Trump and GOP use a fake panic about a "trans" Easter to justify their Christian nationalism (www.salon.com)

It's easy to roll one's eyes as the self-serving dramatics of MAGA voters using false claims of victimhood as cover for their ugly views. But, as the threatening language in Greene's tweet shows, this "woe is us" act is deeply dangerous. The hyperbolic conspiracy theories and dehumanizing language serve to convince Republican voters that religious liberty and democracy are simply values they can no longer afford to hold. The message is Christians are so "under siege" that the only way to fight back is by stripping everyone else of basic rights.

Thank you, i hope your experience can radiate to others so they won't vote for hate. I also hope you find yourself on the other side of your abuse and living your best life. While i'm a trans woman i remember being a boy and my GF abusing me and not having support to get out of it.

It's really scary and lonely feeling. I'm worried she's going to take me for all I got and take the kids. Luckily my friends and family know she's been doing this for years, so they're on my side.

She verbally abused my oldest while I was kicked out telling him "you're just like your f-ing dad" because they were listening to music together, and she didn't like the song he was playing. He told me with tears in his eyes
