We really need to leverage democracy more. We should be seeing every single person who is a legitimate (not self-elected) spokesperson or ally of these groups denouncing the nutball types. One person, one vote. If we let the news media decide, the public may think these cretins and those who approve of them are democratically representative rather than just oddball usurpers and psychos.

I don't think they're really trans in the sense that we know transgender people. LeftInTX Aug 2025 #11

Well, eventually it's going to happen. That's a given; history rhymes, after all. haele Aug 2025 #6

I think they might be part of the Zizian Cult LeftInTX Aug 2025 #8

Could be. Radicals and Cultists are the first to typically react during political instability, haele Aug 2025 #9

There is also some weird mental illness involved...or maybe some weird drugs. LeftInTX Aug 2025 #10

I wonder if they're linked to the Zizian doomsday cult? LeftInTX Aug 2025 #7
