> What you're describing is never right and should be dealt with by law enforcement. That's likely far from where many of Republican voters are on this topic.

I mean, sure, even the guy I mentioned doesn't directly say he wants to kill trans people.

But you remove all healthcare and social support for trans people, and they start committing suicide--as anyone would given those conditions. You remove all protections for trans people, and they start getting killed. Republican leadership can keep their hands clean--they just look away and let the fringe do the dirty work. And the same is true for a dozen other groups. For example, there's no real controversy about the homeless (most agree that homelessness is bad)--you just look away and do nothing and they die of homelessness.

All that adds up to that a vote for Republicans is a vote that results in these people dying. Whether your opinion is that those people should die or not, is sort of irrelevant, if your vote results in them dying.

You seem to be under the impression that if a Republican voter feels that trans people deserve to live in their head, that means they aren't voting for trans people to die, but that's simply not the case. If you believe in your head that trans people deserve to live, and then vote for a guy who does a bunch of stuff that kills trans people, you're voting to kill trans people, and your fuzzy kind feelings in your head are irrelevant.

And finally: what country do you live in where trans people can safely call law enforcement? Because it's not the US.
