I can't find the quote, but a Repub said a couple days ago that they would definitely consider the ban "since the trans issue won the GOP the election," or words to that effect.

And now the Dems line up to let the GOP rope them into the issue, again.

So what are you saying CENSORED?? That Sarah McBride shouldn't have ran for Congress??

McBride had every right to run for Congress and the folks in that district had every right to vote for Sarah. However, I don't think this conflict is helping the Dems in any way, shape, or form.

I've said the below before and I'll copy/paste it again:

Translation: Don't fight for injustice because it's inconvenient. That's what I got from reading your post.

Gotta pick your battles. That's how Bill Clinton was able to get elected and re-elected. To appoint a number of SCOTUS justices that protected against injustice for over a decade.

Hillary supported trans rights. So did Kamala. Did you turn out to vote for her? Or did you stay at home or vote third party along with 8 million of your nearest and dearest because those ladies weren't perfect enough for you.

Because I guarantee plenty of people turned out to vote for Trump because he opposed those rights. So why should Dems take a hit for a cause that costs them the office?

But you don't have to take me word for it: "The "progressive" position of the Democratic Party - originally championed by FDR as a practical program for working Americans - was distorted by minority far-left extremist views [...] The Republican ad on this issue saying "she is for they/them and Trump is for you" was devastatingly effective"
