Prominent Conservoid Politician Escalates Attacks on Disempowered Group

2022-02-23 NBC: Texas governor calls on citizens to report parents of transgender kids for abuse

Some relevant narratives to keep in mind:

«Dems are divisive» (from elsewhere): here we have a clear example of a major GOP contender making a deliberate effort to further polarize the country around the issue of transgenderness
«GOP supports small government» (from elsewhere): said GOP leader is inviting professionals to betray confidences to the state, so the state can punish parents for improper political alignment
«allowing children proper transgender medical care is child abuse» (implied or stated here): obviously untrue, but it's good for rage-farming the gullibles

Anyone supporting this monstrosity is being deeply incivil and hostile to their many trans and trans-ally neighbors.

(I was going to do a post about incivility and conservoid narratives, but I'm still working on it and this didn't feel like it should wait.)
