    The vast majority of trump voters are voting for him because of social issues, not economics.

      Does “social issues” mean anything other than “their religion is hating their fellow Americans”?

      Yeah, the Culture War ever continues. Are people going to be as worried about trans kids if they have good jobs and their community has a future?

        Depends on if they are told to do so by their cult of personality. Almost all of those people lack critical thinking, and just blindly follow groupthink. The ones that do have critical thinking skills are the ones doing the grifting.

        Whoever has, or plans to have kids would worry that someone may implant weird ideas into their heads in school and then make them go through irreversible, grotesque medical surgeries without the parents consent.

              Point you missed at the very start:

              *…allows host homes for runaway youth “to house youth without parental permission.” …the host homes do not need to notify parents about where their kids are or if they are getting medical interventions “if there is a compelling reason not to, which includes a youth seeking protected health services.”

              The “protected health care services” included “gender-affirming care,” which for minors arbitrarily included anything prescribed by a doctor to treat dysphoria…*

              The article is talking about when a young’s person parents cannot be safely contacted. This is talking about general healthcare too, and that includes gender care.

              My point still stands, nobody is giving medical surgeries without consent.

      You only need to peel off a few thousand voters from key areas to close down paths to victory though.

      Explain to me how this economy is worse now than when he inherited it from the disaster that was Trump’s term.
