Donald Trump Jr.: "Trans People Are More Dangerous Than al Qaeda". That's Trump and MAGA turning the heat down.

Someone take Jr's cocaine away.

Didn’t someone throw it out the window a few days ago?

Jr would never allow cocaine to be thrown out a window.

Can I offer a theory of an explanation. View their 'politics' as a way for them to make money, and getting people to support them as how they get political power, and their main method to get that support is demagoguery spreading hate. For them, "transgender people want to kill you" is analogous to a car salesman saying "this is a great car". It's just "marketing" to benefit themselves. Same thing with Mexican immigrants.

For sure. They are actively channeling deeper into the white grievance politics they originally tapped into.

People that didn't do anything to him except for exist.

And MAGAs will cheer this and make excuses for this and justify this.

But give him and his papa credit for one thing. They know which people to attack so that the party of Christianity approves.



"On the anniversary of 9/11, Donald Trump Jr. unleashed a stinging rebuke of transgender people that compared them to the terrorists who committed the attacks.

“I can’t name, including probably like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, a group that is more violent per capita than the radical trans moment,” the president’s son said during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show on Thursday.

...

He expanded on that claim on Thursday, telling Kelly that “it feels like [trans people] have done practically every mass shooting in America for the last few years.”

Data from the Gun Violence Archive, which has been tracking mass shootings since 2013, found in 2023 that 0.1% of cases involved a transgender person. Several other archives have reported that somewhere between 96% and 98% of mass shootings have been committed by cisgender men since tracking began."

There needs to be someone to hate.

Well, technically, he's right. Al-Qaeda hasn't been much of an issue lately in the US while trans people have been more of an issue.

 

[Craig234]

Fair enough.

I appreciate your idealism to think a president should not be the monster trump is, but think unfortunately, it's not justified, and more helpful to recognize it. We need national defense of our values, and while people think trump can be reasoned with about that, it helps him attack them. I'd think it's better to appeal to people to reject the hate speech. Otherwise, his plan to turn the US into a mob for him is effective.

Don Jr is just mad because he learned that his father does send b-day cards.

 

[Craig234]

They're an easy target because they don't have national organizations or representation to pushback. So idiots like the Trump pillocks pick on those who cannot fight back in true bully form.

Roy Cohn gave trump a playbook, and one technique was to find a group that is weak to attack. It is a direct analogy to Hitler and other demagogues. It's the opposite of liberal values to support justice, fairness, respect for people.

Well, technically, it's young straight males that are a much bigger issue.

I'm not surprised he left those guys out though. It doesn't stir the loins of MAGA.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Well, technically, he's right.

He isn't. Al-Qaeda's been actively launching attacks in Africa where hundreds have been killed.

Al-Qaeda hasn't been much of an issue lately in the US while trans people have been more of an issue.

In the US no, but that was after killing 3,000+ people. Trans people have not been "more of an issue" by any stretch of the imagination comparatively. I didn't think anyone would think this nugget of idiocy would be parroted by anyone until now.

Based on what? Are you unaware that there have been 3561 mass shootings since 2016 and only 0.11% have been perpetrated by someone who is not cisgender? Are you unaware that transgender people over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime?

Using the Gun Violence Archive, and a definition for mass shooting meaning “at least four gun injuries,” there have been 3,561 mass shootings since the beginning of 2016.

Laura Dugan, a professor of human security and sociology at Ohio State University, said the four widely cited examples out of the 3,561 shootings translates to 0.11% being perpetrated by someone who is not cisgender — a very low number relative to the number of mass shootings total.

FACT FOCUS: No 'incredible rise' in transgender shooters

Moments after the assailant who killed six people at a Nashville private school was identified as transgender, a baseless narrative emerged that there has been an incredible rise in transgender or nonbinary mass shooters in recent years. Specific data on transgender and nonbinary mass shooters...

Do you actually believe that most mass shootings are perpetrated by transgender people, as has been falsely claimed repeatedly by conservatives/MAGA on this board and in the media? I just can't wrap my head around how so many people can believe something that's so blatantly false. Do people even attempt to verify this nonsense before they start repeating it?
