If you tell Americans outside cosmopolitan cities they must declare themselves publicly as “cis het” or else they’re a bigot (I caricature but only slightly), then you should expect to lose elections.

And American elections tend to affect other people in the world. That’s why lots of us wish you would let up a bit on this nonsense.

Nothing even close to that is happening and you’d have to be willfully ignorant to pretend otherwise

With all due respect, I live in the Midwest and run with some rather blue-collar people in a completely blue, large city.

Everyone feels as though the Democrats have stopped listening to them and have been yelling at them for the last 10 years.

And just the mere fact that you are probably going to have the knee jerk reaction and call me an ignorant bigot is part of the problem.

Feel all they want, its not true not is what was being discussed actually even happening, but go off

Pre-defending yourself just shows you know you’re full of it

In polls and focus groups, the voters themselves say otherwise.

Idiots thinking that because influencers tell them to feel that way =/= it happening, because it’s not

People are choosing to use those terms and spots for them are being added to things, this isn’t the same as “use them or you’re a bigot” at all and you know it
