     How wildly successful anti-trans ads fired up Texas' Republican voters
     https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/08/transgender-ads-motivate-texas-republicans

     * barrage of attack ads focused on trans kids playing youth sports
     * Democrats struggled to respond
     * fact that Texas’ senate candidates argued about youth sports, rather than economy, immigration, future of democracy was a Republican victory

     Comment: that's the plan; former go viral on social media amplifying the hate; latter ignored, weak reactionary responses

     It's not just that he promoted anti-trans rhetoric. He made clear promises. Not just his off the cuff, stream of consciousness stuff, but actual position statements still up on his campaign site.

     The gist of it is a culmination of all the worst anti-trans laws so far. Banning trans health care for all ages, prosecuting providers and prohibiting legal transition - including reverting ID's & BC's regardless of how long ago someone had them changed.

     Mean while, Matt Gaetz was sexually assaulting anything under 20 with a vagina. Lest we forget all the times house Republicans violated national security while in Congress. Evil shits.

     CNN:

     These are the world’s happiest countries in 2024

     1. Finland

     2. Denmark

     3. Iceland

     The United States drops out of the top 20

     In Denmark you find a lot of unisex bathrooms. Are happy people less divisive? Or does less division make people happy?
