Because the conservatives have been in power for so long they can’t point at the previous Labour government any more, which is a problem for them, because they are making people’s material conditions steadily worse. And people are noticing.
Which would be manageable if the Tories had literally anything to offer people to make their material conditions better, but they don’t. So instead they have to offer them culture war stuff to be mad about instead. They offer plenty of that. Trans stuff just seems to be what’s stuck.
God knows why? I don’t get it. But I guess in the uk the war on the homosexual has basically been lost. And try as we might the war on brown people is considered too mask off to get popular support. I guess trans people have ended up the ‘socially acceptable’ other.
