Yes. Is that a serious question?

Supposedly there's 9 million fortunately for Trump, most likely they're concentrated in states like New York and California which will never vote for him. More dangerous is places like Florida which has a significant LGBT population, that barely went for him.

Lol. His voters don't care.

And the Democrats in red States don't care either.

Not if they want to get reelected

Guarantee that Mattis didn't want to put up with this BS training shite. He was directly questioned about itduring his confirmation hearings because he'd made statements in the past that he opposed all the new gender fads Obozo and his ilk came up with.

Trump just made the statement and owned it himself so Mattis and others wouldn't have to deal with the ensuing barrage of outcry from the left.

Exactly. Politically, this is a genius move. The democrats will rally around this and it will turn off middle America, specifically whites in the rust belt, again.

That's LGBT, not T's alone.

Besides, like you said, they weren't going to vote for him anyway. I'd put the number of trannies waffling over whether to vote for Trump or Hillary at less than 5% of trannies. That's a statistical zero.

You may not realize this but the gays seem to have won the culture war. Being seen as a reactionary on this issue won't look good.

Wednesday’s move will only make it harder to maintain readiness, by slightly shrinking the pool of eligible recruits, removing current service members, and signaling to many others that today’s military is not the kind of employer they want to work for.

But they haven't. A big reason Trump won the rust belt is because the democrats focused on fringe issues like tranny bathrooms and women's rights. Things like that were literally shoved down America's throats by the media and pop culture the entire 2nd term of Obama's administration and it turned off a lot of normal people who otherwise would have gone for the d candidate because of unions.

The best part is the very liberal use of the word "slightly"

While technically correct, it's a gross overstatement x100

I will guarantee that the vast majority of troops wouldn't want anything to do with PC meetings and bullshite which has nothing to do with military force.

Progressives want to make the military a fricked up weakened social experiment.

flies in the face of empirical research showing transgender troops don’t hurt readiness.


Curious how that study was conducted

I know several people in the military that say the PC bullshite makes them consider not reenlisting. I suspect this new culture shift in the military will help with retention rates.

It hasn't occurred to the writer that the types of guys typically attracted to military service are not the same guys who are out protesting for trans rights. If anything, the ban being enforced is a positive to the target demographic.

If you are a tranny and you want to MAGA, just enlist as your God given gender, keep your mouth shut, and wear the gear assigned to you.

It's simple.

What we don't need is a huge fricking distraction on the battle field, mentally ill SJWs with guns, and endless lawsuits over shitters and military funded sex reassignments.

Libs are trying too hard to turn trannies into the next great civil rights movement.

Hate to tell you, most of the homosexuals that I know and have worked with make most of us look down right reasonable when it comes to trannies

The lesbians in particular, frickin hate'em.....white hot hate.
