Are they really that weird? Or is this merely an effort to divert attention from their piss-poor nominee?

2. I was cynically suspecting

3. It divides people...

As long as you've got an issue out there that pits folks against one another, they won't work together and take on the people in power.

4. They love the wedge issue.

A wedge works to open a door. They can get people to vote for them based on the thinnest part of the wedge, ie. some meaningless bullshit issue (restroom access), and then when they get elected, they slide through the wide part of the wedge, ie. the really dangerous policy actions, like bogus wars or social security privatization, that have disastrous effects for the poor and middle class.

Other wedge issues include hatred of people of color, abortion, false claims of vote fraud.

They've got a new one every election cycle. This year seems to be peepee obsession.

6. They accuse us of the same thing wrt guns...

but it's not the same thing at all. It's about safety. You have no rights if one of those gun owners decide to kill you.

5. From Tea Party to Pee Party

7. They are standing firm on this issue ...

because they have broad-based support due to a wide stance.
