There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents. 533625735

Carl @cmwd.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This is correct, and true nationally too. All the things we argue about on here relating to what gets Democrats elected or not won't be why Democrats win. They're going to win because Republicans are destroying the country. And that's why Democrats shouldn't be shy about policy. 010
