    It’s a wedge issue. That’s all that matters to them.

    First, they don’t give a fuck about those people.

    Second, intentional vagueness that can be weaponized. Be as heinous as humanly possible to keep the base talking about it.

    Third, exaggerate issues that moderates care about like bathrooms, sports, and regretted transitions.

    Fourth, ideally for them, the left will talk about all the heinous shit and not address the actual discussions.

        Class warfare, basically. These “wedge issues” are used to distract and break solidarity within the working class so that the elites can continue to exploit them.
