My parents are both independents who are staunchly against Dems but sadly everyone else in my family is a Democrat.
Literally all of my aunts, uncles and older cousins despise trannies even though they still blindly vote Dem. Only the young ones have sympathy for muh trannies.
GOP needs to take action.
This is a 70-30 issue and there is no electoral downside in going hard against trannies.
The GOP hasn't had a spine in 60 years, ever since the John Birch Society was tossed out of the Republican party by William F Buckley. How do you think we got to where we are now? Republicans are terrified of being called names.
I've been talking a lot here about how Democrats always resort to moral arguments when it comes to policy debates. You know, the typical hurl names approach instead of defend their policy on the merits. Well, they were trained to do that. How? By 60 years of Republicans wilting in the face of attacks on their moral character. From Goldwater in 1964 until now, the go-to approach of Democrats has been to cast Republicans as moral reprobates. The infamous "Daisy" TV ad in the 1964 Presidential race is the first example of this I can recall. Later, it was "they are going to throw grandma off a cliff" when it came to Social Security. More recently, it is "they are going to put blacks back in chains."
The continuing rise of the populist right will eventually force these sad sacks to nut up or be primaried out.
I know the pathetic history of the feckless
GOP establishment. The GOPe may have successfully suppressed the Tea Party movement in the 2010s but there is no chance in hell they will be able to do the same to the new populist right.
Ron DeSantis is the role model for using power to stop the left.
When Kari Lake wins and hopefully if Doug Mastriano somehow wins, we will see more of a paradigm shift in what is expected out of GOP politicians.
I know I am right because I have seen this.
