And yet you're still griping because Ken Jennings of all people isn't anti-trans enough for you.
Well, look. You're clearly griping about this post existing at all. It has to have something you don't want anyone else to read, or you would just downvote and move on. Instead, you decided to whine about it.
You're expending a lot of energy for something you allegedly don't care about, and it's clear that you just don't want others to care about it. And since the thing you totally don't care about is Jennings saying that he doesn't like newsom because newsom decided that trans people belong under the bus, what other conclusion should I draw?
Please, stalk my comment history some more if it makes you feel superior to those who don't hate trans people enough for your liking.
Gaslighting is abuse and you should stop.
Dude, you just spent a huge post saying I'm mentally ill because I disagree with your anti-trans whining about Ken Jennings. No matter how you slice it, that's gaslighting.
Everyone can scroll up and see the comment in which you repeatedly called me mentally ill. You're doubling down on the gaslighting.
And after two bouts of gaslighting, we have progressed to DARVO. I haven't said that your disagreement with me is due to mental illness, because I don't believe it is. I believe your motives aren't the ones you've stated, as your behavior is inconsistent with the motives you've stated. Making a big hairy deal about not caring isn't something that someone who actually doesn't care does.You're still expending a lot of energy in a thread about an interview with a minor celebrity that you don't care about.
If you want me to directly interact with your arguments, you should have made one in the first place.
Meanwhile, at least one person who didn't know before has found out that newsom is willing to throw trans people under the bus in order to appear accommodating to a right-wing bigot that newsom invited on his own podcast. That's a win in my book. The more people know what a piece of shit newsom is willing to be, the fewer will support him and maybe we'll get a candidate worth supporting instead.
If you don't care, why are you still bothering with this thread? Why didn't you just downvote and move on instead of whining about it? Your behavior is at odds with your claims, and more consistent with someone who doesn't like people criticizing newsom.
At least one person in this thread found out from the article that newsom threw trans people under the bus. It was news to them.
I won't apologize that a minor celebrity showing solidarity with a vulnerable minority upsets you.
I don't like it when people whine about the presence of solidarity instead of its absence.
Until some other minor celebrity maliciously likes trans people at you.
