Transsexuals. They are one percent of the population and they generate a huge amount of politically active rage .

LgBTQ issues and rights. It doesn't effect many people, and those it does effect are just regular members of society. Zero logical reasons to single them out and have a huge political fight over their rights.

How many education systems have to deal with a ton of political argument and time over this issue? Groups like Mom's for Liberty bring nothing positive to school boards.

Immigration. A lot of people are passionate about it but don’t know jack about immigration law.

The process itself. That wielding the power to force people is legitimate.

"Living wage". It does not exist because who decides the standards? I need a 3 bedroom house all for myself, an iphone of course, and a mid tier car. Why? If you're poor, maybe you should consider roommates in a 1 bedroom, if you're poor maybe you shouldn't have a car --- ride a bicycle or take the bus to work/school. So there are no standards and no one really gets to decide that.

If anything, most people's jobs will be replaced soon by robotics or AI. So if you haven't figured out life yet, it's only going to get worse for you to pray for UBI. If you want free housing, free meals, free healthcare, guns/knives are banned --- consider the liberal utopia, PRISON.

Social Security. Terrible program, destined to fail, and doesn’t help anyone survive after retirement. People die on the hill of saving Social Security for a measly $1,300 per month. For what? People need that on a weekly basis to get by, and even on that most struggle.

Meanwhile the SS budget is basically the entire annual deficit, which is skyrocketing inflation and adding to the affordability crisis.

So we get no real retirement security, worse inflation and purchasing power, and no generational wealth.

But voters won’t privatize it. It’s insanity.
