Trump's sports ban EO is now live. You can find it here. I'm going to, as I have done in previous nights, go line by line and explain it for all of you here.

I think the political landscape has changed massively from 2021 to 2025 now. Just look at the 2020 Dem campaign on LGBT issues vs 2024. Big difference. IPSOS is some of the most reliable polling out there. As for Americans rapidly becoming more bigoted, even that poll from 2021 you linked showed a movement of negative 5 points over two years for transgender acceptance in the military. Extrapolate that overall to 2025 for other trans issues, and the numbers look really bad, a basic linear calculation would be negative 10 points on every issue, so 72% against transgender athletes in women’s sports using the numbers from that 2021 poll. Trump won the election, including the popular vote, and was polled to be ahead of Harris on every key issue aside from abortion, so I really do think that your average American has become that more fascist over the past 4 years. Even the “#Resistance” by the liberals right now is 10 times more pathetic than it was in 2016. Just look at the “protests” that took place today.
This is the reality of the situation, it really is that bad. I don’t think it has quite set in yet, but it’s what I’m seeing. Is it a temporary thing to do with Trump, or a permanent change in attitude, that we’ll have to wait and see.
