Only thing is, the Trump anti-trans ads weren't effective. Yet that hasn't stopped some establishment Democrats from blaming the loss on that issue and 'wokeness'. From the polling, the best rhetoric to have is to be pro-trans but not have it as a forefront issue. Advocating for universal programs like access to healthcare be a forefront issue and simply extending that right to trans people when needed is the most beneficial.
Hey, I'm right there with you, but based on this piece from Politico, it sounds like a lot of Democrats want to go right on social issues. The unnamed delegate from Florida even references the ad, and all but says, "we need to stop supporting trans stuff." The Democrats don't want to go back to being an economically left party, so some of them are trying to see if dialing back the, "wokeness," will help, and if they get their way, it looks like trans issues will be first of the chopping block.
Yeah that's what I was referencing. The Trump anti-trans ads weren't effective on the American public, if anything the opposite; but were effective on getting the Democratic Party to move to the right on social issues, in opposition to public sentiment. Only effective because the Democratic Party refuses to recognize the real reasons for their major loss in public support. If they continue to go right on social issues, I only see them losing even more support
Well, glad to know it wasn't effective. The pundit class was talking about how damaging it was, but I shouldn't have assumed they were basing that on facts.
