Two years ago, I don’t recall this being an issue in stores or in public buildings. Why? No one tried to impose a law saying no distictions can be made. IOW, if you walked into a woman’s room you looked so much like a woman that no one noticed.

I’ve looked at these laws and regulations and policies and NONE of them so far has said anything other than anyone can walk into any facility no matter what they look like or what equipment they possess.

So many forget that it was Charlotte NC that changed the norm. NC was trying to fix what Charlotte screwed up.

I think we might be much farther along than anyone on our side really wants to admit

Totalitarianism is anti-human in my mind. It doesn't really like human beings other than itself and its needs.

Was it CS Lewis who suggested that Satan really wants to see humanity annihilated, that he hates all of us?

Satan, the father of totalitarianism.

The real purpose behind the “bathroom wars” is to breakdown societal morays.

The source of this insanity is Postmodernism that has taken hold of colleges and universities.

It denies the existence of objective reality and truths.

"The source of this insanity is Postmodernism that has taken hold of colleges and universities."

Last week, my local paper ran an anti-Trump op-ed blaming Trump's rise on post-modern relativism and the elevation of feelings over facts. The article did not point out that postmodernism is a leftist ideology, and the very next day the same paper came out in favor of the idea that a man can be a woman just because he feels like a woman. It would be hilarious if such lack of self-awareness weren't so spooky.

If you take 5-2, then you get 3. And 3-2 = 1. And if you add 2 + 2 then you get 4. But if you add back that extra 1 we found, then you have 5.

For people who don’t believe there is any reality, they sure are trying hard to obtain power and wealth.

You are correct in saying that in many places this issue of who uses what bathroom rarely or never comes up, so you ask, “Why is it such a big deal?” The left thinks it is a VERY big deal, and the reason is that this is just one more way to undermine traditional notions of sexuality, to marginalize and even criminalize those who hold to the old views, and to extend the power of the federal government even further. With every small step, the left always says, “Hey, this is no big deal, what’s the problem?”, and look where we are now.

It’s not that they don’t believe there is ANY reality, they don’t believe that there is an objective reality, a reality that is the same for everybody. They believe that reality can be “manufactured” to suit your purpose, so if their purpose is to gain power over you they will create a make believe world, a “narrative” that will do that. A key requirement for their success is to control the propaganda organs. To squash all other narratives, they’re not far away from that.

While I agree completely that our society is creeping into oblivion. This non-issue is complete slight of hand to distract from the real issues currently destroying the country. The Obama administration has completely screwed the pooch with the economy, foreign affairs, energy policy, illegal immigrants invading the country and now we are wasting our time getting all up in arms over something that is nothing but non-existent fluff.

I have never heard of any verified instance in a school where the Obama administrations “guidance” would have made a bit of difference. Have you? This is a distraction. It is a hot button that is completely meaningless. The left doesn't care about it; they are just laughing about getting a rise out of the right about something so stupid. Look over at DU and you will be able to verify what I am telling you.

The left is now open in its authoritarian streak.
When people talk about Nazis, liberals assume it was the nationalism that made it evil, hence the hatred of Trump’s nationalism. In reality, it was the all encompassing socialism that was evil - which SJWs today demand while cry-bullying others into submission if not attacking them outright.

He doesn’t want Nuremburg Trials; he wants summary execution on suspicion of guilt.

Excellent post. So many folks do not understand Nazism. As you say it is viewed as nationalism + a scapegoated minority.

It really was about a socialism of the elite.

Thanks, tbw2.
