https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/08/transgender-ads-motivate-texas-republicans

* barrage of attack ads focused on trans kids playing youth sports
* Democrats struggled to respond
* fact that Texas’ senate candidates argued about youth sports, rather than economy, immigration, future of democracy was a Republican victory

Comment: that's the plan; former go viral on social media amplifying the hate; latter ignored, weak reactionary responses
