I hadn't seen that response from El-Sayed. Interesting that other Democrats who refuse to stand 10 toes down on trans human rights aren't just following his template.

More conservatives have turned to no-fault divorce as a “family values” talking point, with some pushing to make it harder for couples to divorce. They've relaunched a conversation that would have been nearly unthinkable just a few years ago. stateline.org/2026/09/11/d...

Sheriffs are a HUGE problem nationwide & their lack of accountability is a main underlying cause. This is a promising sign of how to starting fixing things:
Reformers in Pierce County, Washington, say that appointing, rather than electing, sheriffs would boost oversight. Voters this fall will decide on that reform.

It is so surreal for me for this discussion to be happening amid the smoldering remains left behind by a successful 60-year right-wing elite effort to change public opinion. Of course they can change public opinion!
Let's assume for the sake of argument that political elites cannot affect public opinion, only pander to it.
Even then, you must anticipate trends in public opinion. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to anticipate that an internal masked authoritarian police force will soon become unpopular.
