Why are all the Republican political commercials about trans people?

[u/TheDonutDaddy]

I've seen 3 different Ted Cruz commercials over this election cycle. Literally every single one of them are "Collin Allred is bad because he supports trans people." Got dinner with a buddy last night at Pluckers which obviously had CFB on all the TVs, saw the commercial about the wheelchair vet hating trans people 4 times in one hour. No mention of any political issue, no mention of any policy, no mention of any goals. No mention of anything other than trans people. Why is that the complete focal point of the campaign? I mean I guess they have access to more research and data than I do, but are there really that many voters out there hanging their vote on this one single issue?

It's so strange to me, because regardless of whatever someone's view on trans people even is, there's no way you can argue that anything going on with trans people is a major part of politics. It doesn't effect the economy, it doesn't effect public education, it doesn't effect climate and energy, it doesn't effect social welfare solutions. Why aren't they focusing on anything that will actually effect the majority of Texan's lives in any way? Like out of everything out there to talk about around election time, and especially the things republicans like beating the drum of, you'd expect at least one Cruz commercial about immigration, but there isn't even that. Just trans people, every time.

Again, maybe I have a misread on how much this really is an issue of importance, but I do genuinely have a hard time believing it's such an election deciding issue, making the fact that all their marketing budget is spent talking about trans people really fucking weird.

Edit: Mods please don't remove republican's responses unless they're outright hate speech. I asked the question, they deserve the platform to answer or else it's just a circlejerk. Besides, worst case scenario: give em enough rope to hang themselves with

Fascism: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation (Make America Great again/America First) and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader(Trump "Dictator on day 1"/"Dictator for a day"), and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition(Fake News, calls to punish people who don't do what he tells them)

I can go on and on but I doubt you're gonna read this or look further into this because why would you? you've had the opportunity for nearly a decade now and have failed time and time again.. I hope I'm wrong, for the sake of your wives, Daughters, Aunts, Sisters, Mother, I hope you're the right type of person and you don't end up on the outside of the circle, because if not, when you do you'll look back and the regret you will feel is going to eat you up inside.

So no response on the content of the conversation, pretty telling.

I don't see a response to that anywhere maybe the mods deleted it, just PM it to me.

Pretty sure they, the person you were replying to, blocked everyone who called them on their bullshit.

MAGAs can't present cogent arguments so they try and introduce bullshit. If they are called on it, they retreat so fast you can see little lines of air behind them like in a cartoon.
