Perhaps a better, real-world example is that this moral calculus says that the Democrats should abandon trans people and trans issues. The logic is inescapable: Trans issues turn away a lot of voters, and it’s a really strong talking point for the other party. If they win, the Democrats could protect the LGB community, and women’s rights.
Surely it’s better to protect the LGB community and women’s rights, but not trans people, than to protect none of them, right?
(NB: This is rhetorical. I don’t believe it.)
Glad you said this because there’s literally someone else in this very comment section arguing exactly this. Sick to my stomach.
It’s not rhetorical. It’s literally currently being proposed as a strategy by the “Harris went too woke” crowd.
Oh Lord… 😔
Who will they tip over the side next?
whomever they think they can blame and get away with it.
Exactly. When every national poll shows things like trans rights are more nationally popular, because they want to chase the republican vote so bad than to concede anything to their leftist base.
well the correct answer is actually a little bit subversive, instead of supporting trans people directly, you just subtly reinforce ideas of support for queer people broadly. And then actually do that.
the right will most likely still make shit up, but at least now it’s not clear as day.
