This latest lurch has been to decouple parental rights, sexualize children and mutilate them in the name of “gender affirming care”. It scares me to see what their next heave will be.

I'd like to know what percentage of the mainstream Democrat voters actually approve of the Party's movement in this direction, as a stand-alone question.

Not many, but they won't speak out. Mainly because the left stick together. Regardless of party path, maintaining an image of unanimity is of supreme importance. But also because of retribution. The Chinese developed a social credit system to keep the masses in check. Today's social and mainstream media essentially does the same thing. Upvote a social media post that doesn't toe the party line? You're punished, even going so far as to endanger livelihoods. 

Look at Bill Maher. Some on the left have already called for him to be cancelled because he dares to challenge the party line and some even went so far as to claim he was a tool of the right. Bill Maher!

Joe Rogan was threatened as well. And we all know how much they loathe Elon Musk because he interfered with their social credit system. 

The left loves to quote Martin Niemöller while at the same time do not speak out about the take downs of the moderates in their party who have the gall to preach moderation, free speech and disagreement with a party extreme.
