Transcript:
Narrator: The dictator previously known as Adolf Hitler announces that she's now a trans woman. (Man: My name is Adolfa. Call me that...or else.) Ignoring her policies the news media focuses on the historical symbolism. (Woman: First trans chancellor!) (Man: Trans people have arrived!) The LGBTQIA community rallies around her. (Man: Don't you want to see a female, and trans, chancellor?) Anyone who questions her? Transphobic and misogynist! (Man 3: But: Death camps? Killing trans people?) (Woman: First trans chancellor!!)

This is Natural Born Killer level of exposure to how the modern media-created hive mind operates. Rally the people around a cause (The War on Terror, Gay Wedding Cakes, Black Lives Matter), and demonize those that bother to look a little more deeply into the Two-Minutes of Hate.

LGBTQIA? Okay, I’m with you on the LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and intersex). Why do do people feel the need to add “questioning” and “asexual” to that? If you’re questioning your sexuality, go experiment and answer the question. I can’t even think of why anyone would have an issue with the asexual with the exception of overbearing aging mothers desperate for grandchildren.< rant >It all boils down to people showing mutual respect and staying out of everyone else’s personal lives. Don’t like gays? Fine, you don’t have to. Just bake the damn cake and move on with your life. It doesn’t affect you. Don’t like seeing two lesbians kiss? Nether do I. I also don’t like watching straight people kiss, but I don’t act like the world is ending over it. If you find it repulsive, don’t look. Don’t feel comfortable standing next to that transgendered woman? Get over it or go stand somewhere else. The more you rail against other people’s individuality not being just like you, the more they’re going to get in your face about it. On the flip side, there are just some things people can just keep it to themselves. I’m happy that you’re that you’ve found your true self as another gender. I’m not your doctor and I didn’t need to know about it. The same goes with the intersex, the asexual, and straight people. Go do what makes you happy in the bed room, just leave me out of it.< /rant >

I thought the ‘Q’ was for ‘Queer’, which sort of covers all the other things the majority supposedly don’t like.

Rall struck out completely on this one.
Seriously, I don’t even see trans people saying nonsense like what he portrays here. And using a political strip to imply some relationship between Jenner and Hitler, which is almost what this looks like? I didn’t know Rall could go that low, and for so little reason.
