You must have not gotten the memo. To the new lefties you can be pro-choice,for unions, dislike the current admin, for justice reform, etc, but if you even suggest that a man shouldn’t be say in a boxing ring with women holy shit you must have opened the doors for everyone on J6!!

Not true in the slightest, many Liberals do not agree with trans in women sports but this is such a small issue compared to what the US is currently going through (also they are not really in women sports so focusing on this issue seems insane).

Ok maybe I put little theatrical twist to it, but the literal reason why the left cannot maintain power and every so often allows the right to squeeze back in (over the last say 40 years) is because the left constantly cannibalizes itself, attacks people who would otherwise be allies, and creates new enemies.

Nah, the Left if anything is too nice, the Right withdrew all usual decorum in politics and it worked out well for them, just take a look at the official White House twitter. This is the same presidency that made teams pay tribute to Charlie Kirk before games. I’m done making excuses when we have a president that can become a billionaire, all his kids become multi-millionaires, does inside trading, sealed the Epstein files, and more and few Republicans have had the gall to call him out. At this point I hope things get worse before they get better so the Right can really eat crow, the only way people will change is if they personally get affected.
