What else are they going to run on, their extremely unpopular economic platform?

Can somebody explain what the "rabid" social views of the incoming GOP class are other than "they questioned the 2020 election results" or "they're a loyal Trumpist"? Have the Republicans actually gotten more extreme in their social views over the last 10 years? Have the Republicans gotten more anti-gay? More pro-drug war? Or has the Overton window moved so far left that opposing CRT in schools is now more right-wing than being against gay marriage was 10 years ago?

No the Overton window has moved so much to the right that teaching that slavery wasn’t a problem and white people should feel good about it has essentially become the central platform of a political party.

Also though, as one of those gay people I can tell you that a GOP Congress would absolutely do everything it can to legalize discrimination against us, legislate who can pee where, and deny young people who want them medical treatment.

I don’t get what’s so hard to understand about the Republicans and conservatism. Their whole point is that the past and it’s ruthless, hierarchical culture is somehow preferable to progress, literally the only thing that has advanced the human species. And accordingly they have invented an entire cinematic universe of conspiracy theories and alternative facts to justify their Sisyphean effort to go backwards in time (because all they ever do when they are in power is cut their donors taxes anyway).

How stupid do you have to be to think that anyone is calling slavery a good thing?

Also, your "them" above is grammatically incorrect, and should at the least be replaced by a their or preferably removed.
