I suspect the person you are responding to is suggesting that these culture war issues are merely meant to distract from the real problem, which is wealth inequality. Many of the people worried about 'moral fabric' are fine with divorce and sexual assault (and will vote for politicians with these compromised moral values) but are also concerned about trans athletes who by most metrics comprise less that .01% of all athletes.

Had a family member who has said he cares NOTHING for sports - they bore him to tears - make several posts on FBook about the "horrible injustice" being perpetrated on female athletes. It's clear where he got his talking points from (Fox, etc)

What about all the recent drama over the Epstein list, which comprise less than 0.01% of Americans?

There's a difference between "I don't like this thing that you're legally allowed to do and I think it should be illegal" and "these people possibly participated in illegal activities with trafficked minors".

Your math is way off. Epstein's list contains compromised people on positions of power who decide policy affecting 99% of Americans plus a lot of people around the world.

Compromised politicians, scientists and media figures can be used against the interests of more than 100% of Americans if we include wars and the damage done to foreigners.
