We (Americans) are so used to just picking up and moving within the country, and seeing so many people move here, that we just assume we can pick up and (legally) move anywhere in the world.
Moving somewhere is very different than being a tourist, or an extended stay.
in the last two months leading up to the election, the GOP spent more on anti-trans lies than on all other issues combined, including immigration. at least in so-called battleground states.
"In the past five weeks, Trump’s operation has spent more than $29 million on TV ads criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for supporting transgender surgeries for inmates and illegal immigrants in detention, according to data from the media tracking firm AdImpact. That makes the topic, by far, the biggest focal point when it comes to Trump’s ad spending"
"There were more ads on transgender sports than inflation, gas prices and bread and butter issues that could have swayed independent voters. We did not have a turn out problem — middle of the road voters simply didn’t like what Tudor was selling."
Fair enough, I would agree that those constitute anti-trans. Not sure I'd classify most (all?) of them as lies, but they are certainly misleading in some cases. The tactic used here of saying that their opponent "supports" something when in fact they voted against not having the thing is a particularly annoying method of misleading.
