    this meme is dumb and short-sighted and the commenters are right.

    it isnt a culture war conservatives are inciting, it is a war on civil rights.

      In much of the public’s eye, it is a culture war. That’s what determined their vote and support.

      The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires.

      Always has been.

        The public gets things wrong, that’s why it’s important to set the record straight rather than serve up pablum.

        “The whole point of eroding civil rights is to help billionaires…”

        claiming an absolute regarding complex and differentiated issues is how you know something is pablum.

        The long-term conservative judicial and legislative campaign the meme incorrectly refers to has a lot to do with race and religion, for example.

        “Always has been”.

        this is just a line from a short-sighted meme that is often incorrectly used, including here by you. it’s a fun phrase that means nothing, it’s confetti stuck in your sock.
