This is a dumb narrative that leads to petty bickering while we are currently living under literal fascism. The reason they elected a fascist is because they desire change from the status quo. Pronouns are not a positive change for most people. So of course they will pick a fascist over that platform, if that's all it has to offer. The left has to get real, and I mean realpolitik. We have real solutions to offer these people. That's what the message should focus on. Inclusion is a given with leftism. DEI is corporate virtue signaling.

How is the status quo not the goal of conservatism? It's literally in the name.

Republican voters and non voters are absolutely against the changes they are seeing come from left-leaning or liberal populations. The status quo is literally to not change what already is.

Ever heard of doublespeak? Nothing in American politics means what it says on the tin. Just like how Dems are the "left." Modern right wing movement that supports Trump is populist.

agree, the inclusion movement went too far into dictating how people should behave and cancelling people on the basis of any perceived offenses and that gave electoral leverage to the current president

The inclusion movement hasn't gone too far. It's been turned into a lightning rod for Dems to banter about and clutch their pearls over without actually offering any real solutions to the problems people face.

there was plenty of things besides pronouns that dems had to offer. like boosting new homeowners and offering incentives to new families having babies. racism and misogyny overruled it though. "i'm gonna ban all muslims and mexican are rapists!" won out.

America is looking at the proverbial mirror and realizing its full of racist, morons and people who think women can't lead; and no amount of 'well Kamala and Clinton didn't get me excited and offer me anything' will excuse that.

I have no idea what policies you're talking about in regards to homeownership and child incentives, and I'm extremely well read on politics. So yeah, 100% that the average American doesn't either.

Kamala literally said this in her speeches. Maybe the average american is a dumb fuck I guess?

I don’t support fascism but we need a real plan to defeat it.

Thanks for not paraphrasing the whole post so you could make yourself seem sooooo virtuous and good by comparison. You failed miserably but you sure did try!
