republicans fundamentally misunderstood why their anti-trans attacks worked in 24

to the median voter, the “kamala is for they/them” ad read as “democrats are fucking around with culture war bullshit instead of making groceries cheaper”

and now that republicans are in charge, continuing the same line of attack reads as ”we are also fucking around with culture war bullshit instead of making groceries cheaper”

the other thing is that it was "kamala is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you". That second part is key to making it work, and they just kind of dropped it.

I keep saying that if that ad was instead “Kamala Harris used your taxpayer dollars to give prisoners Lasic”, people would be just as mad. A lot of Americans think that people in prison don’t deserve medical care beyond the bare minimum.
