I agree with Vosem's analysis here. My personal write-in, though, is the conservative Catholic "BUT ABORTION" deflection from Trump's immigration/environmental/welfare/labor/(etc. etc. etc.) policies--not because it's a uniquely inane or irrelevant point to bring up, but because it's had a uniquely toxic effect on environments and movements about which I care deeply.

I of course agree that the focus on abortion above all of Trump’s egregious actions is ridiculous, but if one truly views abortion as murder, then you can understand why they might ignore all other issues as paling in comparison to abortion in terms of significance.
