Veraticus comments on A majority of Republicans now say same-sex relations are immoral after a year of 'groomer' attacks on the LGBTQ community

This was always the point of the "groomer" rhetoric and the attacks on trans people; the total removal of rights for LGBTQ people. Just like assaults on abortion access, where the point is to eventually remove all women's rights.

It's so coordinated and long-term-planned-out. I wish the news covered it with a bit more context, instead of sometimes writing as if these events are all unrelated and these are just 'natural' shifts in public opinion.

I wish the left (the real left, not corporate Democrats) were half as good at strategy as conservatives are. It's a shame such brilliance is wasted on the worst people on the planet.

When the vast majority of people get “the news” from outlets that are all ultimately owned by a few specific billionaires … this is a surprise outcome to you?

Surprise, no. But it is very disheartening.
