A Gish gallop of easily disprovable justifications serves as a good demonstration of how they don't want to govern so much as rule (or at best, get rich by scaring their constituency).

These kinds of false claims are like blood libel or the stab-in-the-back myth, and will be used to justify the continuing genocide of trans folk, and any other demographic marginal enough to burn.
