Of course it's a fantasy about what I want. Everything that ever happens in the world starts out as a fantasy of what some people want.
I think there are more cracks in that galvanizing than you think. Overturning Roe is not turning out to be the grand success they'd hoped. Yes, it's because people who vote conservative require the truth to impact them personally and emotionally before they get the point. Yes, that's fucked. But it's the sad reality we're dealing with here.
I don't expect people to flip full socialist LGBT ally overnight. But if someone starts suggesting we take up arms against our fellow residents of the US, a depiction of reality might cause enough people to pause and think, "You know, maybe let's not."
Don't act like fictional depictions have no impact on real opinions.
Like this article "How Sci-Fi Like 'WarGames' Led to Real Policy During the Reagan Administration" points out.
