I guess it’s a good thing the question wasn’t: what was the first thing Trump went after.
The question was: why aren’t corporations pushing back. If you read what I said, instead of apparently assuming I don’t understand the order of events of Trumps idiocy, you’d see that I’m telling you that SPORTS has driven folks who would normally be neutral or supporting of transgender rights in the opposite direction. You can say that’s stupid, you can say you don’t like it, but that’s reality. And the INSISTENCE on the trans community of pushing the sports thing gave Trump and company an in to make it the central focus of the discussion.
Why on earth would ANY business get in the middle of that when, again, the majority of Americans do not support it? A topic like this leaves no room for nuance, either a company supports transgender rights and everything that goes with it (like the hotbutton sports topic) or they don’t. It is safer for their sales to not.
I’m trying to point out how sports are only a very small portion of Trump’s illegal orders.
How does your explanation address the obedience of hospitals or schools or prisons? The scale and scope of what Trump is doing is so far beyond sports and I have no idea why you think sports are the key to understanding the stituation. Sports institutions aren’t the only ones bowing down to these illegal orders, and so that begs the question: why are the others obeying in advance?
Sports weren’t even the first thing Trump went after.
