Here you are supporting the trans journey of society:
How was I supporting it in that post? I was neither supporting nor condemning it. I was just stating as a fact that society is still trying to figure out the trans issue and what to do with it. The weird thing about you quoting that post is that I was largely agreeing with you. You said:
"I have clearly and repeatedly advocated that children should be left to be kids and decide for themselves once they are capable of making rational decisions"
And I agreed with you. I even agreed with you that the Swedish kindergarten you cited was going too far.
I also in that post said that "I don't think young children should be having gender correction surgery or drugs suppressing puberty".
How does that fit into this straw man narrative you have of me being on "team woke"?
Here you are supporting the mass immigration which occured in Britain
I stand by my quote - I mean, it isn't even an opinion. It's just a fact that migration has been a good thing, economically. What I was talking about in that part of the post was the right wing lie that immigrants come over here and are immediately given a free luxury house and allowed to live on benefits.
Here you are supporting abortion by trivializing fetuses as "clumps of cells"
Which at an early stage of development, it is (by the time it's a fetus it isn't just a clump of cells, for the record). Again, that's not an opinion it's just biology. I didn't express an opinion on abortion in that post, I was responding to the assertion that a clump of cells in the very early stages of development is a "human life who wants to live". It doesn't have a brain, how can it "want" anything?
You have two issues here.
Firstly, you seem to believe that trans, migration and abortion are simple, black and white issues. They aren't, they're all complex.
Secondly, you seem to believe that everyone on the left (I guess I lean more that way, but not that hard) believes the same thing. They don't.
Trump isn't unilaterally making policy decisions on anything.
Yes he is. He's used - misused really - powers which are designed to be used in a state of emergency to make policies on tariffs. The fact those policies are informed by advisors isn't really relevant. (Nice appeal to authority by the way, another one of those you do very selectively). Those people advising him don't make the decision, Trump does. And he's doing it unilaterally. Where was the vote on any of this in Congress? There is a bill going through Congress right now which could stop him doing this - although the Republicans would have to be honest and admit there is no state of emergency, I doubt they have the balls to do it.
I note you ignored the video above which lays out how chaotic this has all been, how Trump has flip-flopped on all this. First saying that tariffs are part of the strategy and here to stay, then denying rumours that they're considering pausing them...then pausing them. Then pretending this was the strategy all along. It's a mess.
Whether you lot technically fit in to the definition of a cult isn't that relevant. You act like a cult member Trump acts like a cult leader.
