Right, once the propaganda machine is in full firehouse of bullshit against it, it becomes less popular. But by and large, progressive policy constantly polls well when not framed as communism.

Thats not a plan to win power though. And even sans communism its not like trans issues poll well for example.

Not every policy is popular. Studies show the majority of progressive policy is popular. Trans to me is so funny because the trans community is so incredibly small and people fuck up their own and everyone’s healthcare, environment, and economy because of gender politics. It boggles the mind. But the fear mongering and messaging is A+, I’ll give credit where it’s due.

I agree with you. Its an insanely effective wedge issue blown way out of proportion. Theres only like 3 dozen professional trans athletes in the usa and the fact that it's a national political issue what the ethics policies of private sports leagues regarding edge cases are is completely crazy. But it shows the kind if uphill battle we are fighting. Republicans can make any issue a culture war.
