They were hammering Talarico in Texas, claiming he was a vegetarian, like it's an awful thing and made him less than a man. He did a commercial eating brisket or something.

Now the anti-Talarico ads running in TX are suggesting he’s a woke communist because he dares to give dignity to human beings who happen to be trans. Culture wars are all they’ve got, I just pray the voting public is tired of it by now and sees through it.

And the people they're targeting in those campaign ads have likely never known if they've been in the presence of a trans person. They live out in the country and surround themselves with like-minded bigots. Trans people to them are the boogey man hiding under their bed.

First time I met a trans person and knew it was while visiting a friend in Texas in the 00s. I recall being totally sloshed on everclear and asking my friend "Yo why you keep calling that dude Ashley?"

Even very drunk, it wasn't confusing once it was explained. Which is good, because the 3yo cousin who was always playing with my jewelry box instead of their own boy toys made some shoulda-been-obvious announcements as an adult. Like the youngest cousin laughed at me when I explained that the adults used to think the eldest was a boy, because duh she's not a boy and it's really obvious.

It's funny how folks just "clock" a certain way regardless of presentation. Another of my cousins is nowhere near out of the closet yet, but still "clocks as" what they really are, to the point I've had to explain to friends why that cousin has a boy name when they're so clearly a girl.

That’s all the republicans can do . They have nothing but bullshit to run on . They created the asshole in office , who has always been a piece of shit

It's crazy to me the amount of money the Republican party spends to talk about trans people

[u/certifiednerdgirl → u/Other-Importance-214]

He quit doing that when fox news called him out on it. Folded like a cheap lawn chair. Gotta get that mythical voter who would have voted for the Dem if only they were mean enough to the transies.

Exactly this is the same party that had a meltdown years ago when AOC talked about the green New Deal claiming they wanted to turn all our children into vegetarians are now going to tell us that we should be vegetarians because meat is just too expensive for us peasants.

as a former texan, i like talarico and i get where his campaign team is coming from, but it's so damn annoying listening to him parrot the rehearsed line about his whole family's from texas and he loves brisket. gotta do what you gotta do though. if anything it makes me hate his opposition even more because he spends more time countering their weird unfounded "masculinity" attacks rather than y'know, talking policy.

[u/pocketjacks → u/Individual_Ad9135]

Yeah, but it's manly when you do it in service of Trump, like Marco wearing heels or Ted Cruz not defending his wife.

I constantly have political spam texts that say he is a pedophile
