Most Americans believe that it’s a “problem” that Republicans are transphobic.

A new YouGov poll asked Americans whether they thought that certain issues were a “problem” for either party. 44% said that transphobia was “a major problem” among Republicans, and another 24% said they thought it was “a minor problem.” Only 32% of respondents said it wasn’t a problem.

Transphobia was the second most likely issue to be labeled a problem by respondents, after “hostility toward immigrants.” “Tolerance of political violence,” “conspiracy thinking,” “white supremacy,” “homophobia,” and “fascism” followed closely behind.

Oddly, 40% of respondents said that “transgender ideology” was “a major problem” for Republicans, and another 20% said it was “a minor problem.” 41% said that they didn’t think it was a problem at all for Republicans.

    Last I checked, Trump is the president. Even when he wasn't, he has been in the political spotlight since 2016 2011 and the Republican party has bent over backwards to fulfill his whims. As a consequence, his actions influence policy. Are you saying we should ignore that?
