- lordCarbonFiber 10y agoPro-life is pretty tightly coupled to the idea women don't have the right to manage their reproductive health-> not very equalist[0]. The drug war was started by Nixon inorder to better control the black and hippie population, so not getting any points there[1]. You're left with gun rights which becomes a question of degree. It's thankfully largely divorced from the issues of sex and race, but pretty tightly coupled to regional culture more than anything else. The fact that Trump won on the backs of uneducated white men certainly says a lot.

- dllthomas 10y agoI definitely don't think of guns as a social issue... is that where it is usually classified? Granted that it doesn't fit "economic" perfectly either.
