What I think is most damaging to Democrats is that there are a lot of people now in their 30's and 40's who experienced, first-hand, US liberals saying they don't want to trans the kids, they don't want to shove gay rights down people's throats, they don't want to take away all guns, they don't want to eliminate borders, and so on, only for the same liberals to promote all of these things less than a decade later. There are a lot of things you can say about the Republicans and all their retarded shenanigans, but at least they aren't trying to use government authority to take your child away, turn him or her into a tranny, hand them off to a state-sanctioned predator, and then reward themselves for the privilege.
All I ever see in opposition to this is fence-sitting ("they're both bad, I want a magic third option to appear from the aether!") or bog-standard Eurotrash mumbo jumbo.
