The Overton Window is not a slippery slope, argument, you simpleton, and your suggestion as such only confirms that you don't understand what it is. It's a legitimate and widely used political strategy used to get policy passed. This is a mainstream concept that was discussed ad nauseum in my poli-sci classes. It's the whole reason I brought it up with regards to the trans movement. The political left uses radicals to push extreme ideas (ones outside of the mainstream discussion), not to pass that radical policy, but to make the policy they want seem acceptable to the public. The problem is that their progressive base, who is loud and naive, buy completely into the extreme positions and push that so much that moderates actually start entertaining it. This is where you come in.
The right can't utilize it the same way because, up until recently, their arguments have largely been part of the public narrative. The only reason that has changed is due to the effectiveness of the left's use of this strategy and their ability to control the narrative. It's simple. Sorry you can't see it, and annoyed your think it's a slippery slope argument. You can't say puberty blockers save lives on a whim. That's asinine, and your prozac argument doesn't follow. Sorry pal. |
