Thank you, I was very confused about that until I had actually read the article.
My question was actually regarding the sheer insanity of the original claim - as in, who believes that?
As soon as a big story breaks, their media sphere makes outrageous claims as “just asking questions” then report that their viewers are repeating it.
By the time facts come out, they’ve dropped that story and are doing the same for a new one.
It all circles back to Watergate when Nixon’s administration realized the only reason he had to resign, was Republican voters were listening to the same news as everyone else.
A memo from the accidentally made it into Nixon’s presidential library, and from that a paper trail was found that resulted in Faux News.
That’s why it’s infuriating Biden wants to return to those days. Republicans weren’t different back then, they just hadn’t figured out how to get away with it.
A lot of anti trans rhetoric is actually basically that. “Involved in” is an amazing way to frame victims of crime as possibly perpetrators. Trans women are disproportionately involved in sexual violence, sure it’s as the victims but you don’t have to say that if you want to spin it.
I think it’s just our brains want to change “violent” into “violence” because there’s so many attacks against that demographic.
What the headline is saying is that LGBT isn’t committing terroristic attacks like Republicans claim.

Now that they have, there’s no going back.
Simple projection.
