Most Americans believe that it’s a “problem” that Republicans are transphobic.

A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a “problem” for either party. 44% said that transphobia was “a major problem” among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was “a minor problem.” Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.

Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after “hostility toward immigrants.” “Tolerance of political violence,” “conspiracy thinking,” “white supremacy,” “homophobia,” and “fascism” followed closely behind.

Oddly, 40% of respondents said that “transgender ideology” was “a major problem” for Republicans, and another 20% said it was “a minor problem.” 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.

    Are you saying we should ignore that?

    This is

    “I like waffles.”
    “Are you saying you hate pancakes?”

    -tier discourse.

    There is a wide spectrum between being obsessed with X and ignoring X.

      Ever heard of TDS? Because I feel like that’s what that person was implying.
