Try it. The conservative media will have a field day with lies and the public is easily swayed by fear. They are going to come for our guns, our children will become gay or trans, them minorities will get the upper hand. I don’t think that’s a hill you want what’s left of our democracy to die on. Oh yeah moderates who don’t like major change will vote against it.
