    I’m not surprised. They can’t win at anything else, so they create an artifical wedge issue to splinter multiple coalitions of voters while simultaneously making it more difficult for them to vote. This makes the republican party stronger despite their support being largely anemic. Gerrymandering doesn’t help, but democrats don’t vote in high enough numbers.

    They will continue to pry away women, queer people, and POC while simultaneously shouting that “voting won’t do anything, why even bother?” To standard groups. And young people will buy it and think the only way to change is through protests, not voting.

    There. I just disassembled the republican playbook in 5 minutes. Watch it work.
