The MAGA crew are all talking about woke identity politics issues because those are the ones conservative media have decided to play up as potential wedge issues.
Dem politicians don't want to have to spend their time defending the humanity of trans kids. Also, the electorate as a whole seems not to care that much about trans issues one way or the other.
Conservative media seems to be making the bet that they can slice off pieces of the democratic coalition (example: religiously conservative POC) by making it seem like these are huge issues that define the war for the soul of the country.
I guess I'd agree the correct path isn't diving further into issues like that and instead focusing on economic issues, if that's your point. But Dems have generally been doing a pretty good job of that already?
