    Attacking trans people will eventually give way to something else, as it has before. When push comes to shove, family normally overrides politics. The more things they attack, the more chance it has of hitting somebody they care about.

    Racism will always work though, because no middle class white kid ever came home and said “Mom. Dad. There’s no easy way to say this… I’m black.”

      Dating a black guy/gal can sometimes prompt some introspection. Not as often as I’d like, but sometimes.

      There must always be an “other” for conservatism to work, because they need that other to hate, and to feel superior to, so they don’t notice/give care to how much their own policies and the ones they support are destroying their own livelihoods.
