My grandfather, back during segregation, conspicuously used the colored bathroom many a time. Nothing was ever done because no one gave a shit(it, uh, might have been different the other direction, but a wage slave at a store has Better Things To Do than get in a confrontation with a customer so lots of them presumably got away with that too- I think some of the segregation cases involved blacks who got away with using the white section over and over again before anyone called them on it).
Of course the real benefit to these laws from a red state perspective is it makes it impossible for blue cities to force bathrooms to be gender neutral.

Musk and Rogan have legitimately embraced some conservative views, even if mostly on the libertarian end.

‘Protect women’ is not actually a historical norm, and societies which are not western today often have no problems harming women.

Nude swimming disappeared because swimsuit technology improved; communal showers i’m pretty sure went out of style due to increasing wealth making individual stalls more affordable.

You can’t.
‘Transgender is a real thing and not a mental illness’ and ‘transgender is some kind of delusion or mental disorder’ are both unfalsifiable because they come down to object level postulates in definitions. You would win the argument by convincing someone that your postulates are better than theirs, the same as they would convince you.

Musk is an eccentric right winger in todays spectrum.

I think a few of them have been revealed to be EMTALA violations on the part of the hospital but I’m not sure.

If the question was changed to "would you rather meet a boy [as in, non-adult male human] or a bear in the woods" the answers change, because boys are by definition not capable of being a physical -> sexual threat.
Depends on where you draw the man/boy line honestly. There’s lots of women who would call most teenaged boys who would not find it a physical challenge to subdue and rape them ‘boys’, and a smaller but still substantial number who would call most college aged men boys.

They’re from a generation where it was more normal.

Why is this such an issue? Restrooms have stalls. I couldn't tell what gender was in one if I tried.
Because it is an issue. Normie not-very socially conservative women really care about there not being biological men in their or their daughters spaces of partial undress.

Is 98% of the same outcome not a solution? It’s a solution that comes down hard on one side, but a solution nonetheless.

Uh, normie Twitter is very much a thing. Sports and pop culture and local news that isn’t about politics is pretty easy to come by.

Don't forget that Ms Thurman also declined to seek medical care for her adverse event; this surely raises the odds of abortion pills doing very bad things.

Vance is probably more Roe v Wade than Griggs. Trump has a muddled middle view on abortion, RFK and Musk are pro-choice at least in theory. Musk is the main one I'd point to being anti-Griggs. The powerful governors are almost universally anti-Roe and more-or-less pro-Griggs.

While your red tribe normie doesn't particularly trust IQ tests, to the extent that he's aware of griggs he's probably not in favor on the basis that it's an excessive labor market regulation/affirmative action/the meat of the issue is adequately covered by existing antidiscrimination law.

I would’ve guessed Russia or the Ottoman Empire was fairly likely to do mass killings of Jews in 1900 and that Jews living in the pale of settlement would be at risk due to a continental war between Russia and Germany, which is predicting that Jewish genocide might be a thing. I wouldn’t have guessed ‘camps run by Germany’ but it’s kind of irrelevant whether totenkopf or Cossack does the mass murder; the point is ‘Jews in Eastern Europe having near to mid term future genocide risk’ was foreseeable at the time.
On the contrary, there is not a major jewish population with a foreseeable near or mid future genocide risk today(you can, I’m sure, name one that not-delusionally-histrionic-about-antisemitism people can agree is in danger or genocide or ethnic cleansing if you disagree).

A source of mine in federal law enforcement claims the cartels already regularly get their hands on brand-new current Russian issue weaponry. This is probably due to corruption, rather than Russian policy, but it still wouldn’t be much of an escalation to give them weapons.

Cutting out just backstrap is illegal in my state- I took backstraps, fore and hind quarters, the neck, and a few odds end ends. Basically everything except the backstrap went into the grind pile.
IME ‘ok’ is a good outcome from home brewing. Mead has tended to turn out better than beer, though.

I’ve made mead before, and beer. It’s not a regular thing.

I mean, I don’t know anyone who claims they decided to turn their life around after confession either. The usual claim is deciding to go to confession after making up one’s mind to turn their life around.

but younger generations of Right Wingers are just going to not support Israel
IME young red tribe normies(far and away the most important demographic for determining what ‘younger generations of right wingers’ support) often don’t think the events of eighty years ago oblige us to pick any particular side, but usually have a superstitious terror of opposing Israel as bad juju/bringing the curse of God, or are prejudiced against Israel’s enemies, or support the outpost of capitalist democracy even if they don’t want to pay for its wars, or….

I mean, do you really think there’s going to be another Holocaust? Antisemitism is a joke among westerners who matter; you’d be surprised how quickly attendees at E Michael Jones lectures drop it at the slightest excuse.
Iran officially calling for another Holocaust is an irrelevancy. Jews will be safe in the west for the foreseeable future, at least as much as ‘white people’(and BTW I agree with you that ‘white people’ are not a group that has a solid argument in favor of needing an ethnostate, although I suppose some white ethnic groups probably do, but not whites as a whole).
They also kill themselves at elevated rates after transition.
Like, ‘it’s entirely a kink’ is legitimately a bad argument, but it doesn’t mean transgenderism is valid. We can just… not accommodate crazy delusional people.
