Granny may long for 1950 when dark people knew their place, women stayed home, and LGTBQ people hid in the closet but we are not going back. Now is the time for action not despair. Resolve not regret. Fight forward through the sea of bigotry and fear. Be human, stay strong.
Do you consider teaching CRT as the truth and allowing males to play girls' sports "basic human empathy?"

The anti-woke people will die off eventually and the rest of us will move forward.


Not if the 4B movement is successful!

Affirmative action does the exact opposite but you love it.

I don't think for most of us the main objection is the trans advantage in women's sports. I'm a teacher and for several years now we've been counseled against saying boys and girls in favor of more "gender inclusive" language. When visiting colleges with my daughters, the presenters would always begin by announcing their pronouns.

This is the kind of shift that most Americans find deeply troubling and quite frankly inane. This is our society, our culture, what the left is trying to push on us as normal. It's not just conservative that are fed up with this. It's really the norm among the majority although people are reluctant to speak openly about it. I know quite a few left leaning if not liberal people who have grumbled about feeling like they now need to add their pronouns to their work emails. Even my college daughter who is definitely a democrat says she feels like she needs to add her pronouns to her socials even though she thinks it's rather silly. I truly don't think the left realizes how much this stuff has alienated the majority of Americans.






My 75 year old father went to urgent care recently and was so confused when the paperwork asked for his pronouns and his gender identity. He thought “they” was for twins.


so respect and language is the problem??? When you father was born calling people Coloreds and limiting what bathroom they could use was the norm.


Ignore the troll. That didn’t happen. Just had my kid in the ER in DC of all places and that is not a question.


I work in multiple hospitals and it absolutely is a question. Many providers quietly choose not to ask it because the vast majority of patients are either baffled or offended.


Okay, well then let's suffer through a trump presidency because of a confusing question on a form. that makes sense.

Trump can just replace it with some other question that will confuse a 75-year-old because there's kind of a lot of those.


I understand you're angry about this loss, and I understand you think asking for pronouns is inconsequential to the majority and respectful to the minority, BUT mainstream media outlets are admitting that this sort of thing contributed to Trump's win. If you want to reclaim political power you're going to need to examine the reasons you lost it in the first place.

Donald Trump's decisive victory last night marked one of the greatest moments in American history. It was a moment that will be remembered, written about, discussed, and studied centuries from now. It was truly a miraculous moment. To call it miraculous is not to in any way dismiss all of the very real work that was done by so many. It is to underscore that God’s hand can be felt and seen through all of this. It was a result that showed God’s goodness and His mercy. He is giving America another chance. That’s the kind of history that was made.
It was historic not only because Trump achieved a political comeback unlike anything in American history but also because he survived multiple assassination attempts and a relentless campaign of legal attacks aimed at keeping him off the ballot and putting him behind bars.
Donald Trump’s victory marks the day Americans took back control of their country, as he himself said last night. It showed a clear mandate: after years of lies and manipulation from the corporate press, Americans have finally had enough. The media, so-called “national security experts,” and corrupt prosecutors can no longer deceive or bully the public into submission. They can cry “racism” and “fascism” all they want—it doesn’t work anymore. They can’t pretend outrage over a comedian’s joke or push candidates with no real credibility and expect Americans to fall in line.
The media’s power to shape the narrative has collapsed. Their influence, once vast, is now impotent, with them talking only to each other, cut off from the reality that Americans live every day. Trump’s victory didn’t just break through the media’s grip on public opinion; it ended it. There’s no going back.


No one is reading that poorly formatted block of text.

Was this written by a bot or are you just spamming this on different message boards and Reddit? It wouldn't have that garbage format if you had actually typed it into DCUM.
I read it. So you're wrong again. So much losing.

It’s moved well beyond “empathy” when we are asked to allow biological male bodies on our girls’ sports team and into their restrooms.


I'm far more worried about hetero men around me and my daughter than any trans person.

And this is just not happening -men in women's bathrooms and teams- on any significant level. And even it if were, it could be handled to find a solution that wasn't demonizing people and without cruelty. But as usual, MAGA is not capable of that.

Do you never use a unisex bathroom, btw?


It absolutely is happening at a significant level. Look at the boycotts of collegiate women, willing to lose games rather than risk their safety playing against male bodies. Look at the firing of the coaches speaking up for their female players. Look at the two winners of the female boxing category at the Olympics. You can bury your head in the sand or you can open your eyes.



I have college athletes on my own and I've been to countless athletic events in college and elsewhere. This is not a thing. Youth sports, college sports, high school sports. They are rolling along as the billion dollar business that they are . relax


The left always starts with denial before moving to “it’s not happening at all significant level” to “it’s happening and it’s a good thing”.

