    Perhaps a better, real-world example is that this moral calculus says that the Democrats should abandon trans people and trans issues. The logic is inescapable: Trans issues turn away a lot of voters, and it’s a really strong talking point for the other party. If they win, the Democrats could protect the LGB community, and women’s rights.

    Surely it’s better to protect the LGB community and women’s rights, but not trans people, than to protect none of them, right?

    (NB: This is rhetorical. I don’t believe it.)
