This 100%. It’s the only demographic that can do any heavy lifting if we’re talking raw manpower, and they’re currently being heavily courted by fascists and death cults. That tide needs to turn.

Part of the issue is that everyone I know that wants to do something is scared of doing something because they’re terrified that it’s going to place targets on vulnerable members of their larger communities. A lot of trans people, black and brown people, disabled people, immigrants, and indigenous folks I know what to DO something. They’re just scared that if they do, then it’s going to only accelerate violence against their marginalized communities and the greater population isn’t going to fight for them.
Nothing is going to happen until we weaponize the cishet white dudes and get them on our side.
