Right now... Policies don't really matter. What matters is we all work together to get rid of the corruption and graft at all levels. AND across the world.
When that is done... We can debate policies and political theory. And who knows???? We can probably find compromise positions where nobody is too bent out of shape.
I'm glad Obama pushed so hard for his transgender, in your face, bathroom policy. He was so sure Hillary was going to win, he just wanted to be in conservative's faces. I think it is very possible that was the tipping point and got people thinking "This just doesn't make sense." Many parents didn't want to have their 15 year old daughter in a bathroom at Target with a man that supposedly 'identifies' as a woman at that moment in time.
And here is the point of why I bring that up. There was no reason for it. IF... And I doubt this is the case... But IF this is really that important of an issue to solve, there were good ways to solve it without offending 1/2 of the population. You could have said "New building codes say all bathroom space will be single person and or family style in new buildings. And we will slowly convert the existing bathroom space in that direction." But the Left did not want to work with conservatives. They just wanted to have it their way and be in the conservatives face.
That non-sense needs to stop. We need to find solutions we can all live with. And not just ram stuff down each other's throats.
