The GOP is quickly becoming a party defined by issues on which 70% of the population disagrees with them. Dobbs and gun regulation has exposed this, and now same goes for GOPs increasing embrace of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and policies. And yet this race is 50/50. Gift link. wapo.st/3VvKTju

The fuck is "sudden" or "increasing" about it? This has been their policy my entire life (I'm 42).

I was just trying to think of when the last time people's positions on the "issues" were so separated from their party preferences. I'm not the first to say it, but many people don't believe you when you tell them what the GOP stands for these days.

Those disagreements are not strong enough for 70% of the population to vote Republicans out. Sure, people support abortion, but that means nothing as long as they vote Republican. The issues are not as important as those people perceive will enrich them.

They lost their fight against LGB so they are going after trans folks with a violence that is disturbing to say the least. Thing is, even most on the left are not likely to know anyone who is trans as opposed to LGB, so trans folks are at severe risk right now.

They have convinced themselves that their insanity is popular, largely by defining the populace down. I can’t help but think that the misfeatures of the US constitutional order really encourage this way of thinking.

On issues like same-sex marriage, it would be more appropriate to say we are an 80/20 - 45/55 nation...that is, if you don't count the ~30% of Americans who identify as Republicans, then 80% of us support same-sex marriage. But support among the GOP fraction of us is <50% and waning.

If we didn’t have so many anti-majoritarian processes this wouldn’t be possible. The Senate, SCOTUS, and Electoral College are all anti-majoritarian institutions. The House doesn’t have to be, but it is due to gerrymandering.

Curious whether you think there are structural or geographic advantages baked into the anti-LGBTQ movmt, or maybe a matter of asymmetric intensity, or some other effects?

Yeah, but when you've Gerrymandered the key districts and bought the Supreme Court ..who cares what 70% of ANYBODY disagrees with?
