Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), who is currently running for governor of Alabama, went on a 20-minute, lie-filled rant on the Senate floor accusing trans people of being violent and “deranged” and proposing that the United States bring back mental institutions to house them.
Tuberville claimed there is a “rise in violence coming from people who the left refers to as transgender.”
They focus on “othering” so anyone that isn’t “normal” is their target. Furries and transgender people (not to be confused with each other) are relatively rare and “weird” to a lot of people so they are particularly easy targets.
