Just to clarify the point: Republicans only shriek about issues like transgenderism to put the focus on these non-issues, away from real issues like healthcare, poverty and inequality, war, climate change, etc..

Inflation is out of control. Housing is unaffordable. The healthcare system is broken. Everyone is drowning in student debt. Ecosystems are collapsing. We're constantly on the brink of war.
This is a better description of Trump's presidency than Biden's, especially right now when inflation is not out of control, and Biden has done everything he can to forgive student loans.
I mean none of these things got better under any president in recent memory, they just got eroded a lot less quickly under certain ones
Didn't Obama try to come up with a healthcare solution that was undermined by conservatives? Which Trump tried to neuter as hard as possible?
Didn't Biden try to forgive student loans, which conservatives kept stopping?
I feel the "both sides are doing it" argument isn't entirely true.

If they want a dick pick. All they have to do is ask.
I won’t judge.
if they did that you'd see them asking 6 year old kids
Too late.
Well, I don’t have that. But if they want to be specific I’ll be happy to refer them to the appropriate department…

The older I get the more apt this aphorism becomes:
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
Of course those genitals are important! If they don’t do that, then their god will not magically fix said problems. They themselves are of course powerless to do anything about it. Far too busy lining their and their donors pockets!
They've missed the entire point. It's about manufacturing outrage to distract from things people should really care about.

Meh. The illusion starts to fade at the mention of student debt and totally broken with the word "ecosystems". Need to dial up the conservative and make it about how jobs don't pay enough or how much you have to run the AC now days. Also, not sure about the war part being bad in a conservative view, rather it's that we don't really win wars anymore.
When it's a conservative president: We are protecting our country from brown people.
When it's a democratic president: we are wasting funds attacking no-name countries instead of making gas cheaper

If conservatives want to be a part of the solution, they can be. But they aren't.
Newt Gingrich was the last Republican to create policy and even he is problematic.
The only way conservatives can be part of the solution is if they take themselves out of the equation.
