Christie links transgender kids with terrorism
NJ. Governor: Transgender? Terrorism!!
Christie responded by trotting out his transphobia: He said that life was simpler in New Jersey...
Men go to men's rooms, women go to women's rooms and there really shouldn't be a whole lot of confusion about that -- public accommodations. And I don't think we should be making life more confusing for our children.
--Christie
Then he engaged in some code switching:
Life is confusing enough right now for our children. Think about those kids in Los Angeles who last week had their entire district closed because of a threat. Think about what they felt like the next day when they went back to school. Did they feel completely comfortable, did they feel like they were safe? How did their mothers and fathers feel when they sent them to school that day? And now today the Nashua schools are closed, based on a threat as well. How are those kids going to feel when they go back to school?
The fact though is that we want our kids not to have to decide which bathroom they get to go in. And not to be subject to peer pressure about which one to go in. And not to be subject to the embarrassment that could come with going in a bathroom where somebody maybe doesn't agree that they should be in there or not.
--Christie
Translation: Screw you, transgender children.
People just can't grasp that transgender kids are not confused about who they are. Any confusion lies in the minds of those who refuse to accept trans kids for who they say they are...and refuse to learn differently.
Why do we do this to our children? It doesn't make any sense. So I don't know. I'm the common sense guy from New Jersey, you know, I don't think life needs to be this complicated. I think it needs to be a lot more straightforward.

What confuses me is
... how an overweight loud mouth bully can rise to being governor of a state or run for president. How does these simpletons not understand the difference between transgender and bathroom fetish?
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. - Friedrich Nietzsche -
Simple, he's, as you said, a simpleton, simple minded, with
a simplistic world view.
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
Thanks, Robyn.

SMH....
Whatta maroon.
But then, it's a Republican. You expect sh*t like this from a party now fully Trump-ized.
