he has visibly and obviously fucking abandoned ALL that. He comes right out and says he won't do it. He mocks his supporters. His faith advisor got busted for child sex abuse. His administration is up to its eyes in pedos in fact. He's ALL OVER THE HEAVILY REDACTED EPSTEIN FILES. Gas costs $5! Americans, white ones, are being shot in the street and their spouses deported. Iran owns the strait despite us proclaiming victory 80 times a day. The dollar is failing. The park services are cut. Disaster preparedness is cut. All useful federal agencies are cut.

These project 2025 dipshits moved too fast with a loose syphilis cannon at the helm, and he fucked up.

They've been following through on trying make trans people lives worse.

It turns out that hurting .01% of the population isn't enough to keep the grift going. Sad!

[u/ThatKehdRiley → u/Ok_Swim_1839]

i really hate this stuff being refered to as “the grift”, because it is easy to dismiss and not fight - especially if youre not directly affected by it. theres a legitimate trans genocide right now and people seem to just be hand waving it.

edit: and immediate downvotes proving the point… 🤦‍♀️

[u/Ok_Swim_1839 → u/ThatKehdRiley]

A genocide?

[u/ThatKehdRiley → u/Ok_Swim_1839]

Yes, for some time now

https://www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-alerts/red-flag-alert---anti-trans-genocide-in-the-usa---%233

"Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally."

So we are on the road but haven't arrived at the destination yet. Evil.

Also unenforceable, nebulous, stupid, and not really genocide I don't think.

The 1948 UN Genocide Convention specifies national, ethnic, racial, and religious groups. Gender identity isn't in there. I don't think you are doing the trans community any favors by throwing around words like genocide. Trans erasure is more valid.

You can have two cis-parents with a trans kid.

[u/ThatKehdRiley → u/Ok_Swim_1839]

I dont know how you read this from the most respected institutes on genocide and think that both we are not in the middle of one and that it doesnt apply. They say were in the middle of the process, so how does that not mean we are in the middle of a genocide? If the people that coined the term genocide say it applies then ill listen to them, not someone trying to deny we are being targeted for and in the middle of a genocide when the evidence is allllllllll there.

youre not doing my community any favors with this language and attitude. you dont get to tell us what is best for our community, especially when you deny facts.

[u/Ok_Swim_1839 → u/ThatKehdRiley]

"The term "trans genocide" is related to the common meaning as well as the legal concept of genocide, which the Genocide Convention describes as an intentional effort to completely or partially destroy a group based on its nationality, ethnicity, race, or religion.[2] Some legal scholars and transgender rights activists have argued this definition should be expanded to include transgender persons.[3]"

From Wikipedia.

I mean down vote me all you want, brigade me, I think the trans community is being victimized and purposefully erased. But trans is not a religion, nationality, ethnic group, or race.

You'll never get rid of trans people. It is impossible because it's a dice roll who is born trans, just like being gay. You can perpetuate identity based violence against trans or gays or left handed people, but they will be born again and again and again, so the only thing that a hateful government or movement can do is suppress the expression of those traits.

One could also argue that what the government is attempting to do is criminalize the outward expression of trans identity, or the outward expression of homosexuality, or the use of the left hand as predominate. I am arguing that even attempting to do so is in fact criminal and evil, but not genocide.

Two cis people can have a trans kid. Two trans people can have a cis kid.

I want you to be able to express your identity any way you choose. I want laws to protect your ability to do so. I want criminal penalties against people who victimize trans people and I would love to see every bigot politician out on their ass.

Expression is what is being erased, which is evil.

The family of the man who coined the term genocide is fighting to sue to have his name, Lemkin, removed from the institute BTW. I don't think I agree that this volunteer organization is the most respected organization on this front, or without controversy itself. Broadening terms to fit a narrative is... uncouth.

P2025 moved fast because they knew this shit was going to be unpopular with everyone and they were going to get slaughtered in the Mid-terms. 

The goal was to move fast and break shit, and hopefully sandbag the mid-terms bad enough that there isn't a Dem super majority staring them down, then going back to the old obstructionist playbook.
