In the not-too-distant future, Cruz envisioned, “we’re going to be able to go to parents and say, ‘Hey, you know that Trump Account your kid has? … Wouldn’t you like to be able to keep a portion of your tax payments that you’re paying already and, instead of sending it to Uncle Sam, wouldn’t you like to have a Trump Account just like your kid does?’'’

“My prediction is, within five years, that is going to have a really compelling constituency,” the Texas Republican added.___

    Yes it bothers me a lot about the trans hate in particular because I am closely associated with the LGBT community and it hurts me seeing this happen to my friends. Some of my ex-friends in Holland are now rabid about all the usual tropes, like athletes, toilets etc. All things that aren’t actually true (HRT actually diminishes muscle power a lot and there are almost no trans athletes let alone successful ones, and people don’t go through a whole transition so they can walk into the women’s restroom, that whole premise is completely ridiculous). I’ve tried to educate them but the propaganda is constantly flowing in on social media.

    Sometimes I wonder if these guys like being angry. Because they seem to be looking for stuff to be angry about all the time.
