What I meant is that it's derogatory to use the term "mansplain". Sorry for confusing you.

"Only white men do X" is absolutely racist and sexist. "Mansplain" is derogatory.

Those companies are already based in the US.

Are Black trans women known for this kind of behaviour?

The question suggests that Black trans women are all alike. It's exactly that kind of generalization that's being criticized.

When a given demographic is a dominant presence in a given area (not necessarily work, it can be anything), there is a tendency for they demographic to start making assumptions about other demographics.

Isn't she the one making assumptions, though? Specifically, the "prejudice and stupidity of the person indirectly insulting her" part? I mean, is that really the only possible explanation?

What privilege applies here?

The Republican push for hand-counted ballots has continued to emerge as the party criticizes a number of electronic voting systems, linking them to claims that the 2020 election was stolen via widespread voter fraud.

One of the major proponents of paper ballots is Trump supporter and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has been an outspoken critic of electronic voting machines. He has said he wants U.S. elections to be held using paper ballots.

Broken clock syndrome. You don't have to be a MAGAt to think that paper ballots are more secure than digital ones.

"Assault with a deadly weapon or instrument other than a firearm" (CPC 245(a)(1)) can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the exact circumstances.

I read the bill.

The question is irrelevant to whether this bill is a good idea.

It's become too easy. It no longer involves actually standing on the floor of the senate and talking. It's a purely procedural thing now. OP should have said "bring back the talking filibuster".

Musk's companies are already based in the US. The issues you raise, however valid, are not really relevant to a discussion of this bill.
