Donald Trump had recently finished a familiar riff about banning gender transition surgery for children when the former president, speaking to an audience of Evangelical voters, moved on to something new: a policy that would affect transgender adults.
“I will ban all taxpayer funding for sex or gender transitions at any age,” said Trump, receiving thunderous applause at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington last month. The Republican leader, who moments earlier had also pledged to reinstate a ban on transgender men and women serving in the military, paused for several seconds to soak in the crowd’s adulation.
It’s the kind of moment — and the type of policy — increasingly common on the GOP presidential campaign trail this year.
How fucking naive. You think the evangelical church gives a single fuck about taxpayers? How about they, as an organization, pay taxes first? That would help relieve some of the tax burden placed on literally everyone else to cover the services that they use.
This is 100% related to puritanical social conservative bullshit and has nothing to do with taxes. At all.
