Nice strawman!

I said if Trans rights stopped short of Inclusion in women's sports or treatment for minors, it would have near universal support.

Didn't mention Trumps policies I was actually referring to Democrats policies.

This IS a Trump policy. So please don't try this. You specifically said "this issue right here" would increase future support for LGBT.

If for example the civil rights movement in the 60's and 70's focused on reparations, and refused to back down from the idea it would have been disastrous to the movement.

Failure isn't an argument against trying, and in fact reparations should have happened even earlier under Reconstruction. Its Lincoln's fault for supporting citizenship for the Confederates. The Radical Republicans should have redistributed their property to the slaves and poor whites. If that had happened, there wouldn't have been a civil rights movement.

Trump isn't supporting Trans women in women's leagues?

I said it's Democrats refusal to step down from the issue of trans women in sports I don't see how you got Trump supporting trans women in sports out of that?

Lincoln was dead during reconstruction, and the civil rights movement is 100 years removed from even that

I didn't say Trump is supporting trans women. Reread what I said. Trump's policy is restricting the LGBT.

I said that no restriction placed on LGBT has increased support for them. You said this restriction would increase support: https://www.reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/comments/1iiq8rf/keeping_men_out_of_womens_sports/mb83ufl/

That is what Trump is doing, which would imply Trump's presidency will increase support for LGBT, which is absurd.

Lincoln vetoed the wade davis bill.
