I don’t think the culture wars are anything new. It is just the MAGA movement made it a priority to divide people and it is how they go about things. Anyone remember the Equal Rights Amendment of the 1970s? All it said was that people would have equal rights under law, regardless of sex. Talk about a culture war over those plain words.

What amazes me, is that most of the cultural issues that are so important to Magats involve limiting the rights of others, though the prohibited actions have no effect on the Magats. They place such great importance on transgender women competing in female sports. Whatever association controls the sport in question could make that decision. Trump said he would ban all transgendered women from participating in female sports. I guess he doesn't realize the president of the U.S. does not have that authority. But then, he has alluded to being a dictator in many different ways.

The decision as to how a family deals with a transgender child, including gender altering surgery and treatment, is obviously their issue to decide, in consultation with health experts, and no concern of any Magats. Just as is the case with abortion.

Their attempt to make us a Christian nation stands in stark contrast to the religious guarantees in the first amendment. Our government should be secular and neutral regarding religious decisions, including atheism. Once again, what religion any individual American professes or the choice to be a freethinker has no relevance to them and they should mind their own damn business.

The same goes for book banning and most other culturally divisive issues which Maga leaders use to manipulate their flocks.
