Good on AOC for having the guts to not give in to this whirlwind of madness. She's not perfect, but I tend to like most things she does, and if nothing else, I respect her for having the balls to be blunt and honest about a lot of things. It really is just so mindboggling that all of this not only happened in the first place, but everything since has happened so quickly. I mean, we haven't even made 9/11 a national holiday yet, but they're turning his freaking birthday into one? Has anyone who's ever been assassinated been made into a deity this quickly before? I feel like Lincoln, JFK, MLK, Milk, etc. all got a grace period, and even then, they weren't looked upon as highly as this clown.
God, it's just one battle after another with these people. Never a moment's rest. I always have, and always will vehemently fight for all my trans friends and family members. Doesn't matter who comes for them or how close I previously was- you fuck with them, you're out. They're some of the most friendly, welcoming people I've ever met, and my life is undoubtedly better off for it. It disgusts me, how some folks, just so they can feel powerful, will pick on the smallest group of people who only want to live their lives happily in their own bodies and not harm anyone. Doing so doesn't make you brave or righteous, it makes you a rotten-hearted, sour-souled, stink-brained sack of vaguely anthropomorphic shit. And you can take that to the bank.
