Most Americans believe that it’s a ā€œproblemā€ that Republicans are transphobic.

A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a ā€œproblemā€ for either party. 44% said that transphobia was ā€œa major problemā€ among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was ā€œa minor problem.ā€ Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.

Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after ā€œhostility toward immigrants.ā€ ā€œTolerance of political violence,ā€ ā€œconspiracy thinking,ā€ ā€œwhite supremacy,ā€ ā€œhomophobia,ā€ and ā€œfascismā€ followed closely behind.

Oddly, 40% of respondents said that ā€œtransgender ideologyā€ was ā€œa major problemā€ for Republicans, and another 20% said it was ā€œa minor problem.ā€ 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.

    Gotta hate someone if you’re a conservative.

    Black people. Hispanic people. Immigrants in general (unless they’re white). Gays. Trans. Furries. Doesn’t matter. And they’ll cycle through them too. Come back around a few years later to one they haven’t focused on in a while.

    Because they lead pathetic lives that aren’t interesting enough, so they have to force themselves on other’s lives.

    Truly, they are wastes of oxygen.

      Conservative mindset is that everything is in a hierarchy, the hierarchy is a Good and Natural thing to exist, and therefore even if you’re not at the top, there Must be someone beneath you. And then trying to make their lives better puts the wrong people in the hierarchy, so they must be stopped. It’s miserably sad I assume.

        You don’t need to assume. It’s pretty obvious how pathetic it is even from the outside.
