Tom Scocca critiques Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's response to the Supreme Court ruling allowing Tennessee to ban medical treatment for trans youth. Schumer's tweet framed the GOP's actions as distractions from healthcare issues; however, Scocca argues that this perspective overlooks the reality of the Supreme Court's motivation. He highlights the absurdity of viewing serious political moves through a lens of tactical messaging, where Democrats prioritize their position over addressing immediate injustices faced by marginalized groups.
The cruel crusade against trans kids is a diversion from ripping healthcare away from millions of Americans. We'll keep fighting and marching on.
Politics is a series of transient messaging opportunities set up to position the party for some political action in the future. Everything is a gambit.
