If you made two lists of problems that need solving in America, with one list containing reduction of gun violence, affordable housing, affordable health care and protecting voting rights, and the other list containing which bathroom someone can use, banning drag queen shows, wokeness, banning books, anti-LGBTQ laws and voter suppression, could you figure out which political party supported which list?
