    Imagine being so ready to blame a marginalized or oppressed group for anything you can that you don’t even check to see if the person you are blaming for piloting a helicopter in a crash with no survivors is alive or not. Just baffling.

      For the conservative the problem is that a trans Helo pilot exists.

      In their mind, a trans person is mentally unfit. Therefore holding a officer’s rank and pilot wings must be unearned. The catastrophe of a trans issuing orders to a het-cis is more outrageous than a few dozen deaths.

      Oh and the actual pilot was a woman so the DEI argument hasn’t be defeated, just shifted.

    If anyone needs proof that conservatives are so befuddled by reality they’ll just make shit up to fit a convenient narrative this story is it. They’re blaming a living transgendered pilot for a helicopter/plane crash that had no survivors.

    This story is definitive proof that the reason why Donald Trump won the election is because many Americans are so fucking unbelievably stupid they can’t tell the difference between a living person and a pile of ash and debris. They’ll believe fucking anything if it fits the narrative in their head or it’s said by their sacred, worshipped authority figure.
