This is just perfect framing.
Especially the “don’t you have anything better to do”?
I was watching donnie supporters (on the Good Liars) claiming that trans is a major concern. They get asked how many trans athletes do they think there are (in NCAA), out of 500K+ athletes.
The answer is less than 10. We are supposed to pretend this is a major concern? Something we need to have all of our policies revolve around? Something that should decide the makeup of Congress? We have to endorse an entire other nexus of fascist bullshit because < 10 trans in something like NCAA??
I know a lot of conservatives seem to struggle with things like literacy and numeracy, but less than 10 divided by greater than 500000 is a vanishingly small percentage.

You’d think that with how big of a deal they’re making and all their campaign ads revolving around it that half of athletes on women’s sports are trans and kids are being dragged out of classes and having sex change surgeries forced on them.

Also, how many people really cared about women’s sports in this country before this became an issue?

They just need someone to blame and one part of voters need someone to hate. It’s much easier to pin everything wrong in the world on preferably a small minority, then promise to get rid of that minority. It’s better than have people really looking at the policies they bring and who actually benefits from those.
