I mean, I think if the public actually understood what the proposed change would have meant, they’d be strongly opposed to it. But that’s what distraction and generating confusion is all about.

The Republican Party has had some success casting this as an issue of “religious freedom,” as absurd and stupid as that seems. The persecution angle always seems to work with the right.
