Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
No. It'll get much worse if you do vote for genocidal fucks like this, because they'll make the rest of the Democrats more like them.
It's two fold. When you elect a Democrat, you aren't just sending a representative to the Legislature. You're sending a party representative to the DNC, who will do their best to lobby the party itself to support what they were elected to do.
Then Democrats in other states look at candidates like this winning and think "I gotta adopt some of their policy ideas to appeal to right-leaning voters." This, in turn, shifts the whole party structure to the right.
I'm in Iowa and I won't vote for my own genocide.
