@persagen

Republicans care about hurting trans people. It's one of their top priorities.

Republicans don't care about lowering grocery prices, and won't do anything to even try to lower grocery prices, even though it's what won them the election.

@jasonbeets Precisely!
In add. to gerrymandering & by-state (not per capita) representation in U.S. Senate (worsened by filibuster), the failure of governments to address econ./other concerns (crime/inflation/affordability/services) results in incumbents elected OUT of office - both USA/Canada.
GOP (Canada: Poilievre/Conservatives) populist shills dogwhistle populist memes to electoral victory.
"Parental rights" = coded transphobia/transgenocidal wedge tactic, democratic backsliding.
