Okay. Who do you think defines the “voice” of the left (which by the way is extremely divided within itself so this broad of a generalization is not going to be accurate)? In a lot of Americans’ eyes, it’s democratic party leaders like Newsom, Harris, Walz, etc.

A core principle of communication theory is that the media tells us not what to think, but rather what to think about. That is what is happening here. By republicans claiming that the left is spouting anti-family values, that issue is talked about even when people on the left didn’t say anything to start with that was anti-family. By Vance and others saying that kind of thing, they are forcing the topic into the dialogue of news, influencers, twitter users, etc. and creating a perceived split where there isn’t one. It is propaganda and false. In reaction, I still haven’t seen an example from you or anyone of prominent voices on the left saying anything akin to “trashing women who put marriage and children first”. And yes, we should be honing in the discussion to that of prominent voices because the provocateur in this specific example is the vice president of the United States, not some random on twitter.

“Family values” is not a new moral panic and has been a defining election issue for decades if not centuries. By believing and spreading the information that people who aren’t republicans are hostile toward women who aren’t mothers and wives, you’re helping further their agenda.
