(2016/04/05) Understanding the 2016 election conservative wedge issue (Trans Rights) - a podcast by BestOfTheLeft.com

from 2016-04-05T23:00

:: ::

Edition #1004


Today we take a look at the hate-mongering conservative, fright fest issue du jour, trans people being allowed to use public restrooms without harassment. Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hate and ignorance, fear and hatred lead to voting for Republicans. That’s been their strategy for decades: exploiting fear of black people, brown people, drugs, gay people and now trans people.They’re always wrong about what they fear but that’s never stopped them before and it isn’t stopping them now.
