How does anyone (who doesn't already realize what's up) not realize the absolute absurdity of what's going on. Like wtf. Pronouns causing problems? Better fucking LEGISLATE it. Like what? The fuck.

Conservative media has been boiling the frog on culture wars since Nixon, and by design.

No one who listens to right wing drivel realizes the absurdity because their version of politics is like football to them: a game to win with the only real consequence being their ability to shove it in people's faces, or shoved in back in theirs.

Conservative media is designed to be that so it is trivially easy to hide actual unfavorable news from their viewers, like $14 billion disappearing over night into Isreal or their god king standing trial on actual, provable charges.

Letting people change their pronouns is really scary, almost as scary as having unfettered access to guns.
