General Discussion

I believe we're in the diminishing returns phase of this particular cultural attack. This is absolutely not to diminish the increasing injustices that the GOP has continued to inflict on trans people via legislation -- that is a real problem. But as an effective political attack, I think this peaked in 2024.

Many low-info voters were bamboozled by the GOP's relentless attacks on trans people during the 2024 election, and voted accordingly. Those same low-info voters are now a year and a half into Trump's second term, and they are struggling with rising inflation and higher costs of living, a huge jump in gas prices, a masked Gestapo roaming the country brutalizing innocent people, and a pointless war in Iran that nobody asked for. Meanwhile, Trump is old, tired, deranged, and clearly not up to the task of leading the country anywhere good.

Voters are going to be looking for change this year, and IMO, the stale, warmed-over bigotry that Miller is dabbling in here is going to be mostly ignored, because right now most cis people have far bigger problems going on in their lives than worrying about the imaginary threat of trans people.
