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.

    Conservatives don’t cancel, in their minds, because being cancelled is inherently unjust according to them. It’s unjust because it pretty much only happens to them as they’re the ones doing heinous shit to people, and they don’t pay attention when someone who isn’t openly conservative gets cancelled for bad behaviour.

    They live in the alternate relaity built for them by their media and they lack the ability to pause when they hear something a little crazy and check it out.
