I think one small part of the problem is that vote blue types don't see assimilationist tendencies from liberals as destructive, when they are arguably more destructive in some cases than the direct repression of the republicans.

Black Lives Matter might be the best example of how dem embrace nigh instantly smothered the potentual of that movement, but trans rights may be similar. You're welcome to join the rich white liberals, as long as you don't rock the boat and abandon solidarity.
