    apologies for not memeing on this, but the parallel that immediately comes to mind is when Kavanaugh was getting confirmed, he said that Roe v Wade was “settled law”. she is absolutely going to enact some anti-trans bullshit.

      I genuinely believe she won’t enact anti-trans bullshit herself, at the executive level.

      However, what she will do - and frankly this is maybe more destructive - is allow every state to make their own anti-trans laws without any pushback from the federal government. Texas will ban and gender affirming care for people under 26 (this is an idea that’s already been floated since “your brain isn’t fully developed until your mid 20s”) and Kamala won’t do shit to stop it.

        Yeah. Divide and Rule. At least a year ago Erin in the Morning estimated (guesstimated?) There were at least 250,000 internally displaced refugees in the us specifically fleeing anti-trans legal pogroms. The “Colorado Natives” (anti-cracker-aktion ) love to whine about all the Texas license plates here without a single thought about who would be fleeing texas to the only reliably blue stronghold in the region.
