I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution. 562269533

Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My fear is this gets us back to either a) “separate but equal” which we can see for the lie it’s always been, or b) “separate but unequal (with the disadvantaged receiving more resources)” which doesn’t seem like a stable equilibrium 120

Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Absolutely. Just didn’t want to debate the analogy. Anyway, I’ll check out the article you shared. Hope we can still find different ways in different to turn the tables on the pseudo-clever wordgames these bigots are knowingly playing with real people’s lives 000
Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I think if ignorant voters can have their discomfort (created by others’ malicious lies) alleviated by misleading them during an election in unfavorable territory, that’s probs ok. If she said all GAC for minors should be banned or called for bathroom bans based on gender assigned at birth, not ok 100
Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Look, it’s 💯 rhetorical ambiguity that allows voters to hear what they want. But it’s not an anti trans dogwhistle. The bigots making these arguments aren’t trying to hide/mask their opposition to equal rights. The dogwhistle is that these statements are not incompatible with equal rights IMO anyway 100

Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026More like: you are the ones trying to require men in women’s bathrooms by forcing in masc trans men and banning trans women. Of course, there’s deliberate ambiguity that allows the ignorant or transphobic to hear what they want, but that’s why it’s a (pro-equality) dogwhistle in a tight race. 100
Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The point being, it’s their arguments/beliefs that are absurd, not ours, and more people should say so. 000
Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Comparing the caricature of what bigots think GC care for kids is rather than the reality, but retracting the misguided analogy. 200
Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Is silence a better defense than denying their malicious smears? The absurdity of their position is clear in their reaction anytime trans men follow their requirements and use the facility of their birth gender. The fascists think they’re being rhetorically clever, but we don’t have to agree. 100
Scott Dietz @scottdietz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The dogwhistle is for us! If averring that support for trans rights does NOT entail the absurd scenarios of bigoted attacks also allows ignorant voters to get over their discomfort and stay onside, so be it. Ambiguity to mislead low-info voters while winking at the base is the point of dogwhistles. 000
