My guess is that about half of the American public has lost all ability to think rationally or critically. They jump on whatever bandwagon is rolling by, even if the wagon is about to hurtle off a cliff.
The gullibility and stupidity of some people is hard to accept, but true. And their vote counts the same as ours.
True, many people have been conditioned to be non-judgemental about everything, because if you are critical of anything being pushed by the left, , then you are racist/sexist/homophobic, etc.
So on the issue of gender surgeries on children, people are afraid of being called “transphobic” if they were to say they oppose these treatments.
I think there is a collective fear of the left, and what the left will say about you, if you openly oppose any aspect of the social/political agenda of the left.
Many people just want to “fit in” with everyone else. They’ll go along with anything, just to be part of the crowd.
They don’t think for themselves. They let their social circle do their thinking for them.
Also how many people even understand what the question is about and what it entails? Thing is you could have simply asked these same people to sign a petition asking that children not be allowed to be mutilated and these same people would have signed it
