I fully support avoiding social issues. The standard reply should be: Let the states decide.

What a load of destructive nonsense.

What are called "social issues" are actually questions of whether or not unalienable, natural, God-given rights will be protected in America.

If states "can decide" them, they're no longer unalienable.

But, in fact, the raison d'etre of government in America, all government, including the national government, is to protect the unalienable rights of the people, all the people, equally.

“What a load of destructive nonsense.”

It’s destructive nonsense to get caught up in social issues when there are so many things that are easier to fix. Lower taxes, cut spending, appointing non-activist judges and so on.

When these are fixed, move on to other issues.

“But, in fact, the raison d’etre of government in America, all government, including the national government, is to protect the unalienable rights of the people, all the people, equally.”

Exactly. That’s why it should stay the hell out of social issues.
