24. May be, may be referring to all the grievances that some embrace.

Victimization messages are what I'm objecting to. They appeal to a type. Like those women who actually choose to characterize themselves as helpless "Handmaid" style sex slaves instead of very pissed-off and empowered voters. (Good god, could some leaderless wannbe feminists have wandered off and fallen down this rabbit hole? Someone needs to tell them a "fourth wave" is not playing out on its backs in the dark.)

Seriously, the most positive interpretation I'm imagining is that grievance/victimization politics are HUGE these days among RW voters, and maybe this PA rep is trying to twang a chord she knows resonates with both the type on the left and hopefully even larger numbers on the right.
