Dudes go and volunteer to die for their countries and the higher ups think that they should filter that? "You wanna do a job most people hate and is very dangerous? Let me see your genitals first!"

It's no coincidence that Republicans hate the same people that the original Nazis did.

Reactionaries always pick sexual, racial, & religious minorities and leftists as their targets.

President Musk did his Nazi salute to signal to far-right groups that they can start dropping the euphemisms, and the fascist Republican party loves him for it.

Phase 1 is to remove “undesirables” from the military.

Phase 2 will be to use the military to remove “undesirables” from society.

Yeah, Trump already started packing the military leadership with loyalists. His goal is to install a bunch of people who won’t tell him “no” when he orders them to do a bunch of blatantly unconstitutional bullshit. Soldiers are supposed to refuse illegal orders, which is why he’s trying to get loyalists installed instead.

How does this help anyone? Its just OPPRESSING individual identification freedoms. JD Vance is allowed to have a chosen identity, but if your chosen identity doesnt match your genitals get fuck't? This is just anti freedom.

How does this help anyone?

It scores political points with The Base.

I doubt that Trump cares other than the extent to which it's politically useful, though the Heritage Foundation might.

I was hoping for the magoo who posted this to respond. I know the reason for all of this is to destroy the US.

If you get kicked out of the military for being trans, run for political office. Any political office, high and low. Primary Republicans and Democrats alike. They're both a parasite on America.

Trump’s Republican administration does something highly contentious… random person on the internet screams ‘both sides!’…
