America PAC, the super PAC backed by Elon Musk, is set to spend over $100 million in an effort to help Republicans win in the midterms. So far, that spending budget seems to be going almost exclusively towards anti-trans ads that push scaremongering lies about trans people, misinformation about Democratic candidates, and are (in some cases) likely AI-generated.

"Elon Musk is scapegoating LGBTQ+ Americans to distract voters from the cuts he made and the chaos he has caused," Ramiro Sarmiento, the National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement. "Trans people aren't the reason cancer research has stalled, rural hospitals have closed, or food recalls are everywhere — that's all because of Elon's cuts. Like always, Elon is trying to save his bought and paid for politicians. But American voters won't be fooled."

The 19th reviewed America PAC's ads in Meta and Google libraries, with at least 38 ads making claims that voting for Democrats into office for competitive Senate seats would "put our daughets in danger" and that they would push a "radical trans agenda."

Specifically, the attack ads take aim at Democrats running for the US Senate seat in four states: Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Josh Turek in Iowa, Mary Peltola in Alaska, and James Talarico in Texas. The ads suggest that these are all radical Democrats who are going to spend all of voters' tax dollars on gender-affirming care and allowing trans women to play sports.

That is because when we take the Senate and the House, the Capitol will be buried in Articles of Impeachment.

Sadly, no one will go to prison because law enforcement is afraid to enforce the laws against politicians. Especially wealthy politicians.

Ya know, even if they eliminate everyone in the LGBT community (and not just us), it won't change a damn thing. Think about it. Will it make gasoline cheaper? Will grocery prices come down? Will the gun murder rate drop? No, no, and no.

But some of these candidates are not pro-trans or pro-LGBTQ. Their records are mixed, and some have taken positions that restrict transgender rights, trans participation in women's sports and gender-affirming care for minors.

Both sides are sus asf.

I hate this because I WANT to put my blue middle fingers up in the air to these idiots around here. But, why? UGH. This timeline sucks. I keep saying the same things. BUT, I keep running into the same conclusion. They could kill us all and the country would cheer. No one gives a damn about us.
