    “Trump is bad” is your repeated and deliberate mischaracterisation of my point that you are being really really really really really gullible if you think that a set of rule changes proposed by a rapist (who tries to sue his victims into silence) are balanced and a good plan rather than just a way to let rich people’s lawyers let more rapists off the hook.

      …and my point is that you are complaining about policy in terms of who changed the policy and not in terms of what the policy actually is. “Trump is bad!” might be reductive, but it is the heart of your position, and most of your reaction to it could easily be reduced to “You are mischaracterizing me by saying ‘Trump is bad!’, here’s why Trump is bad and why it doesn’t matter what the policy actually is since it’s bad policy because it’s his and you’re a fool to base your opinion on what the policy actually says and does, especially since it was active policy nationwide from 2018-August, 2024.”

      Also note: Trump didn’t propose the rule changes in question: DeVos did, back in 2018. Went through the entire bureaucratic rulemaking process that the Obama admin kinda ran roughshod over with that version of Title IX policy. The core of what Trump actually proposed was “I wanna throw out that thing that Biden did that overturned DeVos.” It’s not like he’s overturned other things Biden did solely because Biden did them or anything, like the whiny narcissist that he is.
