When centrists say “focus on kitchen table issues” they don’t actually mean focus on universal material issues. It’s just a cudgel to try to crack the left and make them think nothing should be done on anything. Most of his vetoes have been against straightforward material concerns, not mandating trans flags on paper straws.
It’s not that they figured out the problem independently but were too stupid to come to a rational solution. It’s that their propaganda sources know these are problems and are proactively introducing them and providing nutty solutions so when they’re raised naturally the issue will both validate the conservative end goals and be vaguely idiotic to the liberals.
“Every accusation is a confession” is real, even for things that seemed kind of outlandish like the elite pedophile cabal. I’m seriously concerned that the various baby blood and baby cannibalism conspiracy theories also aren’t just creative fiction by addled minds.
Here’s a hint to election officials: You don’t have to wait for the Supreme Court to confirm an unconstitutional thing is unconstitutional. The idea that everything he says is true until the court says otherwise is part of the problem. He’s the federal executive trying to tell state employees to do something. He doesn’t hold any authority or power over you, emergency or no.
