We're the ones playing identity politics when they're the ones always pick the trans fights

Nancy Mace and her trans bathroom rule - she picked that fight

Republicans filing the anti-trans bills

Republicans passing the the trans bills

Republicans campaigning on trans children playing in sports


Democrats don't bring this stuff up, they do. They go on cable news blame us for them bringing it up and then they drag us into it. They're the ones that bring it up and pick this fight every single chance they get... and somehow we're the ones playing identity politics. Then Democratic politicians buy into their narrative about how Democrats need to stop the "identity politics" when Dems aren't the ones passing the trans bills and talking about the "trans in bathrooms" and "trans in sports" stuff.

that has realigned both parties over the decades.

They don't want rights for everyone... the whole 'identity politics' thing is a projection... they're the ones that want a country based upon white xtian identity.. it's what drives them more than anything.. has nothing to do with economics, conservatism or any of the other reasons the media gives.
