nope. Because hatred isn’t reasonable. These people hated “goddamn faggots” back when we could be beaten, imprisoned, even killed with minimal investigation and pretty much impunity. And now they hate us because we can legally marry and they face repercussions if they try a good ol’ poof bash, but boy did they realise there’s a gray area with trans members of the community.
Hate is hate and it’s not our duty to make ourselves small and invisible in case we make dickheads fly off the fucking handle. That’s being complicit in our own abuse.

So your solution to fascism is to… concede to the hatreds of the fascists.
So the Democrats would be different… how then? Dems and Republicans are both bribed to burn society to fuel economic metastasis at all costs, the only thing that separates them at this point are affirmation ribbons you can’t eat, wear, or live in(D), and stoking hatred through scapegoating® on the social policy side.
If the Democrats get on board with the scapegoating, what are we even voting for anymore? The ONLY reason I vote for them is the harm reduction of not preaching hate as they allow mass homelessness, growing wealth inequity, and defend entire market sectors that have become murderous confidence schemes along with their Republican buddies across the aisle.
Your kind of pragmatism is why we have no real opposition party to the Republicans. Your kind of pragmatism has already brought us to hell.
