        Yeah, it’s ingenious. Both sides think they are the moral one. It’s the best way to keep people distracted from what the main players are doing. It’s an eternal conflict where both sides are infallible to themselves. Once constructed it’s naturally self perpetuating.

        Pretty much. Who should use which toilet isn’t as vital as issues like citizens united and the patriot act or other large scale surveillance and corruption.
