gay and poor black people fight back, they want to target a vulnerable minority group that hasn't been able to fight back yet. as soon as gay and poor black people stop fighting back, they'll be back on the menu.

This is getting to be a very frustrating conversation where each time I ask "OK why have trans people been added" everyone claims to be living in some alternate universe where the Republican party is now nice to black people and gay people and are claiming they've had to switch to trans people because blacks and gays are just too popular.
I'm glad for you that you live in this alternate universe where there you're not seeing racist and homophobic (and sexist) motivated mass shootings in Orlando every few months. I love that in your alternate universe the Republicans are not trying to suppress the black vote and haven't put up blockers to prevent, for example, constitutional amendments aimed at dealing with Jim Crow laws from being effective.
I'd love to fucking live there! Really I would!

On Earth One, they haven't. Glad to hear that isn't the case in your universe though and the other people responding to me.
