Are transgender people no longer an effective scapegoat for the GOP? One Texas Republican leader says attacks on gender identity are falling flat in Lone Star State elections.

Former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan told Texas Monthly that Republicans focused too much on culture war issues this election cycle and are paying the price. “We’re just not paying attention to the issues that matter,” he said.

    Wasting resources to persecute a tiny minority of people who barely make up a portion of the population, is always a waste and has always been fascist MO. Nazi Germany’s Holocaust and massacre of Slavs was a waste of time resources as well. Those millions killed by the Nazis could have been useful to actually fight Bolshevism if they really wanted it. The Ukrainians welcomed the Germans as liberators when they invaded. But what did the Germans do? Killed the Ukrainians. Of course, this only made the Bolsheviks only seem less of a bad guy for the Ukrainians, which made the latter welcome back the Soviets.
