Typical right-wing politics: "Shhh! Don't worry your li'l ole head about all those rights we're taking away and all the ways we're going to screw you so the rich and powerful get more rich and powerful.... Just look at these boobies!"
The sad thing is, I'm sure the Democrats would play this game, too, if they weren't existentially paralyzed by having their collective head up their ass....
