Are transgender people no longer an effective scapegoat for the GOP? One Texas Republican leader says attacks on gender identity are falling flat in Lone Star State elections.
Former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan told Texas Monthly that Republicans focused too much on culture war issues this election cycle and are paying the price. “We’re just not paying attention to the issues that matter,” he said.
Relentlessly attacks the rights of subset of US citizens.
Criticized for ‘not resonating’.
“Yo Hittler, could you ease up on the whole murdering Jewish people thing? The rest of the globe isn’t really vibing with it.”
He’s criticizing the target, not the tactic. Maybe something more racist since his constituents have actually seen and been scared of a black person.
