They needed an “other” to reunify the fundamentalist Christian bloc against, since abortion isn’t seen by them as much of an issue these days to motivate their voters.

And since they lost the battle of the 80s, 90s, and 00s against openly gay people and society is rapidly becoming more accepting of gay marriage, they had to shift their targets. Trans folks are an easy target because they seem so different and hard to understand. Surgeries, hormone treatments, bathrooms… Obviously interfering with ‘gods biological plan’ for themselves etc etc.

It’s sickening. And once society manages to begin clearing the trans hurdle they will find another minority to target.

Yeah, and to exploit it you need ring0 access in the kernel.

In other words, this isn’t an attack vector, it’s an escalation path. It escalates past the kernel, which is terrible to be sure, but if a hacker manages to get that deep in the first place, your system is already fucked.
