I appreciate Biden's support and his raising of the issue.  He was more in touch with the needs of our community than was Pres. Obama.  But the violence against trans people has been going on long before Trump, and won't end when he's gone.  Then again, Trump hasn't done a damn thing to help, and has never once mentioned the issue.

 Interesting comment, and while welcome, does not convince me it will happen.  It is Trumps pets who lick him all over that need to be brought under control.

I doubt violence will stop but if the trumpers are forced to slither back under their rocks instead of being supported things might improve.  I remember the days when kids seemingly enjoyed "gay hunting" on the weekends.  trump is bringing that back.  I think the "deplorables" are busy liking each other.  Hopefully with the master gone many of the pets will run away with tails between their legs.

I don’t think it’s going to make it go away but it’s certainly going to make it less popular. The sad thing about these cowards is that they would not have been as forward about their opinions in the form of action if they had not had their favorite candidate win. It has emboldened them to act in very criminal ways because they perceive being supported by a man in office. But removing him won’t put the cat back in the bag. It’s got to be met with a concentrated effort to prevent such violence. Whether that’s by securing legal protections and insisting on the enforcement of them, or making sure lgbtq people travel in groups. It’s a mistake to try meeting violence with violence. Provocation is completely out of the question. Being smart and taking the high ground is always better.

Biden has no clue what has been happening, if he thinks the violence will end when trump does. Trumps people are in the White House, they aren’t leaving when trump leaves. Trump has triggered and enabled theses people, they aren’t going away. We have to vote the rest of them out, and restore and create better laws, and heavier penalties. People do not slow down or stop unless there are serious consequences.
