Looks like a lot of so-called conservatives want to sit out the culture war.

Maybe our elite conservatives themselves don't know how to tell a boy from a girl.

Or saving themselves for a big fight over marginal tax rates on capital gains.

The fear is that DeSantis will play up the culture war stuff and sell out on trade, immigration, and other issues. I don’t say that’s true, but it has happened before.

The problem with these “culture wars” is that conservatives surrender on the most important, fundamental issue as soon as they engage in the battle.

Case in point …

Look at how much attention has been given to school board battles over LGBTQWERTY nonsense in public schools, or “drag shows” in public libraries, or males competing in women’s high school and college sports.

These are the wrong battles to fight. Conservatives shouldn’t be fighting to get trannies out of libraries or boys out of girls high school sports. Conservatives should be fighting to get the government the hell out of schools and libraries, period.

I’ll give DeSantis some credit on this when he stands up and takes THAT political stance.

Right, that green eyeshade stuff makes everyone’s eyes glaze over. It’s the cultural stuff like trannies in women’s sports or parental rights in schools that gets people motivated.

That’s because it isn’t their children being groomed or maybe they are part of it.
I thought it strange that trump is endorsing groomers at Disney, but he loves the Lincoln republicans. Big tent with no principles doesn’t win votes. Doesn’t ensure freedom.
