Many Americans that voted for the troll are nostaglic for 1950s America, with its good jobs to support a family on, with women and minorities in their place, with gays invisible, and transsexuals not yet invented.

Several state legislatures controlled by Republicans are determined to make life difficult for transsexuals.

In the long run, transsexuals can push back simply by obeying the bathroom law and refusing to be embarrassed. "Don't blame me — right-wing jerks passed a law that says I have to use this toilet. Will you join me in campaigning to vote them out?"

Donald Trump Didn't Save the Ethics Committee. The American people did. The troll only chimed in with a weak statement.

Fossil fuel workers whose jobs will (we desperately hope) disappear can oppose decarbonization. Also, planet-roaster politicians cite them as a reason to keep using fossil fuels. If we can help these workers get new jobs, that will facilitate decarbonization.

But we don't dare choose to slow decarbonization for this. Avoiding global heating disaster, which could kill 2/3 of all living humans and 2/3 of all living species, is desperately urgent.

The military-industrial complex could be responsible for persecution of Rohingyas, in support of a land-grab that has kicked millions of people (of various ethnic groups) off their lands.
