we see very clearly in public polling that people in california and D.C. hate the deployments and that americans broadly disapprove of them, but here we have an assertion that the smart strategy is to avoid any discussion of the situation in favor of a pivot to, you guessed it, kitchen table issues.

Because the real issue is with voter supression and inaccessibility, not with inoffensive words (that give humanity to minorities) that dems rarely use in the first place. If you don't help minorities then you'll have fascism again

Conservatives act intentionally abrasive so that they can make the opposing side appear less cordial or rational than them when they clip their tweets or voicelines out of context. That's why debate is useless with them.

People are wasting their time if they're arguing with conservatives. Third parties and lurkers aren't convinced by arguments, just by tone/vibes.

You have to take power dynamics into context. Which group has the power to form laws protecting queer people, pro-LGBT politicians or pro-LGBT charities? It's the former. People don't like Scott Mcawthorn because he gave money to anti-LGBT politicians who used their power to restrict LGBT rights.

Racism Lore is pretty insane when you really dig into it. For example, the stereotype that black people are lazy comes from rednecks being unable to conceive of alternate reasons why the person you enslaved, tore away from her family, and raped would not want to work for you unless forced to do so.
