Ok.
Here is my point.
When you say they ARE groomers, by implication you say they are ALL groomers.

Now, staticially, it's MORE true that church youth pastors are groomers. by FAAAAAAAAAAAR.

And yet I would never ever EVER hear you call those people groomers.

When you BELIEVE they are all groomers and you don't qualify statements, of COURSE they are going to feel like a victim. You unjustly labelled them something that they are not. You spoke falsely against them and you told a mistruth about them.

Again, victimhood doesn't appear in a vaccuum.
I would say there are Catholic priests who are groomers too.

Like I said we all get broad brushed and we shouldnt have to qualify "well. Not all but some" everytime we mentikn some group. Or list some sort of percentage. And its not just trans people who are grooming on social media. Its also transactivists (who may or may not be trans) including medical professionals, and educators too.

Stop with the whiny victimhood stuff. And I never once said all trans people are groomers.

Just like you can say
"there are cis-people who are groomers. Mostly on social platforms".
"there are cooks who are groomers. Mostly on social platforms".
"there are taxi drivers who are groomers. Mostly on social platforms".
"there are violin players who are groomers. Mostly on social platforms".

and so on.
Your statement is either meaningless or an attempt at smearing trans-people with just that little nuance to be able to deny the smear.
Is it true? Yes there are trans people who are grooming kids, trying to encourage them to be or pursue being trans.

And id like to see a violinist who is doing that. That would be interesting.

No its typically trans people, transactivists (who may or may not be trans) who have been grooming kids. Like educators and medical professionals.

She said Ling had spent months grooming her ahead of the initial assault.


According to court records, Shipps traveled the country with the girl as part of a music program, and used his time alone with her to coerce her into a sexual relationship, buying her gifts, telling her that he loved her, and that this was their "little secret."

I dont believe the violinist was grooming a kid to be trans. That was for sex, which all kinds of people from all kinds of ways of life have done.

I have never once accused any trans person of grooming a kid for sex.

Leave the farms and meat plants alone, ICE. Go straight to the blue states and their cities full of people who waved cruel signs about me.

Also this is totally not weaponizing the federal government for political reasons.

So this whole thing was a protest to protest against illegal immigration enforcement? Why didn't they call it No ICE? At least that would make more sense.

If you mean the "No Kings" protest, no, it was not to protest against illegal immigration per se. Rather, it was a rejection of Trump's authoritarnian over reach. The protest was planned months ago.

Aww, Stephen Miller must have thrown a tantrum.

L.A. was only the first round of provocative ICE operations intended to trigger protest....and attention on Trump.

LOL.

This take is pretty silly.
A sillier thing is that an organization named "Democrats Abroad" organized an extension rally in Canada, but had to rename the event to "No Tyrants" after neglecting to remember that Canada still technically reports to a Monarch.


The organizers, led by Democrats Abroad, also organized solidarity protests internationally. Because many countries have monarchs as heads of state, these events were labeled as "No Tyrants" demonstrations,[26] with the message of "We reject authoritarianism. We reject fear. We reject tyrants."[26]

Well thats even dumber since Trump isnt a king and doesn't have authority of a king and hasnt done king things. Sounds like dumb rhetoric.

How is that silly? It turns out actual monarchs are far less tyrannical than our elected president who should be bound by the constitution. That’s not silly. It’s incredibly depressing.

Too bad they had to pay people to show up.
You think someone paid over 5 million people to go protest?

Is that because you can’t ever see yourself standing for something unless you were paid for it?

Then why call it "No Kings"?

This ties in with what I mentioned earlier, which is that they're perfectly comfortable with authoritarianism provided it aligns with their viewpoints.

Trump has ordered into the field a force of paramilitary police for the purpose, which he clearly stated, of "liberating the country from socialism." Noem has reiterated that purpose and had a press conference to explain her plans for carrying it out. (you might remember hearing something in the news about that press conference). I don't remember any Democratic President mobilizing federal agents against capitalism.

True, but I remember that McCarthyism included more than a few democrats.

He is trying to end birthright citizenship through EO.
A King would just declare a royal decree and it would be law. Unless you are claiming EOs are law and that the president has the authority to change law by EO. Is that your claim? If not then we obviously have no king.
