CNN's @ForecasterEnten found that **79%** of Americans oppose transgender athletes in female sports yesterday, including 67% of Democrats.https://t.co/MQ5u1rtZU5 pic.twitter.com/PFWzuqx7VE

This was always a stupid, non-sensical hill for Democrats to pick to die on from a political standpoint. I mean, they really thought they were on the “winning” side by catering to the fringe elements in their party on co-called transgender “women” while at the same time trying to have it both ways by falsely claiming they were protectors and defenders of women.
Just like “Defund the Police” hurt Democrats in prior elections, coddling the extremists in the Alphabet Mafia had consequences for them in 2024. And the even worse news for them (and the even better news for Republicans) is that the opposition to men in women’s sports has, as Enten noted, only strengthened over the years across all party lines.
Exit quote:
The thing about this image is that it’s an 80-20 issue that Dems simply handed to Trump and the right to appease some extreme activists.
It’s about as easy of a win as there is in politics.
