I am so fucking tired of that narrative ughhhhh
People want progressives, Republican and Democrat doesn't matter as much as whether someone's progressive or alt-right.
If you're against human rights, no human should be voting for you.
If you vote against human rights, you should lose yours.
This isn't that complicated. If people had to go through what they put others through, everyone would be a lot kinder.
What does blown out mean? Weird headline.
The state's most prominent anti-transgender Democrat, Nasif Majeed, fell to progressive challenger Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform, by more than 40 points. Other anti-trans and right-leaning Democrats lost their own primaries as well.
Sounds like a blowout to me.
Blowout, n. A contest that is decidedly one-sided; an overwhelming victory.
But it was the opposite for the subject identified in the headline. The anti-trans candidate did not have a blowout victory but lost substantially. They're using the inverse of the common phrase you defined. It's confusing.
The anti-trans candidates got blown out, imagine it's like... out of an airlock, or out of an exploding building. Getting blown out is bad, you're on the receiving end of the blowout.
As a parent, I've been on the receiving end of many blowouts
Yay!
