Immediately after taking office, the 47th president signed an executive order decreeing that it's now the "policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Trump has also signed executive orders blocking people under the age of 19 from access to gender-affirming care, banning trans women from competing in women's sports, and forbidding trans people from serving in the military.

Several of these actions, among others, are under some level of federal review. But as judges weigh the legality and scientific accuracy of the orders, the message is loud and clear: the Trump White House thinks there's something wrong with trans people, and will do anything possible to make their lives more difficult.

All to say, it feels very unlikely that the current president's vision for Trump Gaza would include provocatively dancing seaside xaddies rocking long beards and midriff-revealing bikinis and skirts.

But here we are, and to that end, the dancing figures' inclusion in the promotional video raises unfortunate questions.

It's a mentally ill fascist death cult, firmly rooted in Christian evangelism. He can't do anything to diminish the support of the brainwashed base.

Christian evangelism

It seems their plan is to commit so much evil that it provokes God into action to bring on the apocalypse

It's seems the powers that be know that climate change can serve as a wrath of God-like scapegoat and they're all but accelerating a push to move most trade to be controlled by US/Russia (+ Greenland + Canada) via the arctic sea, and choke any ability for countries to trade any other way by co trolling the Panama canal.

I am not an expert, I am an armchair nobody. Am I crazy or is this just plain as fucking day?

It’s plain as fucking day. I’m also a nobody. But anyone who reads a lot and pays attention for last decade or two can see where this is going.

Sad that Christians have decided to side with evil.

Sad and completely fucking predictable

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because all Christians are evangelical Trump supporters?

Christianity it a pretty diverse group

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

It's because of the Christian support that the GOP is targeting abortion and lgbtq rights.

Wow, Trump’s Gaza is more inclusive than Trump’s America

This is called Pink Washing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT)

Its a common tactic of the Zionist State to try to wash their ethnic cleansing

Morbid yet true

How am I to read "xaddies"? Is this a gender-neutral "daddies"? A gen-z "baddies"?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I read it as, “That’s enough internet today I should go outside and let the woods embrace me”.
