Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
Neo-neocon was distributing some social survey results the other day. The overwhelming majority of voters of all affiliations oppose the use of surgery and puberty blockers on minors. And, yet, it’s a matter of public controversy and the side of justice is barely holding its own right now.
If republicans were intelligent (ha!) and strategic (chortle), in the homestretch they would hammer on trans-ideology and force each of their opponents to prove he or she is not a groomer or supportive of groomers. And it’s not as if that can’t dovetail from or even to economic issues; point out that while inflation is out of control and the economy is going to hell, my opponent is focused on having a groomer shake his junk in the face of your daughter. It is a no-lose message as the Karens who take their kids to these things are never going to vote for you. Republicans, if they want to retain the new coalitions they are gaining, need to make a concerted effort to fight the culture war, which is important to those coalitions.
This link goes along nicely with the post about what the Vatican thinks of us. I noted the incident there, but here is the link.

Likely the rubes are cognizant of the fact that politics are one huge conspiracy to screw them.
From DJH’s link;
This is America in 2022, and I don’t want to live in this universe.
No one, in authority of this make believe administration, will be adult.
They are ALL playing make believe and it’s costing us everything.
I loathe them.
Here in Gretchen Newsome ‘s Glorious People’s Republic, my modest rural town has been gerrymandered into political oblivion by attaching it, via an umbilical highway corridor, to a much larger, wealthier suburban area (call it “Karenistan”) an hour away on the coast. I am out of here as soon as possible.
Art, it’s pretty much media SOP that ‘controversial’ means ‘not liberal.’ I remember when GetReligion did a piece on how, when the vast majority of Americans opposed gay marriage, it was still always presented as ‘controversial’ to oppose gay marriage. Once the numbers switched, and more Americans supported gay marriage, it remained ‘controversial’ to oppose gay marriage.
