this is one of my least favourite braindead talking points that centrists on here have latched onto. being trans isn’t the same calculus as black people made working with LBJ because he was passing civil rights bills and turek wants to take away the healthcare we already have
LBJ worked with avowed racists and was slinging slurs every day and he passed the Civil & Voting Rights acts. Sometimes, you gotta talk a little differently than you’ll act.

very funny sequence: >"Making fun of Cheesecake Factory is for Cosmopolitan Globalist Snobs" >"Saddam Hussein + Cheesecake Factory joke is orientalist" >"Cheesecake Factory itself was founded by white cosmopolitan Sufi larpers and its design has orientalist elements"

Stop understating this. A trans Hyde Amendment is less like denouncing gay marriage in 2006 and more like denouncing antiretroviral therapy for HIV patients in 2006.
If this was 2006 Josh Turek would be taking about defending traditional marriage. If this was 1956 Josh Turek would be talking about keeping white and black kids to their own spaces. He would be just as spineless in any era, it’s how he is. Nobody’s free until everybody’s free

i think it's rational to let go of "Vote Blue No Matter Who" when a candidate spends a ton of money airing the "Fuck you! and your friends!" commercial you see, it was never going to end with conceding on sports
#IAPol: "No Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules. It's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too." Josh Turek is up with a new #IASen ad. Future reservations: πŸ”΅$18.0M πŸ”΄$15.5M

the angry replies to a neutral analysis like this reveal the central problem at play for trans people in the party: they can attack us as much as they want to appeal to swing voters, but us not voting for them in response is illegitimate. we are not allowed to do politics.
This is a very risky ad IMO. Turek cannot afford to have any significant number of Democratic base voters leave the Senate line blank. #IASen

i grew up somewhere with a public library situated in a building that was itself decorated/landscaped remarkably like a rainforest cafe and honestly my lifelong bookworminess is probably ~7% attributable to this
next president should redecorate the white house like rainforest cafe

americana is when brand
The coastal elites hate Americana. We know what they really think, and we know why they are so quickly defending Obama’s snobbery. They might think they are β€œtoo good” for the Cheesecake Factory, or find the decor to be tacky, but most regular Americans don’t

imagine if a blue state republican had an ad saying β€˜I’m the gay rights candidate. that’s me, the lgbt rights candidate. I PROMISE to vote for gay marriage & trans rights’. would people who care strongly about that issue then vote for the republican? that’s how stupid this looks
#IowaSenate AdImpact: Josh Turek releases new ad in which he opposes trans women competing in women’s sports β€œNo Iowan should face discrimination. As a Paralympian, I also know it's important to have rules.” β€œIt's why I oppose males competing in female sports ... I'm against taxpayers paying for sex changes, too.”
