    It’s not deeply unpopular. It’s deeply unpopular in my circles, and probably yours, but the country just gave the popular vote to a republican for the first time in 20 years.

      You are correct that Trump is popular!

      You would not be correct to assume that anti-trans legislation is popular.

      It’s important to remember the air gap between the policies people support and the candidates they vote for. People generally indicate discomfort with overregulation of such a tiny minority, and this is what I mean when I said “deeply unpopular.”
