"A Stunning Rebuke Of Anti-Trans Politics" — Dems Win Elections Nationwide Despite Anti-Trans Ads -- Erin In The Morning
One thing is crystal clear, John: voters are rejecting anti-trans fearmongering.
Across the country, pro-equality leaders won — even in races where anti-trans groups poured money into vile attack ads, spread disinformation online, and hurled slurs at LGBTQ+ candidates. For all their noise, threats, and smear campaigns, anti-trans extremists were dealt a stunning rebuke at the ballot box.
Just look at Virginia: despite a barrage of anti-trans ads and messaging, pro-equality candidates not only held their ground: they won. Voters saw through the cruelty and refused to reward leaders who weaponize transgender people to score cheap political points.
But while Election Night was a major setback for anti-trans forces, their playbook isn’t going anywhere. They’ll keep testing new attacks. They’ll keep trying to flip pro-equality seats in Congress and state legislatures. And they’re already plotting their next wave of anti-LGBTQ ads.
That’s why we need you with us. Pitch in TODAY to make sure these hateful tactics continue to fail — and to fortify the momentum we saw in Virginia as we head into the next critical fights!
These extremists think they can win by doubling down on lies and dehumanization. They think voters will eventually give in to their fearmongering.
But we know better, John. Voters just proved it. Let’s keep proving it — and make sure their attacks fall flat again. Pitch in today to keep rejecting hate and powering LGBTQ+ victories!
Thank you,
