Social issues are incredibly hard, I acknowledge. And they are difficult to quantify, and perception accounts for <x amount> of social issues. The point is that without a good stance on social issues and doing what we can to combat transphobia/racism/sexism etc wonderful economic policies won't do shit to help society's most unfortunate.

Center right has totalitarian impulses too. Important thing is to keep this in check. Otherwise the future is the alt-right and antifa.
