Not everyone is going to agree with Democrats.

We got cornered in 2016 on tg bathrooms, and in 2024 on tg sports. We needed to frame the issue on tolerance, minority rights. In such a broad and diverse country the majority sets policy and wins elections but the genius of America is to respect minority rights to the greatest extent possible. That is what Trump is 100% failing on right now. Intolerance. My way or the highway.
