Just to clarify the point: Republicans only shriek about issues like transgenderism to put the focus on these non-issues, away from real issues like healthcare, poverty and inequality, war, climate change, etc..

Reprobate nation and all that stuff. It's like lesbians causing hurricanes.

To them, these are - or can be - connected.

Funny how they never comment on the high rate of floods, drought and tornados in the Bible Belt.

That's gods punishment on them for not fighting the gay agenda hard enough. Once all the gays are back in the closet and all the babies are forced to be born and all the schools are Christian, the tornadoes will stop.

Why aren't the Democrats addressing those issues. Do they just shriek about other things? I feel like they shriek about the same things, actually, and that's how culture war bullshit serves both "sides", or should we say the two available flavours of neoliberalism.

They are, but you aren’t looking.
They’re pretty centrist so it won’t always be as aggressive as it should be.
The GOP has literally, out loud, said in the past that their goal is to literally obstruct and vote down basically every single piece of Democrat legislation and there was a long time where two pretty rightwing fuckers were spending more time voting with Republicans than anything else and that really got in the way.

So, I dunno, pay more attention?
