The definition of a woman as being 'someone who defines themselves as being a woman' - and having no relationship to biology, would be considered 'false' by the majority of the world - including ironically the majority of Americnas, maybe even the majority of progressives, and yet, some political groups demand this 'truth' as a moral impetus.
I have Latino friends that would be offended and a bit flabbergasted were you to refer to them using 'Latinx'. It's their right to feel that way.
That somehow 'globalist institutions are benign'.
That social control of major swaths (in some cases 'all') of the economy would benefit everyone.
That having no material border policy is 'concientious'.
I could go on.
And I'm not 'taking sides' other than to suggest that notwithstanding the threat of misinformation (re: the 'Big Lie') over election results and the potentiality for that to develop into a constitutional coup ... the 'sides' have their share of delusions.
And I mean everyone. There are libertarians who believe there should be 'no government' and that would actually work out. Edit: I don't need to introduce HNers to the common delusions of rightist populists, we're rather generally well informed there.

For example climate change denial and warmongering. Now the latter part is crucial, power: they partly control the most advanced industrial country in the world (climate change) and the most advanced military (warmongering).
These are things that affect the world.
And your counter to that? Trans people and terminology like “Latinx”. Pathetic.
Try to get a grip on things that matter in the world and get your head out of the identity politics discourse.
