Where's the evidence he was? You're talking about his family but I want evidence he is maga before I can relax. He was registered to vote but not as a Republican and there's stories going around that he's in a relationship with a trans woman? That doesn't sound maga. But then again they're not really an internally consistent group and it wouldn't be the first time news outlets ran with fake trans stories so nothing I've heard is conclusive.

Do you actually have any evidence?

    Lots of MAGA people date trans actually. We really don’t know anything concrete about his views or why he did this and people need to accept that.

    I'm sure it happens but given the anti trans rhetoric of the right it is more uncommon. Agreed though we just don't know anything reliable yet. I think speculating is fine too as long as it's not framed as anything but speculating

    Well, I don’t have direct experience but I’ve heard from some trans women that some conservative men have an obsession with them exactly because it is transgressive. So I’m not sure if it is more or less uncommon.

    The trans roommate thing is a hoax. The right is just desperate to pin this on trans people so they can further their genocide

    Yeah I'm leaning hoax as well but that's kinda the point of the conversation right? Don't jump to conclusions this early on, there's not a lot of evidence yet and it's very far from reliable

    Don't disregard all evidence just because one side is actively trying to deflect blame. That's what they want you to do. Yes you should always be critical and double check sources, but they're purposefully trying to muddle the waters and cast a shadow of a doubt for cover

    That's how fascism thrives. MLK warned about complacency

    E: typo

    What? You're saying don't disregard it and disregard it at the same time lol. I would hope it's obvious you should skeptically consider all evidence

    You ignoring the evidence put forward doesn't make it not exist. Do better.

    I'm asking you for the evidence. Did I overlook something?

    You should know that Lemmy is generally a misinformation factory, there’s real people interacting all over the place but there are so so so many bad faith actors here that you should basically take anything said here as a biased statement.

    Trust yourself and seek reputable sources
