yup.

But they are very good at it.

Kentucky passed a law banning transgendered high school students from sports. In the entire state there is one person affected.

One kid who likes to play field hockey. One.

But these pushbutton issues that have zero effect on voter's lives get the conservatives to rail on social media and get them to the polls. Gay marriage. Hunter's laptop. Benghazi. Hillary drinks baby blood. Disney is evil for having brown characters. Male teachers are grooming students for pedophilia or turning them gay. The Jews are replacing them with migrants to take over the country. Math textbooks are corrupting kids with story questions. The arts are dangerous.

<Sigh>

The problem is this tactic of meaningless fear is very effective. Very. And liberals don't play the same game. Talk about long term policy goals? Yawn. Susie housecoat and Joe sixpack don't give a shit. They don't care about climate tipping points.

It is very effective on the rubes. They want a white Christian nation and don't really care how the strawberries show up at the local market. Just so long as they get cheap diesel for their pick-up truck so they can coal burn a Prius and own the libs.
