Is it that with these silly little dramas the important work of organizing and offering a counteroffensive to the near lethal blows to our country and culture are eliminated?

While I balk at "silly" and "little," yes, I believe these "dramas" are the core issues around which a resistance can coalesce. For one very simple reason ...

Rebelling against ideologies requires organizing against an abstraction, something vague and ethereal. Many people lack that ability. However, present them with something concrete, like the image of their daughter being ogled by some greasy thug in a skin-tight miniskirt while she's trying to tinkle, and they naturally recoil.

The Left intentionally tries to keep its predations abstract. That's why they speak of "Gay Pride," instead of "Sexual Deviancy." It's why they talk about "White Privilege," which even they themselves can't define. And it's why they use terms like "Social Justice" and "Income equality" instead of "reverse racism" and "higher taxes."

No one's going to go to war with Post-modern Nihilism. But people might get up in arms over exposing their children to bathroom deviants. It takes the battle out of the clouds and down to earth.
