People also hate Elon Musk and it has been demonstrated that his money doesn't move the needle when people know it's him. Talarico would have been better off doubling down on trans rights just to neutralize Musk's billions.

Maybe he did think that simultaneously (a) Musk's opinion of him was important enough on the national stage to matter and (b) that licking Musk's boot would help him in any way. Massive fuckup in both points. Of course Musk was going to stab him in the back. Because he is a scorpion.

Yeah, that was my other thought. I hope he kicked every one of them in the junk, personally.

I'm so sick of the use trans bullshit, not just because it is mean/wrong to trans people but because it is so insulting for them to think anyone is going to believe them. Only dumbass MAGAs believe this shit. You don't get the other 60-70% of the population, fool.

„I’m making only sons” “Oops you didn’t motherfucker”

paternalism can be awful in just so many directions

He can change his public position, but he can't go back to the point in time where anyone can believe he means anything he says. Whether he is for or against trans rights, you have to consider the possibility he's lying for political advantage. Same on any other subject actually.

Exactly! It's such bad strategy in addition to being moral cowardice.

time for him to evolve on the issue like a pokemon

Well… All right. I guess even if he can no longer take a position on any issue and expect anyone to believe him, he can still do this. bsky.app/profile/jame... That's good. That is a legitimately good thing. This is not "snark" by me. That is a good message and he should lean into it further.
