Exactly. And that pivot happened right after they lost their fight against gay marriage.

They don’t care about trans people or gay marriages.

They care about having a wedge that will scare enough bigots into handing them power so they can rob us all.

Nah - that's part of the thing, all this "trans people are in the loos" has _been_ happening... and there was no problem.

It's like if I went on a campaign going "If women can hold credit cards, the economy will crash!" and no-one went "Hang on, women *have* credit cards already. It's not new."

and their first attempt (bathroom bills) was a flop so they pivoted to trans women playing sports and found the right wedge
Gavin Newsom admitted outright that the sports issue made him reconsider, meaning he got duped in exactly the way his opposition wanted

We have a bathroom bill in the UK. So how was it a flop?

Children's sports are way easier to make up misleading statistics about since no one actually pays attention to them.

Nobody is "duped" on this unless they want to be.

Newsom wasn't duped, he's an insect with no soul.
