Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.

Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.

    Still no answer. See, it’s exactly like I said.

    There’s no reason to engage with anything they say, because they’ve proven themselves to be a liar, through and through. Every word they speak is bad faith, and should simply be dismissed and disregarded.

    If you engage with them, they’ll just lie, on every point. They believe that this shitlib is actually going to work for them, which is utterly delusional, but regardless it’s what they believe. So long as they believe that, they have zero reservations about lying to advance their agenda!

    Kick these lying shitlibs to the curb! No support for transphobes! Show them what happens when they abandon our loved ones!

      Show them what happens

      MAGA gets elected?

      If Iowans don’t vote for this guy, this shithead becomes a Senator:

      Protect parents’ rights by giving families a stronger voice in their children’s education and increasing transparency in schools, especially as some Iowa schools have pushed policies that allow kids to secretly change their gender identity at school.

      Hold Communist China accountable for ripping off American jobs and innovation, purchasing American farmland, and implementing unfair trade practices that hurt Iowa farmers, workers, and businesses.

      I feel like at least one of those would be enough for you to say the Dem is better than the MAGA alternative

          What question?

          Why would he say it if he wasn’t talking about trans people? I know you won’t answer, because there is no answer, because we both know exactly what he meant. You’re just going to weasel your way out of it like the utter slime you are.

          I’ve said that already:

          If you agree that transitioning changes gender, then what he says is fine.

          If you don’t agree with that, it sounds “anti-trans”…

          If Fetterman can lie about his whole platform to get elected, why is it such a problem that Turek said the right thing in a way that would depress Republican turnout?

          I’ve explained that multiple times, but everytime I ask who you think should be the Senator, you just start calling me names.

          Hinson is worse than Turek on LGBT issues, everything else, and counts toward a trump friendly senate.

          So who do you think people should vote for?

          An open fascist or the person who you think is secretly a fascist because he said something that you’ve repeatedly said you agree with personally?

            Not remotely an answer to why else he would say it.

            If Fetterman can lie about his whole platform to get elected, why is it such a problem that Turek said the right thing in a way that would depress Republican turnout?

            LMAO! Are you seriously using Fetterman as a positive example?

            That’s right, everybody. Vote for Turek, if you think we need another Fetterman! Fetterman, a perfect example of what happens when you elect a liar.

            What does it even matter what his platform even is, if he’s proven he’ll lie to get ahead? Every word of that platform could easily be lies, because he, like his supporters, lies and backstabs and sells people down the river the moment it’s convenient.

            This is exactly why we need to split from the party and form our own, where we will kick out the Fettermans, the Tureks, the givesomefucks, all these liars and opportunists, and not allow ourselves to be associated with the horrible, toxic, dishonest things that they do and say. Only then will we have a chance and building real solidarity with the people, we cannot do it while associating with their kind.

            I’ve explained that multiple times

            Here we have another lie. Show me where you “explained that” even a single time. You really can’t help yourself, can you?

              No, but you’re clearly going to keep “misunderstanding” things
