Nah, it didn't happen. If you went to Asia recently you would still be on the toilet with diarrhea after eating at their restaurants with no sanitation. When I was in China, I totally saw people doing dishes on the sidewalk in the street, and rodents running around the dining rooms.

Yeah, that did not happen. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

But please feel free to travel to Schenzhen or Shanghai, or Seoul or Tokyo and report back on how terribly backwards Asia is

Trans people aren't even 1% of America, it's a non issue. But all of the MAGA boomer stupidity is seriously holding America back. We need universal healthcare, we need renewable energy, high speed mass transit and all the rest. But we can't because MAGA is having a meltdown over stupid stuff like trans that helps the nation and economy in no way whatsoever.

If trans is such a non issue then maybe stop dragging it along.

It’s the weirdo MAGAs that have the infatuation. We’ve even seen the data. You ahead and take a peek at the states and cities that are viewing trans porn. It’s not blue areas

This makes no sense

The same party that supports trans in general supports trains

Now, as someone who deals with urbanist policy, I do know that the most vociferous trans advocates also support “everything bagel liberalism” that kills mass transit in the us In practice…

…but in general, being pro trans also maps with being pro trains

The anti trans people are absolutely anti trains

I don’t like the urbanism bros. They are out of touch people who think everyone should bike to work and eat vegan diets.

It's the GOP doing all the dragging along, hon. They are the ones pushing legislation right and left.

There's like 8 of you making a big deal about it just on this thread.

Trans is just the tip of the spear of ridiculousness that our country has become. Deny it all you want, but its why the young look elsewhere. All your pronouns, and land-acknowledgements, and tearing down statues and renaming things after the most mediocre of people has just absolutely turned people off. You've told people this isn't their country anymore, and they've reacted appropriately.

Nope. There's no "like 8 of you"
And it's you making a big deal of it. Nobody on the left even brought it up, it was one of yours, with "China makes trains, America makes trans" BS.

The deranged right wing is utterly and completely obsessed with transpeople.

Some facts:
The right wing has literally tried pushing hundreds of anti-trans bills in state and federal legislatures. 616 per ACLU in 2025 alone https://www.aclu.org/legislative-attacks-on-lgbtq-rights-2025
Were there hundreds of pro-trans bills pushed by Democrats in 2025? NOPE. Not even remotely. In fact I can't even think of a single one.

We have a lot of other far more important things to legislate on, like healthcare and the economy. But instead MAGA morons clog the system with obsessive trans derangement.

Or you could read the article cited in the OP and realize this isn’t true.

China maxxing is just the latest Tik Tok cosplay thing. Blink and they'll all be on to something else.

It’s pretty clear America lost the Mandate of Heaven. How quickly the world changed without any noticing.

It wasn’t that long ago China was known for shoddy construction and industrial accidents. Now they are the envy of the world.

Hopefully some future Gibbons will write a book about our fall that does it justice.
