Ok maybe I’m missing something but scumbag Stephen Miller didn’t really say anything contentious or bad? I’m sure he meant it disparagingly but wouldn’t a more effective response be something like “thanks for acknowledging this positive step towards inclusivity!” ? Idk
James Talarico is a cis man. Not trans. Stephen Miller was intending to A) suggest that he looks like a biological woman dressing as a man, meant to be an macho insult, and B) probably mislead Trump's idiot base into actually believing that to be true so they automatically hate him. Stephen Miller is a literal nazi in all but (maybe) name, and he hates anyone that is not white, not straight, not cis, not biologically male, or not pro fascism. If you are any of those things, he believes suggesting that you are other of those things to be inherently an insult. Whether or not you consider being trans bad, he does, and so him saying it is still an insult, particularly where it's not remotely true.
Talarico is not trans though
Ohhh ok yea there it is. Sorry, not American.
Me too, but I also watch an unhealthy amount of videos on Youtube about American politics.
Except it's not true.
calling talarico a trans man, and vegan is pretty bigotted.
I wish the Democrats replied "Talarico isn't that cool"
I don't think Talarico is cool in general. He seems like a pretty campy christian dude with decent morals and a good attitude. But the bar is set really damn low. Compared to the alternative, Ken Paxton, he's LL fucking Cool J. That evil moron has done more damage to the integrity and trust in our election system than most, and worked constantly to thwart good policy making under Biden. Talarico. May not be exciting, exactly, but he's young, he's more progressive than the establishment, and Ken Paxton doesn't need to be in any office, let alone a federal one.
The fact that he's not cool, or trying to be, is his strength. He comes off like a sincere, decent, honest person, with good faith intentions. I'll vote for that over a proven scumbag like Paxton.
What's the logic? Talarico seems to good to be true, he must be hiding something, with no evidence of that at all. So the better alternative is Paxton, a guy who is absolutely proven to be one of the most corrupt politicians in America, right up there with the very worst of the worst.
But yeah, Talarico might be hiding something, so vote for the known criminal.
