Amanda Marcotte : Donald Trump and his allies are inflicting psychic damage with their campaign ads.

Marcotte says the anti-trans ads are more blunt than any other ad in their zero -sum mentality.

She says the implicit message is that the mere existence of trans people threatens cis people.

Research repeatedly shows that such messaging doesn't move the needle, electorally, she says.

Chaya Raichik is a thought leader inside the GOP , despite the constant drumbeat of terrorism against people and schools she's targeted for being LGBTQ-friendly.

The terror campaign is spreading internationally and against anyone the right deems somehow not fitting into their narrow gender roles.

The only people who benefit are scummy politicians like Trump , who ruin lives to gain votes.
