Schools: The left wants teachers and schools to trans my kids.
Infrastructure in General/Public Services: The left defends dangerous hobos, one can't even defend himself from them or risk going to jail like with the Neely case.
Taxation (Total fiscal policy if you will): Fucking Biden, Inflation is eating me alive and his stooges in congress just want to spend more and make the situation worse (BTW Fuck McCArthy, useless piece of shit.).
Welfare State: I don't have anything for this one, but maybe can be linked with the taxation and inflation one.
I imagine those are more or less what they think when they contemplate the left's policies. Something more direct to them, like getting rejected from University or their kids being rejected while Jamal or Tyrone gets in with worse grades would be more important, as getting into a prestigious University (or their children doing it) in their minds, is equivalent to upward mobility and a way to avoid several of the disadvantages of being poor like the enumerated points above.

Most working class people won't go to AA universities, by definition elite unis must only comprise a small proportion of students, and most of those will be middle or upper-middle class
And as more and more racialized politics becomes the mainstream the less there will be any possibility for them to enter. Don't really see how voting for the party that wants them as second class citizens is in their interests.
This wasn't a statement about the advisability of the policy, just pointing out that it shouldn't really govern anyone's voting behavior (on either side as it happens but the discussion here was about working class Republicans)
What issue do you think should be more important to the working class white that would compel them to vote Blue?

In the interview, he made threats against President Biden, saying that he had intended to "get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation," the documents said.
per the rethoric I see of Jan 6th, I don't see anything unusual about this. Good thing he was stopped before he conquered america for the 3rd Reich Civilization style.

You're wrong.
This is consensus building and just your opinion.
If the threat of being banned is enough to adopt themes incompatible with their principles, good riddance to them then.

I know there’s this mythical class of people who would love to participate in productive society but their circumstances have done them wrong; if only they got the right social worker they could turn things around.
I blame Hollywood for that, people are too stupid to avoid being influenced by movies (Good Will Hunting et al). For another example we have the case of silencers in guns.

Maybe he wanted to just knock him out as opposed to restrain him for an indeterminate amount of time?. Being so close to a Vagrant like Neely mustn't be very fun.

compared to the US and its lefty open borders contingent? if they banned weapons in the USA the flow of armaments would just inverse in polarity and it would be Fentanil and assorted drugs PLUS weapons sold. Anoter Fast and Furious fiasco but in the US instead of Mexico.

All the people I know who are most hardline about this type of stuff are Latino, Asian & African immigrants. Which really shouldn’t surprise anyone, seeing as they are the ones actually suffering the consequences of the urban decay brought on by violent, mentally ill homeless.
And they know the results of Anarcho-Tyranny as they come from so many similar places; doubtful they want their refuge to turn into the same as they knew.

Then the market crashes, which is not apocalyptic, and the replacement markets resort to different trusted actor systems.

"What Pension?"

In my corner of the world I see a lot more Women than men wearing masks. And my suspicion is that they do it just to forego Make up for half of their face, instead of for any real concern over Covid.

I thank you for your answers, and while I disagree with the age thing (I even think that the age of consent, for drinking, for military shit should be raised [Kids being the little retards that they are]) I can see where you are coming from. As for the second part (About grooming situations and MAD and what not) I think that if the current environment persists with the trans community and allies incapable or unwilling to police itself, the government (at least majority D ones) and the media just fanning the flames, it will serve to incentivize more malicious actors to join in. As an accelerationist I'm all for it, but I recognize that not everyone is as misanthropic as me (And really the population collapse is going to fuck all before anything else).

if your child is old enough
What range or limit are you thinking about here? 14 and up, less or more?
The way to deal with this is long before your 14-year-old has decided that they are trans, ...
How do you grok this with cases in which the children were groomed secretly by their teachers and they spring this up suddenly to the parents?

It's curious that a bunch of activists managed to do what all the might of the Alcohol and Tobaco industry didn't. Still remember those cigarettes commercials with Doctors seal of approval and whatnot.
I would argue that they are unethical only if you subscribe to the notion of chained morality where you are partly responsible for the actions of those you establish (even if they are ephemeral) relationships with. I'm more of the faction that you aren't partially responsible for the actions of others even if you support them in other endeavors.
