Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We've got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.

Two explanations for that.

The first is G O Projection. Accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing, and then you can "both sides" it.

The second is that the things they point at aren't at are either social and not legislative (cancel culture, wokeness, etc), legislative protections rather than acts of aggression (protected groups), or incidentally involve culture (guns).

But honestly, it's primarily projection and then attempts to justify it.
