    Considering that the #3 Republican candidate for president, and your preferred nominee, is literally running a campaign where his entire platform is ‘I hate these groups of people even more than Donald trump’ I question whether you are attempting sincere discourse either.

    If you are talking about DeSantisI thought he was #2 in the polls but whatever, that doesn’t matter.

    Probably you consider “hateful” laws across the country, including California, that control medical decisions minors can make for themselves. Certainly it varies from state to state and adolescents have more autonomy than five-year-olds, but all in all it is society’s role to protect children. That has existed for a long time, in modern times anyway.

    “Protecting children” is a big broad generalization. As is considering those laws “hateful. “

    The grievance industrial complex requires an increasingly large supply of “hate” to continue to grow and prosper. Organizations like the SPLC need to dig ever deeper to list groups like PTA moms or the American College of Pediatricians to fuel the industry. The FBI looks at school board dissidents and traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists. Low level state bureaucrats compile lists of accusations for unspecified purposes. More and more people depend on a steady supply of hate for their paychecks.

    Probably not exclusively from Rachel Maddow.

    tell me, has Rachel covered any of these issues?

    Indeed. I wonder when republicans will realize that being the white grievance party is not a winning strategy with an ever increasingly diverse electorate.

    It wasn't simply his opinion, each scenario he mentioned is real, yet largely ignored by media and Democrats.

    Just about anywhere well informed people congregate, subscribe to, visit, peruse, discuss or lurk. MSNBC, CNN and New York Times excluded of course.
