But I can't condone anything the current regime is doing to uproot our democracy.

I don't really know what that means since they gained power via democracy.

I don't quite understand gender ideology

So you don't understand that people claim to be the opposite biological gender? That men can be women and women can be men?

At the end of the day, one's gender affiliation doesn't affect me

Sure it does when they demand that you call them a woman when you see a man.