Tell the San Jose state volleyball team that they didn’t boycott a game for fear of their safety. Tell the coach that she wasn’t suspended - well actually, address the title ix lawsuit she just fired. Her name is Melissa Smoose.

According to the UN report, "Violence Against Women and Girls in Sports," transgender athletes have won around 900 medals in different women's sports at several events, replacing female athletes.


Lucky ass. We've got enough problems locked down that we get to put all our energy into college volleyball. Awesome!.


Complete inability to see how change happens. It's okay if just a few women are discriminated against, right? It's not happening that much? Just volleyball. Don't you see what that signifies? We are so close to eliminating the rights women were provided by Title IX that it's frightening. Those rights are far more at risk than "reproductive rights," but this election and young women on the left have reduced us all to our uteruses. The issues are far greater than a few men in the women's locker room or playing on volleyball teams--but these are the signs and people like you are choosing to ignore them so you can look virtuous. Erasing women is not a virtue.


Get a life. you're putting the entire country through hell over a non-issue


Not PP but this attitude is exactly why you lost the presidency and congress. Telling voters their concerns are a “non issue” is condescending and backfires.


But why don't you go and tell that to my niece who was raped and lost a year of college. Explain to her why this guy has to sit in the oval office and she's struggling to finish college. And there's plenty more like her. Way way more like her than trans athletes that ever stepped out on a field.


So sorry honey and sorry to the several hundred thousand others like you every single year. I know that was really brutal and disorienting and fundamentally altered your life, but San Jose State volleyball is more important. Suck it up Buttercup


What does this niece have to do with the San Jose volleyball players being told to risk their safety playing men?


Let’s see if Trump bans her. We all know she will continue to play and you will seethe. The rich liberals on this board will be talking about their extravagant trips to Europe on their tax savings and doubling home prices in DC while the Republicans continue to get fatter, need more healthcare that they can’t afford, and rage about the transgenders. The truth hurts.


The NCAA has entered an agreement that will basically roll back the clock for female athletes by decades. Biden wants to add men who think they're women into the coverage of this very much endangered law. But sure, go ahead and keep telling us it's just about one young man smashing the heads of female atheletes, so it's okay to just accept it.



Trump is the president in a couple of months. Tell me, when do you expect action on transgenders in sports? Please, by all means, give me a date or at least a time frame because I don’t think Trump is going to do it. I do think that he will give the DCUM crowd tax cuts to buy second homes and third luxury cars (he’s talking about being able to write-off interest on car purchases lol).

Democrats will say you’re a bigot for not wanting men and women to play each other in sports or use the same bathrooms.

It’s common sense why parents or anyone in the public wouldn’t want that. Democrats goal is to erase the natural order of society. They also don’t have a pause button and lack the capability to see outside themselves. People accepted marriage can be same gender because that doesn’t affect anyone’s lives or children but gender free sports and bathrooms has caused major problems for young girls and women. Women deserve the right to their own bodily autonomy and safe spaces

Now you get it. Males playing women's sports IS more important than the environment slowly changing over the next 1000 years. It IS more important than switching over to socialized medicine where wait lists can kill, and it is more important that government controlled food production and all the scarcity that would produce. Thanks for the reminder.

Our very progressive school district (Montgomery County, MD) does both. Many progressive schools districts do. You're either ill-informed or fibbing.

Dems sabotage themselves by not knowing when to stop.

The had a steady flow of illegals, but turned it into a flood. Too much.

They had legal abortion but pushed for late-term abortions & no notification of parents & government funding. Too much.

They had Title IX women’s equality in sports, but pushed for trans participation in women’s sports. Too far.

They got legalized gay marriage, but pushed for drag shows in elementary schools. Too much.

Some Dems are gluttonous progressives that are always going a bridge too far. Finally even many Democrats said “Enough!”


This x 1,000!! I thought “liberalism is a mental disorder” was right wing hyperbole until about 5-7 years ago when stuff like this started to happen.


I’m a moderate Harris voter who knew Trump was going to win and I completely agree. I never believed (in fact laughed at) the liberalism is a mental disorder stuff, and then the last 5-7 years happened. And now I see a kernel of truth in that. Some of y’all crazy crazy.

Dems are already realigning. A few Dem politicians have already denouncing bathroom gender neutrality, and in regards to migrant welfare, NYC has announced they’ll stop the debit card program to illegal immigrants. No more 13,000 dollars in food stamp give always. They know the fed government is going to defund it all in a few months.

Things are already moving quickly and fast. Trump will hopefully end the wars just as fast. You must admit he has a way of getting people in line.

A Harris and Walz administration would’ve been four long years of the Biden administration part 2. Americans do not want that
