Not to give excuses for people but it’s also perfectly reasonable to express concern for something that directly affects one’s daily life, rather than before an abstract system of domination.
Moral evaluation is overridden when one’s purchasing power and thus livelihood is threatened. The Yellow Vests in France started because of a gas price hike, and then transformed into a political movement. The Boston Tea Party into the American Revolution. Police Corruption in Tunisia into the Arab Spring… It always starts with concrete issues and then expands in critic of the system.
But at the same time those same people are in panic about stuff like trans people and public bathrooms. Which has never and will never affect them personally.

I’d bet 99% of those idiots have either never met or seen a trans person, or even more likely had no idea if they did. Its a complete distraction.
In france we don’t elect known rapist pedophiles though, your thought process is flawed IMO.
Nah you elect the victim. Jk, jk…
No indeed, instead of being elected they get appointed as members of the government by Emmanuel Macron
I 100 percent think this thought process is what got us here in the first place.
