In a contentious and misleading post on social media, JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, launched an attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Vance falsely accused Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif of being transgender, causing widespread condemnation and backlash from human rights advocates.

    I can’t believe how terribly this is going for the Republicans. They can’t stop themselves self.

    Or it’s just the lemmy bubble and nobody cares? But project 25 that they are failing to distance themselves from like they are stone drunk in front of an officer, the cat lady thing, defense against people calling them weird,…

      To quote the Today, Explained podcast’s intro to their episode about Project 2025:

          Wouldn’t surprise me tbh. The stereotypical Republican voter isn’t known for reading 900+ pages of ANYTHING, let alone policy and strategy proposals 😄

            The tend to like the Sparks Notes Jesus who was born and then immediately killed off. There’s a whole lot of “liberal talking points” in between those two events and it’s just easier to pretend those parts doesn’t exist.

      The “weird” thing is so hilarious, they absolutely hate it and their only defense is “but drag queens.” They’re so fucking obsessed with LGBQT+ and can’t pivot away from it even as you make them look weirder and weirder.
