Somehow, wanting trans people to have equal rights is the same as open fascism.

He was almost completely off the mark with his criticisms of the “left” and was just doing culture war nonsense using right wing talking points. The insistence that children are given unrestricted transition surgery is just a flat out lie. A “zombie” lie as he calls them.

Even the things where you might say “well yeah, that’s a little silly” pale in comparison to becoming a fascist police state.

So yeah, his criticism of what this administration is doing is right but weighing it as equal against recognizing trans people or drawing attention to the genocide in Gaza is ridiculous.
