Good morning and Happy New Year, Christopher! Add to President Trump’s techno/working class/multi-racial coalition: us ‘normal’ Gays (as VP Vance said to Joe Rogan) pulled the lever for Trump. One morning before the election I was bored and added up all the followers of the MAGA Gay men I follow on X: 2,225,000. I double and triple checked. Yup. 2.25 million!!! We’re all just fed up with the 64 gender woo woo bullshit and the trans Taliban/Davidians who are hijacking our 50+ year movement, twisting and warping our rich history and struggles (there were NO transgenders at Stonewall in June 1969; there were transvestites, a huge difference) just to show America that we are indeed, normal. Only to see these freaks and this thank God only 12 more days Biden administration enable these freaks and no more transing away the Gays starting January 20th. The untold story of the 2024 election which the Human Rights Commission (they blocked me on X after I suggested they change their moniker to the TRC, Trans Rights Commission) dare not mention? Perhaps it was us normal Gays who put Donald Trump/JD Vance over the top! How many more votes than Harris did Trump receive in November? 2.25 million? Hmmm 🤔 Someone tell the HRC (TRC), please just to piss them off.

“These conflicts will be resolved in time. “

Robust debate is how policy is *supposed* to be formulated. It’s a tragedy that blind conformity to the party line and vitriolic ad hominem denigration of political opponents has replaced it. Having policy differences with someone doesn’t automatically make them your mortal enemy.

Trump exemplifies this: he will praise and compliment those across the deal-making table; he knows it’s unhelpful to insult and belittle them and that better deals are reached via good will and warm respect. Sure he sometimes trolls them, but when it comes time to begin negotiations, he stops that and adopts an attitude of courtesy and respect. This confuses many observers, but it is actually very smart.
