Err does anyone on the right actually think we have secure borders?
Like wasn't "securing the borders" part of Trump's pitch? As in "there's an invasion taking place and we need to secure the borders"?
The trans one is spot on though

Yes, Trump and his administration keep saying this.
"The Invasion of our Country is OVER." https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114088564162922800

That just supports what I said?
the rest of the world thinks it's terribly hilarious. and now they're picking a fight with canada? lmao that's a hell of a wall to build to keep out a teaspoon of fent.
and there's no point in asking the "right" in the usa any questions any more, because they can't be trusted to answer you in good faith. they're lost, and it's just a matter of time before america realizes they're really just on the brink of a war with themselves.
It's telling that Trump never brings up the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma. They're the one's directly responsible for over prescribing opioids and causing the fentanyl crisis in the first place. The court system has let them completely off the hook.
no worries, though, let's overcharge the rest of the world to make it "fair" to the first world who's definitely got it much harder than they do!
I'm not sure the trans one is contradictory in the conservative mindset. Trans women are too "manly", trans men are too "effeminate" according to them.
Yeah it's not perfect but they definitely think trans women are too weak for the military, too
To be fair, they have a problem with trans women in women's sports. They don't have a problem with trans men in men's sports because they can't imagine a situation where a trans man could possibly compete with "real" men.
It goes along with their idea that women are weak, so women are weak athletes and women's sports teams are weak. If you accept that, it's not a big stretch to think that someone who has gone through puberty as a male will have an automatic huge advantage in every women's sport because their body has male characteristics.
On the other hand to them, the military is the ultimate in manly activities. Anybody other than a pure, manly man will be at a disadvantage in anything military. That includes trans men, trans women and regular women. Right now the focus is on trans people, but I'm sure they'll want to kick women out of the military too eventually.
So, if you accept that logic, it makes sense that trans women are too weak for the military, but too strong for women's sports. There's no contradiction there.
It also goes along with their mentality that trans men are simply poor, defenseless women who have been brainwashed into wanting to become strong, powerful men. And also how trans women must be mentally ill. Because how could anyone not want to be a man? Women who want to be men are understandable but misguided, and men who want to be women are sick and to be both pitied and hated - but especially hated.

doublespeak fr
This is a mixed metaphor. Women are kept out of frontline combat much like they’re sidelined to the WNBA: segregated under the guise of inclusion.
Now that we're solidly in the era of alternative facts, all that seems to register is what a politician says in the moment. It's really depressing to watch both political parties and 99% of voters just shrug their shoulders and go along with the utter stupidity of our political culture, even in full knowledge of its deleterious effects on their own lives.
