I feel like this is giving the GOP too much credit. The “old Republican party” never wanted trans in the military, and given how small the percentage of trans people in the US, I don’t know that it will majorly impact readiness. But even if it would have, would have been an acceptable sacrifice to any time period of republicans. To pretend like the Rs of the past wouldn’t have celebrated this at any time is looking back at the past with opaque rose glasses. It is hallucinating a time that never was.
Meet the new Republicans, same as the old Republicans.
It’s just the mask is off.
Dunno about the conclusion here, the Classic republican were also transphobic pieces of shit. The party being taken over by the (more) openly fascist wing that had always been there didn’t change their opinion much in this particular case. Likewise, the people burning records that mention climate change are the same who brought snowballs to Congress, they just got more upfront about it.
As long as the US military remains capable of projecting force abroad in defense of America’s traditional allies, the US military will be the enemy of the Trump administration.
Hurting LGBT people is fun for the Trumpies, but their overall goal is to wind down America as a world power; and specifically to hand the children of Europe over to Putin’s rape gangs.
To be clear, Putin won’t get far unless France falls to fascism first, because France has nukes and will remember how to use them for things other than offending Kiwis.
It’s been all MAGA since his first term. Y’all been in a coma?
