The Right-Wing Bull... But.

We need to pay heed to the right-wing propaganda, one of the things that both side do is sign up for each others news letters. I joked that I had to take my blood pressure meds firsts... well this article is like that it from a far-right media outlet.

Voter Opposition to Transgender Policies a Huge Political Winner for GOP

New Jersey and Virginia GOP gubernatorial candidates gain ground as they highlight radical stances of their opposition

Swing voters opposed to transgender policies that enable deviant males to intrude into the private spaces of women could have a significant impact on this year’s gubernatorial races and next year’s midterm elections. So says Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project (APP). 

In an exclusive interview, Schilling told Restoration News Republican candidates who are willing to highlight the extremism of Democrats stand to benefit electorally. He emphasized that this is particularly true in cases where Democrats have gone on the record with votes that make it more difficult to for them to evade public scrutiny. APP is a nonprofit group that supports family values. 

The Republican candidate for New Jersey governor, Jack Ciattarelli, told Restoration News that his Democratic opponent, Mikie Sherrill, was a hypocrite for claiming to support women's rights while backing policies that make sports less safe for women.

Back around 2008, when a trans woman sent an email to her legislator saying “No f**king way” (and other strong language), it was read on the floor of the Connecticut House. Our bill didn’t even get voted on that year.

Since Democrats continue to push a transgender agenda that alienates parents, puts girls in jeopardy, and rewrites civil rights laws, Republicans have an advantageous position, Schilling argues. Although the party in the White House typically loses seats in off-year elections, Schilling highlights data points that show the New Jersey gubernatorial race is within reach for Jack Ciattarelli, a businessman and former Republican assemblyman. In surveys done for APP, Schilling told Restoration News that when voters discovered Sherill supports taxpayer funded sex change procedures for minors, there is an 8.2 percentage point shift in the electorate toward Ciattarelli. Recent polls show the Republican challenger is either slightly behind or tied with Sherrill in what is traditionally a deep blue state. 

“This is an issue people vote on,” Schilling said. “If you're pushing men into women's sports, and men into women's showers and lockers in, and into other private facilities, then you really don't care about the rest of us. Democrats have to choose. Do we want men in girl’s bathrooms? Do we want to represent the 1.3% of the population that insists on giving kids sex change procedures and going into women's locker rooms and showers? Or do we want to side with the majority of the country? Democrats are siding with this tiny, small minority and Republicans should be thanking their lucky stars that Democrats have not made a course correction.”

We are the low-hanging fruit, ripe for picking, and they are making the most of it with their lies.

The thing is, almost no one knows anything about us. So when Republicans lie, people believe it! And they are exploiting that ignorance. We cannot allow ourselves to become political pawns.

Do not be surprised if our healthcare gets cut from the Continuing Resolution (CR) bill. Republicans are trying to tie us into the shutdown, and they have offered an amendment stripping our healthcare from the CR as a condition for restoring Medicaid and Medicare funding. Don’t be surprised if Democrats agree to it.

It’s a no-win situation for us: if we object, we get blamed for the shutdown; if we agree, we get thrown under the proverbial bus.

Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. If we want Democrats to win in 2026 and 2028, we may need to bite the bullet and take the long view.

One thing we did during that first disaster was start educating the public. We spoke wherever we were invited. We need to educate the public on facts, not fear.

Second, we have to face reality: Democrats might go along with a healthcare exemption for us. Do we complain, or do we dig in for the longer battle?

Here in Connecticut, we dug in, and in five years, we passed the non-discrimination law. The next step is the courts.

I am planning to volunteer to help Democrats get elected. We live in a two-party system—like it or not. One party hates our guts, the other is struggling for survival.

So what are you going to do—sit here and complain and bad-mouth Democrats, or work for our future? The choice is yours.
