It's called the "LibsofTikTok Effect"

The right has painted an extreme caricature of Democrats and instead of Democrats responding by saying "that's silly, get real"... they defend whatever is mocked in the video.

99% of the GOP believes the "kitty litter boxes in school classrooms for kids who identify as cats" hoax.

It was always a hoax.

But no one pushed back, only saying "Don't be a bigot" as if defending the fake premise of the hoax.
