@parkermolloy I think deep down, everyone knows that. But politicians need a moral panic to allow them to distract their constituents from legislation that sets an incredibly dangerous precedent. Before trans people, it was sam sex marriage, Video Game Violence, the Satanic Panic of the 80s, Hippies, Civil Rights, Elvis's "Rock and Roll", Communism, Women Voters, Prohibition -- the list goes on. It's why they love war so much. It's hard to be on the wrong side of history when you're "at war."
